Keylight 2.0v3
This is a maintenance release of Keylight on Final Cut Pro.
Release Date
28 October 2009
Requirements
- FCP 6.0 or FCP 7.0
- Mac OS X (tested on 10.5 Leopard)
- Foundry FLEXlm Tools (FFT) (5.0v1 or later) for floating license support.
New Features
There are no new features in this release.
Improvements
- The plug-in now appears in the Effects > Video Filters > Keylight menu with the version number after its name, for example Keylight (2.0). This allows you to have several different versions of Keylight available on one machine.
- The Help dialog now includes an Enter Serial Number button. This opens a web browser and takes you to a page where you can activate the plug-in. For more information, see Activating Keylight on page 6 of the User Guide.
- The artwork for splash screens and dialogs has been updated.
- Change to installation. Keylight is now installed to the following directories:
/Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug/Keylight_2.0_FCP/
/Applications/TheFoundry/Keylight_2.0_FCP/Docs/Keylight2.0v3_FCP.pdf
Bug Fixes
- BUG ID 7075 - The Foundry plug-ins for Final Cut Pro were not designed to work with other applications supporting the FxPlug framework, such as Motion. When these plug-ins were used in Motion, crashes would result. This has been fixed by explicitly preventing the inadvertent use of the plug-ins in Motion. The user is notified by a splash screen that the plug-in will only function in Final Cut Pro.
- BUG ID 7093 - If the Inside Mask's Inside Replace Colour was zero, invalid ("inf") rgb values could occur. This is now fixed.
- BUG ID 7108 - After applying Keylight, the Intermediate Result would contain a binary alpha channel. This would make it less useful for using as an additional matte for further keying operations. It should have contained a continuous alpha channel. This has been fixed.
- BUG ID 8864 - Keylight would cause FCP to crash when working with larger projects containing hundreds of Keylight instances. FCP would crash when a sequence containing numerous Keylight plug-ins was copied and pasted, because the computer would run out of memory. This has been fixed.
- BUG ID 8902 - The Source Crops horizontal and vertical cropping controls were non-functional. This would have prevented simple removal of, e.g. wiring from the edges of the image. This has been fixed.
- BUG ID 8903 - The Edge Colour parameter for Inside and Outside masks did not change the effect depending on the colour. It should. This has been fixed.
Known Bugs and Workarounds
- Final Cut Pro can set video processing to render in RGB, 8-bit YUV, or high-precision YUV. In the 8-bit YUV and high-precision YUV rendering modes, frames that are rendered offline (by pressing Cmd+R, or by selecting one of the Render options in the Sequence menu) will appear slightly smoothed when compared with frames that are rendered online (by clicking on a position in the timeline). This is not a defect in Keylight, but rather applies to all plug-ins in Final Cut Pro.
- BUG ID 8895 - In some contexts, Final Cut Pro does not seem to support the use of alpha images which have not been premultiplied. We are investigating the issue. As such, the Unpremultiply Result option will therefore not yield useful images in Final Cut Pro, as Final Cut Pro will interpret the resulting images as premultiplied.
- BUG ID 8899 - Use of the Screen Matte operations Screen Dilate, Screen Softness, Screen Despot Black, and Screen Despot white can introduce faint interlacing (fielding) artefacts when the output sequence is fielded. The extent of the artefacts are best inspected in the Status view.
