Ultra Key and the Mercury Playback Engine

More at HowNowVideo.com. In this video I review Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and the new filter called Ultra Key. This filter is used instead of Chroma Key to produce outstanding green screen effects quickly. I also review the Mercury Playback Engine that is supported by certain nvidia cards.

@teddynozza Your best bet is to go download a free 30-day trial of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. Your operating system needs to be running on 64-bit. Go to Adobe's website and try the free trial software to find out.

You used hack for active the Mercury Playback Engine?

[dteubner]

@SrMPO I got the Mercury Playback Engine to work with my GTX 480 using a simple hack. However the GTX 480 should be supported officially soon. Search the Internet for instructions on the hack if you need it.

Fantastic! Thanks for the video! How long would the render take using software-only based methods?

[dteubner]

@sanctemify On my system it takes about 4-times longer to render in software only. However I have a modest Dell XPS 630i. Faster machines, like i7-based systems, would do a better job at it. It's best to get a compatible nvidia card.
