Best software for greenscreen compositing? (MAC)

Hi all,

A new member here and I’m asking a question which surely has been asked before, but I would like to get the most recent and updated information on this.

I would need a greenscreen composition software for Macintosh Leopard. I do editing with Final Cut Pro 7, but obviously the standard greenscreen plugins for FCP pretty much suck.

I would prefer a software which has a smooth workflow with Final Cut, but if necessary, I can export/import clips from one program to the next.

I do realize that the quality of compositing is largely dependent on the quality of the video footage. I film with EX1 in progressive mode, and I do know how to light a greenscreen setup properly.

I would need to do complex and detailed greenscreen stuff, including hair and flying debris. So I need a quality software to do this.

I have heard some good things about Ultimatte Advantedge, but it’s fairly costly with a $1500 prize tag, and I’m not sure if there are better options out there with similar, or cheaper costs.

I do think that it’s better to get a more prizey program if it helps to save time (and money) in the future, and provides obviously better quality.

I would be glad for any suggestions that people might give of good softwares.

Big thanks for your help,

Tuukka
