Primatte [Pri]
The Primatte node
NOTE: Primatte is only available in Fusion Studio.
Primatte Node Introduction
Primatte is an advanced keying tool for Fusion Studio. To use Primatte effectively, you must
understand how it works. Using a series of selection buttons, Primatte assigns RGB pixels into
one of the four specific zones.
–
Zone 1: Complete background image.
–
Zone 2: Foreground image with spill suppression and transparency.
–
Zone 3: Foreground image with spill suppression only.
–
Zone 4: Complete foreground image.
Depending on the type of blue- or green-screen content, you may find that the Delta Keyer or
the Primatte keyer handles the specific keying task better. There is no one-solution-fits-all when
it comes to keying, and in some cases, the combination of the two keyers may prove to be the
best solution.
NOTE: Primatte is distributed and licensed by IMAGICA Corp. of America, Los Angeles,
CA, USA. Primatte was developed by and is a trademark of IMAGICA Corp.,
Tokyo, Japan.
Inputs
The Primatte node includes six inputs in the Node Editor. Unlike every other tool in Fusion, the
primary orange input is labeled as the Foreground input, since it accepts the green-screen or
blue-screen image. The background input on the Primatte node is the green input; this is an
optional input that allows Primatte to create the final merged composite.
–
Foreground Input: The orange input accepts a 2D image that contains
blue or green screen.
