Red Giant Software Announces Two Updates to Its Product Line (3/8/2006)

Red Giant Software, publisher of a line of professional digital video tools, including Magic Bullet and Knoll Light Factory today announced Instant HD Pro and Primatte Keyer 4 which are both scheduled for release in the fall of 2006.

Instant HD Pro

Instant HD Pro up-converts DV video into a variety of HD video formats. Like Instant HD, the Pro version lists presets to make it easy to integrate DV video into your next High Definition production. When scaling from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD), Instant HD generates missing pixels using multi-frame analysis. Instant HD Pro trades a faster algorithm for superior quality results.

· Optimized scaler that features multi-frame analysis
· Integrated controls for more advanced sharpness and noise reduction
· Available in October 2006 for $395 USD

Primatte Keyer 4 for Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Avid Xpress Pro, AVX

Primatte Keyer 4 is a green-screen tool enabling artists to extract keys from any color background by simply sampling the background color and clicking.
