Digital Film Tools Releases Composite Suite Pro 2.0 and zMatte 4.0
Digital Film Tools, developer of visual effects software, today announced that its Composite Suite Pro v2.0 and zMatte v4.0 plug-ins now support the OFX plug-in format. The Foundrys Nuke visual effects software and Sony Vegas editing systems are qualified hosts.
Composite Suite Pro features a well-rounded collection of visual effects plug-ins that were previously only available in-house at a Hollywood feature film effects facility. Tested in the rigors of everyday production, Composite Suite Pro provides all that is needed to combine multiple images by using compositing tricks and techniques, color correction, blur, grain, matte manipulation, lens distortion, lighting effects and edge blending.

zMatte is a full-featured keyer that is the result of Digital Film Tools experience in creating hundreds of successful blue and green screen composites. Using proprietary matte extraction techniques, zMatte quickly and simply creates mattes with minimal parameters, even when dealing with fine hair detail, smoke or reflections. It is easy to use, yet provides the necessary tools when faced with difficult shots tools such as multiple matte creation, automatic spill suppression, sophisticated matte and edge manipulation, and color correction.

“The move to OFX has been a long time coming for Digital Film Tools,” comments Marco Paolini, founder and president, Digital Film Tools. We are excited to get back to our visual effects roots with Nuke support as well as support for the mainstream Sony Vegas editing system.
