About Primatte
Primatte is a chromakeying technology that removes a single color background from an image or clip, creating a transparency.
Primatte is a chromakeying technology used to extract single-color backgrounds from images or clips, creating a transparency matte to place the foreground on new backgrounds. Widely used in film and TV for compositing elements shot separately, it has been featured in hundreds of major films, like “The Lord of the Rings,” over the past 16 years. Primatte is also popular in professional photography for sports and school photo sessions.
