Submitted Question:
Out of interest, I noticed on a couple of your videos that you use Ultra 2
virtual sets. I also have Ultra 2.
To use Ultra 2 virtual sets in VC3 do you simply use the Browse tab in VC3
to locate and insert the virtual sets?
You are correct, I use photos and tracking shot videos I "borrowed" from my Ultra CS3 software. We should point out that at the moment, Ultra hasn't been available since Adobe released CS3 suites, and they are working on this technology to reappear in other Adobe products...not sure that status of this but we REALLY need to see it come back! So many are disappointed that Ultra had disappeared, but according to Karl Soule's Blog at Adobe, it should resurface (hopefully!).
Now for my workflow:
1. Open Ultra
2. Load a virtual set (trak shot or photo).
3. Load an input clip that has an empty greenscreen shot.
4. Trim the input clip down to only 1 frame of video, and set key. It disappears completely which we want.
5. Now under the output tab, you can choose AVI for video, or Jpeg for photos. This will output a file that can be used in Visual Communicator (or any video editing software).
Hope that helps!
