Ultimatte Software Control Layout
Settings and controls are displayed in sections. Although the interface can look intimidating
at first glance with all the different buttons and settings, it won't take long before you will be
moving between settings instinctively as you build your composite.
When you first look at the interface you can see a main menu at the top with a menu information
bar underneath. Below that, the panels are separated into sections labeled 'groups', 'functions'
and 'monitor output'. As you choose the menu and then move through the functions and groups,
the sections will populate with relevant settings letting you navigate quickly between them.
Main Menu Buttons
Use the menu buttons along the top of the screen to select the different input sources you want
to adjust, plus select the matte for making adjustments to the primary matte, and generally
configure your Ultimatte.
Information, File Control and Auto Key
This section of the interface lets you save and access preset files, set an auto composite and
configure certain settings for your Ultimatte.
Click on folder icon to manage preset and archive files, you can use the dialogue box to
save, load, import and export presets. Refer to the 'presets' and 'archives' section for more
information.
Use the auto key button to set an auto composite. For more information on setting an auto
composite, refer to the 'setting the auto composite' section for more information.
