OK. Just bought the Ultrastudio 3D device to do fill/key exporting. I've spent the past few hours trying to get this going right and have had no luck. LiveKey only does stills... I can see it... But I want video. I tried After Effects... Looks like Luma key, not Alpha (transparent). Tried FCP7 with no luck.. Is there any software that will export both for a decent price? All I need it to load clips and push them out Fill/Key. I'm on a Mac so that limits some of the options. Please help.

Check out ProPresenter with the optional Alpha Keyer Module. You can demo both the app and module before buying. The module demo is accessed via Preferences > Modules > Demo Modules.

CasparCGis free, but will require a Windows box to act as the video server. You can use a Mac to control it, but Windows is required. Not sure if that helps at all.

ProPresenter is my backup option. 1400.00 is a bit high just to have the outputs. I do everything else in FCP or After Effects. I was thinking about CasperCG but I don't have Windows and if I put it on my Mac I can't confirm that the Thunderbolt port or UltraStudio 3D will work... I see the graphic out of both channels in After Effects but no fill/key seperate. In Premier I see both seperate but the key is the full screen and not cutting out the graphic... I have searched the internet for days. If I can't find another way for less that 1400.00 I'll go with ProPresenter next month.

Please help... I just need something that sends both signals. I might try Windows with Casper...
