Is the algorithm patented? How does Ultimatte work? Would it be possible to
look at the blue values from the RGB files and turn it into an 8-bit
transparency? From what I saw at NAB, you simply turn a contrast knob to adjust
the keying factor, isn't it possible to write a program to extract the blue and
allow the user to tweak contrast on the (now-transparency) file?
