After CS3, the keyer from Ultra was integrated into two other Adobe products – Visual Communicator 3, and Premiere Elements. Ultra as a standalone application was distributed with Adobe Creative Suite 3 (released March 2007) but noticeably absent from CS4 (released October 2008) and CS5 (released April 2010). Unlike many of the other applications in the Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Ultra only runs on the Windows operating system. Ultra was previously known as Serious Magic Ultra Key, and was acquired when Adobe purchased Serious Magic Inc. Since its discontinuation as a standalone product, the functionalities of Ultra have been incorporated into other Adobe products, namely Adobe Visual Communicator (since 2007), Adobe Premiere Elements (since 2008), and Adobe Premiere Pro (since 2010).
Ultra also included virtual set technology, which allows the keying of a subject into an animated virtual 3D environment. Ultra performs complex image analysis to produce high quality chroma-key effects in less than ideal lighting environments. Adobe Ultra is a discontinued vector keying application, helping produce blue-screen/ green-screen effects for video (although the background can actually be any color).
