Their Camera Tracker plug-in, currently in pre-beta, looks set to provide long-missing functionality to After Effects, and once it has been added, it will likely transform the type of work seen from After Effects artists.

NAB 2010, NAB 2010 Post 2010-04-20T21:15:00+00:00 http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/final_cut_pro_gets_ability_to_search_for_words_in_audio/ http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/final_cut_pro_gets_ability_to_search_for_words_in_audio/#When:19:32:14Z Avid and Adobe both have technology that allows users to search for specific words in the audio of their footage, but to date, that ability has not been part of the Final Cut Pro arsenal. A new piece of software from Nexidia and AV3 called “get” allows users to quickly search all their media based on actual spoken words within their content, rather than just Finder level data or FCP metadata. Once results are found, they can be used by FCP in the edit. Click here to read the rest of Steve’s preview of “get” for Final Cut Pro. NAB 2010, NAB 2010 Post 2010-04-14T19:32:14+00:00 http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/blackmagic_resolve_rumor/ http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/blackmagic_resolve_rumor/#When:15:49:14Z Well, the rumor that started making the rounds last night have been confirmed. Back in September, Blackmagic acquired the venerable and respected da Vinci color correction brand. Ever since, colorists either shuddered or rejoiced to think that today’s events would occur. Today, Blackmagic announced the release of the new DaVinci Resolve 7.0 that includes support for the Mac OS X platform, upgraded user interface, improved video field support, a new EDL library, improved shared database support, as well as new pricing for all models starting from a very affordable $995. Delivery for the Mac version is planned for sometime this summer - after June. Click here to read the rest of Steve’s preview of BlackMagic Resolve for OS X.

Adobe has seeded us with preliminary versions, and hired us to help create some documentation on the new release; we wanted to share with you our own impressions plus insights into the new features in After Effects CS5.

Checking out the NAB website might feel like an overwhelming task with so many educational opportunities and so many vendors on the show floor. Spread all of this out over the vastness that is the Las Vegas Convention Center and there’s an awful lot to see and do. And if you plan on attending and of the Conference sessions (as opposed to only the exhibits) then you must get registered. If you are hitting only the exhibits then you have to get a pass for that as well. As a post-production professional visiting the show, here’s how I might approach a few days at the event. NAB 2010, NAB 2010 Insight 2010-03-30T13:04:00+00:00 http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/our_booth_targets_at_nab/ http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/our_booth_targets_at_nab/#When:02:02:00Z We’re giving at total of eight talks at NAB’s PostProduction World this year (click here for the full grid of classes), so that is going to occupy a good deal of our time. In between talks, we’ll be spending most of our time in the South Hall on the lookout for the latest advancements in motion graphics. Fortunately, most of the companies we plan to see are clustered close together (click here for a full list of exhibitors). Below are a few on our hit list: NAB 2010, NAB 2010 Post 2010-03-29T02:02:00+00:00 http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/adobe_community_leaders_summit/ http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/nabpost/adobe_community_leaders_summit/#When:06:21:00Z In late January, Adobe invited a variety of well-known people in the industry to come get a closer look at what they’ve been working on, and to provide feedback on their direction. To Adobe’s credit, this was no “preaching to the choir” session; many of those invited were FCP and Avid editors, and several current users gave Adobe personnel an earful both publicly and privately. It was also made clear to us that no specific product versions or release dates were being discussed, and that we couldn’t repeat anything that had not already been mentioned publicly (reminds us of the old Zen Buddhist saying “Those who know don’t say; those who say don’t know”). However, this event gives us an excuse to aggregate into one place a number of emerging technologies Adobe has already murmured about, for those who haven’t had the chance to keep up, and want an idea of what they might see at NAB 2010.
