REVIEW: proDad Vitascene

Once back in the edit application, you can drag through your effect to see it in context.  You will, of course, have to render the effect, but since Vitascene uses the GPU to speed up the render process, you’ll finish that in record time.  Rendering very complicated 1-second transitions never took longer than 10 seconds in my testing, and that is with a 3.2 Ghz Pentium D chip and a videocard that, while state-of-the-art two years ago, is hardly bleeding-edge today.

As cool as it is, Vitascene has a few rough edges.  The interface seems a little sloppy, with several misspellings, and the layout can be a little confusing.  And some might feel that the $400US price is a little steep (although there is a limited version available for $99US.) However, these are quibbles.  If you need to add some visual interest to your productions, proDad’s Vitascene is a great place to start.
