Vince Pace Podcast, Part II

by Michael Goldman

From The Trenches recently brought you part I of my recent podcast conversation with cinematographer/stereoscopic camera guru Vince Pace about development of the Fusion 3D Camera System for James Cameron’s “Avatar,” and Vince’s views on how “Avatar” and modern stereoscopic systems like Fusion are impacting modern entertainment and media. In case you missed part I over the conversation, you can find it here.

Cinema 4D Finally Brings 3D to Motion

by Mark Spencer

Cinema 4D’s friendly interface and robust motion graphics toolset have made it the tool of choice for creating 3D motion graphic elements for title sequences, bumpers, interstitials, and the like. And it’s ability to export multipass renders as well as 3D data to After Effects have made it easy for After Effects users to integrate 3D into their projects. Well, with release 11.5, Final Cut Studio users can finally do the same, because Cinema can now export 3D data directly to a Motion project. By taking advantage of Motion’s real time render engine and Final Cut Pro integration, you can now create professional 3D projects or even Master Templates for your projects.

DSLR Shootout

by Scott Simmons

Continuing on an article in the last Pro Video Coalition newsletter, The Basics of Avid Media Composer for a Final Cut Pro Editor, this article will look at a number of other functions and how they differ from Final Cut Pro to Media Composer. One of the main reasons why I’m writing these articles is that Avid offers a free, full-featured demo of Avid Media Composer 4 available for download. When I wrote the first piece that demo was only for 14 days. They have since upped the time for this trial to 30 days. That’s great as it brings this demo in line with most free demos and even affords enough time to try to learn the in’s and out’s of the application a little bit better any maybe even use it on a real job.
