This week’s Fries n’ Shake add-on sales opportunities video highlights the various accessories a customer using Avid Media Composer might also need. Whether it’s software or storage any editor using an NLE like Avid Media Composer will probably need some additional equipment down the line.
Together with the global availability of the Avid Artist | DNxIV, we’re also launching an update to Media Composer, Avid’s professional tool to acquire, edit, and deliver 2K/HD to 4K/UHD to 8K and other high-resolution content with great speed and ease.
Check out the new Immersive Video effects in After Effects and Premiere Pro CC 2018 in this tutorial. Including free 360 footage!
2017 was a big year for Media Composer. Avid introduced many cool features to help improve the everyday editing experience. Some were big and grabbed a lot of attention (Hello, ScriptSync and 8K Project presets!) and some were smaller, but still very useful. Many of them were requested and voted upon by our Avid Customer Association. (Speaking of which, if you’re not already a member of the ACA, you should check it out. At the very least, come party with us at Avid Connectbefore we kick off NAB 2018!)
VEGAS Pro is a comprehensive, all in one post production “must have” NLE companion with everything you need to create high end projects. I have used VEGAS Pro for more than ten years and yes, I am a Mac user, and yes, I have had Windows partition with BootCamp from day one on my MacBook Pro only for VEGAS PRO as that is my backpack studio.
VEGAS Pro 15 is a major step in the right direction. The development team at Magix has shown that they understand the needs of VEGAS Pro’s users and the software is now, once again, a relevant contender in the NLE market.
Never has it been a better time to be an effects and visual effects geek like me. Boris FX has cornered the market on the high end visual effects, with their flagship plug-in package, Boris Continuum Complete, they purchased both Imagineer Systems as well as GenArts, to lock up the best tracking and roto application on the market today, Mocha (Pro/AE/BCC/Sapphire), and they finished their acquisition a few months ago of GenArts, bringing the highest of the high end visual effects into the mix. Boris FX (we no longer say GenArts Sapphire, it’s now simply Boris FX Sapphire 11) has recently released the next version of Sapphire, Sapphire 11, so let’s take an in-depth look, and see if this newest update is worth your hard earned dollars.
Earlier in September we revealed a number of the most exciting features coming to Premiere Pro CC. What we didn’t tell you is that this release includes over 170 new features across Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, not to mention new features for After Effects, Audition, and Team Projects. And the best news is all these new features are available now.
We know it’s been a long time coming for true improvements in the area of hardware acceleration for rendering in VEGAS Pro. When we took over production of VEGAS Pro nearly a year and a half ago, nothing was closer to the top of our priority list than this. In VEGAS Pro 14, we introduced hardware-accelerated HEVC rendering for both 8-bit and 10-bit rendering.
