Can’t wait to get my hands on this!

Crossphere at AEScripts has created the $199.99 Toy Bricks 3D Physical Motion collision simulator for After Effects.

Looks very cool. A bit too much for me to get and play with, but does seem very fun.

CreatePivotalNull01

Zach Locatt has released the Create Picotal Null script at AE Scripts. It lets you quickly create a null at key layer points and parent layers to that null. It is $5.99 or name your own price.

Here is the control panel.

Again, looks very useful, I just wish there was a way to have all my scripts in the cloud and be able to use them wherever I log in, as I work in too many other bays, and hate to get used to things that make my life easy when I can’t use them elsewhere!

No film school is covering this.

Seems inevitable since they edit their own stuff, and FCP 7 is dead and and I would not want to edit a feature on the FCP X timeline.

Just ignore Rain Wilson being a moron, but this is so impressive. Being able to relight and image with another similar photo in photoshop, and even cooler being able to steal a look from an image or movie and process your video with it. They say it is very processor intensive and I believe it, but still very impressive!

Bart at Creative Impatience has the news that Adobe Anywhere is an Enterprise Only solution! It takes not one, but 4 servers to run! YOUCH!!!! And that works for 6-8 editors! And it requires 25-50 Mbps connection!

I was very excited about this, but not anymore. This is way too high end. They need to do at least iChat Theater so you can edit remotely with Premiere Pro like you could with FInal Cut Pro 7!
