Piccure Camera Shake Reduction Plug in Beta

Petapixel has an article on the beta of the new Piccure Camera Shake Reduction Plug in that you can download for free for 14 days to try to give feedback. Looks pretty amazing, I am looking forward to giving it a go. Be interesting to see if it is better than Adobe’s own solution which is coming with the next cloud version of creative cloud.

Check it out at their web site.

Align 3D AE Script

align3d_title_aescripts_1

Align3D is a new After Effects script to align and distribute objects in 3D space. it is $29.99 or you can name your own price. Awesome.

Honestly I would buy more of these if I could take them with me. If there was a way to have a cloud license so you can install them and they only work if you log in one machine at a time, as I work in so many different offices on so many different machines. Sure I have awesome scripts on my home computer, but how awesome would it be to be able to take them with me wherever I go? Now that would rock!

Impressive stuff. This is a great program, though with a decent learning curve. Worth learning though as it does a fantastic job!

Michael Kammes on AVID Media Composer 7

Michael Kammes on AVID Media Composer 7 and what it means for you.

His thoughts do seem to jive with mine, that this version is somewhat disappointing. Yes you don’t often need to finish above HD, but it would be great to be able to, especially for future proofing (and how often do you see a new version of Media Composer being used in an edit bay, places tend to stick with a version for a long time), and especially when Final Cut Pro 7 could do it so long ago. I guess they want you to buy DS to finish with true resolution independence.

LUT support is great, and it is good that it is finally included.

And instead of background rendering we get watch folders? Useful, but not all that useful!
