John Brawley has an excellent hands on with the new Blackmagic Pocket Camera. And info on the 4K. Sounds like an impressive little camera, though with a little rolling shutter issues, that the 4K should fix.
Amazing that Blackmagic has become such an impressive camera company in such a short period of time! And $1000 plus lenses is a steal for a 1080 camera!
Got this from Creative Cow, obvliously in response to the Maxon plug in in the new After Effects they are talking about their integration with After Effects, which is a plug in to send your scene to After Effects.
You just hit the GoAE button in Lightwave and it will send info to After Effects. It supports:
Cameras: Combine 2D footage and 3D elements by tracking the cameras of live-action footage in After Effects to cameras in LightWave. Move the cameras between After Effects and LightWave to achieve identical real-life camera movements inside LightWave.
Nulls: Send nulls from After Effects to LightWave and place them in 3D space for compositing.
Lights: Achieve the desired look by moving lights, including spotlights and point lights, between LightWave and After Effects for multiple test scenes.
NewTek also has a video showing how it works at their web site.
Of course no the rendering that the Maxon plug in will do, but still a good way to integrate shots more easily between Lightwave and After Effects. I wonder if they will get to work on a plug in like Maxon now? Hopefully!
Some exciting news from AVID is the announcement of the 64 Bit Pro Tools 11, which can supposedly bounce a full feature in a minute! That will save some time, that is for sure.
The new Media Composer release may not be exciting, but this actually is.
Amazing that you could run PCI cards off a Macbook air with thunderbolt now!
RED has started the red dragon 6K sensor pre-orders. You can read all about the Dragon on their web site. And they have a FAQ on the upgrade as well.
It is very exciting that they are are making good on their promisses and releasing upgradeable parts for your RED camera, though it makes it a constan source of putting new money into your cameras as well.
Very cool, more protection and many more mounting options.
Creative Cow has the press release, and it is already up at Blackmagic’s web site, though the download is not up yet.
It now has editing features, better color correction including support for OpenFX Plug Ins.
It will be available in Quarter 3 for free in the lite version.
Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition takes a look at Red Giant’s soon to be released BulletProof.
It is basically a tool for DIT’s. It easily allows the DIT to Import, Organize, Review, Refine and Export your Clips. Allowing backups, simple color corrections and transcodes before the edit.
It is going to be $199 when it is released, though will start as a free Beta as I have previously posted.
Electronista has the news on Intel showing off 20GB Thunberbolt which could handle uncompressed 4K and a 4K display.
Now this would be an awesome addition to a new MacPro, though again, I wouldn’t hold my breath!
Electronista has a rumor that it may happen this month, though I am not holding my breath. I am betting on the WWDC, whenever that is. And I am also betting it won’t be as much as we want in a replacement.
