Macworld has the announcement of the new Intuos5 Pen tablets which now support multiouch and gestures. They are $229, $359 and $469 and can be made wireless with a $39 accessory kit.Hmm, I wonder how well this will work. Isn’t it going to read your hand which can rest on the tablet area? Wonder if this can be switched off?
FCP X has a video from the LA Final Cut Pro User Group on bringing FCP 7 projects to FCP X with 7tox.
MacTech has the press release, that Revision Fx has released a FCP X compatible version of Twixtor. It is $329.95, and is not the full pro version.
DIY Photography has the article on this new Kickstarter Case for a GoPro camera to really give it some serious protection.It is a bit expensive at $328, but is solid aluminum and features a self tightening door, that can tell when it is thrown.They also have the less expensive Headgear case which wraps around the gopro.Pretty interesting, though a bit more than the actual camera. Still pretty cool idea.A
CanonRumors has the news on Canon’s new 600EX-RT Speedlite with wireless transmitter built in! Very very cool! They should have done this ages ago, but it is brilliant to have this built in.
And even better no response to my first or second e-mail to support. At this point even if they do add back the friends RSS feed, I want a refund of the rest of my subscription because they are just ignoring the e-mails of a paid customer! That is not customer service and is totally unacceptable!500PX removed the features I found most useful on their site, and though they have put some back, they have not put them all back. It is time for my to contact my bank in getting back a refund, because 500px won’t even respond to me.
Canon has finally released the new flagship EOS 5D Mark III. This has many new video specific additions and better low light functionality for this full frame sensor camera.Check out a video review over at DPReview. And of course why Stu at Prolost just pre-ordered one, which is a great read for all people interested in DSLR video. And Photorumors has a great article on the insides of the camera.I would love one, but can’t afford it, or the move to full frame from APC-C as I have too many lenses currently invested (though some are full sized lenses already).
Macgasm is reporting that Intel Xeon e5 Chips are in the wild, these are also known as Sandy Bridge E and would power a next generation MacPro.I really do hope this is true, as we need a new MacPro tower, and Apple needs to not give up in the Pro market, but make a new MacPro that also has a kick ass NVIDIA card with CUDA as it’s option and really stop the speculation about Apple leaving the pro market all together.
This was announced by Red Giant today. After losing the technology license behind Magic Bullet Denoiser they had to pull it earlier this year from their site, and promised a ground up re-write, and this is it, and even better it is a free upgrade.Here is a list of features:We’ve developed Magic Bullet Denoiser II from scratch (completely new code) to bring you the quality of Denoiser 1, but with more stability. Red Giant owns this code 100% – which means the product is not going anywhere.We have spent lots of time developing the default settings for Denoiser II to give you the best possible look as soon as you apply. There’s is always room to tweak setting, but often you won’t need to.Currently Denoiser II is only available for After Effects, but it will support multiple host apps in the future (readTHIS FAQ for more info).Denoiser II is a Free Update for all Denoiser 1 and Magic Bullet Suite users. I repeat: If you already owned a license of Denoiser or bought the Magic Bullet Suite after Denoiser was discontinued, you get Denoiser II for FREE.If you own it, or the Magic Bullet Suite, download it here. If you are new to the program, you can buy it here.I love Denoiser, and used it extensively on my latest the Misadventures of Bear short, but did find it a bit buggy, so I can’t wait to try out the new version and see what it can really do.
