In terms of digital animation and compositing, there's little you can't do with After Effects CS6, and with OpenGL acceleration you can do it all with alacrity. Create title sequences & special effects for videos, and composite objects into scenes realistically. Track & rotoscope with mocha, the 2.5D planar-tracking program that now launches directly from within After Effects CS6. With 90 new or enhanced effects, After Effects CS6 continues to eliminate the need for many individual plug-ins, and even other standalone programs. Now integrated into After Effects, for instance, is the CycoreFX HD suite.

Other new features include variable mask feathering, plus the ability to convert Adobe Illustrator vector art into shape layers and to import Avid AAF and Final Cut Pro 7 files by using Pro Import AE. There's also a repair function that fixes the rolling-shutter artifacts that many CMOS imagers tend to introduce into footage. For the CS6 version, Adobe has both expanded After Effects and strengthened its performance with native support for 64-bit operating systems that allows the program to address all the RAM that your OS allows.

Creative Suite 6 Production Premium for Mac

Samy's Camera — Mon, 07 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium for Mac provides a full set of professional tools for video editing, effects creation, graphic design, and image editing – and for outputting all this creative content as Blu-ray discs, Flash video, and just about any video file type imaginable. The Production Premium suite comprises several software programs that are essential to editors, effects artists, and graphic designers: Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, SpeedGrade CS6, Photoshop Extended CS6, Audition CS6, Illustrator CS6, Flash Professional CS6, Encore CS6, Media Encoder CS6, Prelude CS6, and Story CS6.

For video producers, Production Premium has a tool for every task. If you need to turn down a job, it won't be for lack of a professional software solution. Creative Suite 6 adds a color-grading program, SpeedGrade CS6, which was used on several Hollywood films when it was a standalone program from Iridas. (Adobe has since acquired Iridas technology.) SpeedGrade leverages your system's GPU to open the full dynamic range of your footage, and it works with RAW, HDR, and stereoscopic content.

While SpeedGrade will help you finish projects, the new Prelude will get you off to a faster start. Its unified interface for crucial ingest and logging workflows will have your editor off to the races once it's time to cut footage.

For CS6, all the established programs get a significant update, with faster performance and expanded functions. Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 expands its multicam capabilities, adds tools (Warp Stabilizer and Rolling Shutter Repair effects), accelerates and fortifies its 64-bit Mercury playback engine, and introduces productive little touches such as expanded trimming options and the ability to edit without stopping playback. After Effects CS6 adds a 3D camera tracker and a Global Performance Cache, which lets the software take full advantage of your system's 64-bit hardware to make After Effects quicker and more responsive, even with extremely high-resolution projects.

The CS6 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator enjoy speed and performance enhancements. The "Mercury" concept is familiar to editors who use Premiere Pro CS5 and up – which employ the Mercury Playback Engine that relies on 64-bit native software to get the most out of your system for fast graphics processing. Likewise, the Mercury Graphics Engine of Photoshop and the Mercury Performance System of Illustrator enable your 64-bit computer to address full system RAM in order to speed imaging and processing tasks and that once slowed down your workflow.

With that extra processing power, you can enjoy the expanded capabilities of these programs. Photoshop CS6, for instance, offers a Contact-Aware Patch that allows you to choose a sample area that serves as the basis for a patch. Illustrator enables you to convert raster images into editable, scalable vectors – the program's bread and butter.

Flash Professional CS6 supports updated Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes, and you can also export content authored in Flash Professional to HTML. Fireworks features a new CSS Properties panel to let you cleanly extract CSS elements and values.

Creative Suite 6 Production Premium serves the digital creative professional whose demands grow as quickly as technology advances. Now with professional color-grading software, the suite is as comprehensive as video production suites currently come. Your job might not be getting any simpler, but Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium helps you keep pace with expanded functions, improved performance, and streamlined workflow.

Media Composer 6.5

Samy's Camera — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMT

The Avid Media Composer 6.5 is the top choice for professional film and video editing in the industry. Whether you edit movies, TV shows, commercials, or other video, this industry-standard nonlinear editor provides 64-bit performance, easy-to-use video editing tools, and streamlined HD, file-based, and stereo 3D workflows. Its open platform enables you to work with the gear you have or want and integrate into any workflow. Plus, it's designed to eliminate bottlenecks, enabling you to work faster than ever.

Features:

What's New in Media Composer 6.5: Media Composer 6.5 offers several important new additions over version 6.0.
Version and Archive Finished Sequences with AS-02: With support for the AS-02 MXF mastering format through AMA, managing multiple versions of the same sequence is easy, as AS-02 packs everything into a single bundle without duplicating assets, saving storage space. Seamlessly move content between Avid and other systems that support AS-02. Use JPEG 2000, DNxHD, IMX, AVC-Intra, and uncompressed media in your AS-02 workflow. And because AS-02 is an open industry standard, you'll eliminate time wasted on repackaging content.
Master-Quality Archives with JPEG 2000: Encode and decode sequences-in mastering quality-using the JPEG 2000 codec, which helps preserve the quality of versioning and archival content in an AS-02 workflow. And because JPEG 2000 content offers resolution scalability and holds up over multiple generations when moving content across different vendors' solutions, you gain future flexibility with archived content.
Export Content Using AMA: AMA makes it easy to access and edit file-based media without transcoding. Now you can use AMA to export files back to the media's original source format for archiving or final delivery. AMA writeback is available for HDCAM SR, with more on the way as AMA plug-ins are updated and more are developed. And with new AMA Volume export support, you can create AS-02, JPEG 2000, DNxHD, AVC-I, and other file-based media volumes for roundtrip workflows, sharing, or archival.
Set and Output AFD Sequences: With new Active Format Description (AFD) support, you can create, edit, set, and deliver HD content, and rest assured that it'll be presented optimally to your audience as intended-even when down-converted and reformatted to a different aspect ratio. Simply select an AFD code for a sequence, and your settings will carry through your output.
Relink Clips Using Common Metadata: Gain more freedom and flexibility to interact with media from other software applications. With advanced relink support, you can dynamically reconnect clips to the original or new media using a wide variety of common metadata fields -- anything that's being tracked.
Open Up Your Workflow with Hardware Release: With the new hardware release control, which works with Avid and third-party I/O hardware, you can activate/deactivate your hardware -- without disconnecting it -- to access software-only features, such as full screen playback mode and audio project settings options. You can also share your third-party hardware and monitor between Media Composer and other applications without quitting or rebooting software.
Work Faster with Advanced Audio Keyframing: Save time when editing soundtracks. With new audio keyframe enhancements, you can now copy, paste, cut, move, and adjust audio keyframes -- including groups -- anywhere on the timeline. You can even delete those hidden audio keyframes that can occur as you trim a clip, with just a click.
Mix Up to 64 Audio Voices : Monitor more complex soundtracks with support for up to 64 audio voices. Combined with robust audio tools, 7.1 surround sound and RTAS plug-in support, and unmatched integration with Pro Tools, the Media Composer family of products offers great built-in audio tools for video editors.
Plus : Edit titles directly from the timeline. And automatically relink to all AMA QuickTime files.
Editing: With Media Composer, you can edit file-based media, stereoscopic 3D material, tape, and film fast and easy.
Full 64-Bit Power : Fast gets even faster with native 64-bit operation, so even when you layer together the most complex effects, things will still feel snappy. Experience smoother playback, faster rendering performance, and better handling with large bins -- and say goodbye to the old memory limitations of 32-bit operating systems.
Open to Anything : You never know what kinds of media, projects, and people will arrive at your desk or doorstep. That's why Media Composer offers open workflows, so you can take on whatever challenge awaits. Work with file-based media, tape, and film. Capture and monitor with your choice of powerful and reliable Avid or third-party interfaces. Accelerate editing with Artist Series control surfaces. Integrate into any professional production pipeline. Sync projects with Pro Tools editors using Video Satellite. And take your offline online to Symphony or Avid DS -- without redoing work.
Experience the "Waitless" Workflow : With AMA (Avid Media Access), you can instantly access and edit file-based media, including ARRI ALEXA MXF, RED (EPIC, SCARLET-X, and ONE), AVCHD, ProRes, QuickTime (with support for footage from HDSLR cameras), XDCAM, P2, Canon XF, and other formats without transcoding or copying files. Preview footage without the wait. And as new cameras and formats emerge, manufacturers can create and release their own AMA plug-ins independently from a Media Composer release.
Work with Any Media : For file-based media, analog and digital tape, stereoscopic 3D material, and film, Media Composer offers ACE-certified editing tools and a wide range of features, workflows, and options that enable you to work with everything, from old-school media to the latest camera technologies. Plus, with support for 4:4:4 HD-RGB color and DNxHD 444, you can work efficiently while preserving the full-quality color detail from beginning to end.
Experience Cutting Edge Storytelling: Media Composer enables you to work the way you want. Trim and manipulate on the fly using the Smart Tool, or perform ultra-precise edits using traditional tools. Mix and match media formats, frame rates, resolutions, and more in the same timeline without rendering.

Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for Mac (Student & Teacher Edition)

Samy's Camera — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for Mac (Student & Teacher Edition) provides a full set of professional tools for video editing, effects creation, graphic design, website & application development, page layout, and image editing – and for publishing all this creative content to mobile devices, the web, print, and tablets. The Master Collection comprises several software programs that are essential to editors, effects artists, graphic designers, and digital publishing professionals: Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, SpeedGrade CS6, Photoshop CS6, Audition CS6, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Flash Professional CS6 & Flash Builder 4.6 Premium, Fireworks CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, Story CS6, and Acrobat X Pro.

For media artists, the Master Collection has a tool for every task. If you need to turn down a job, it won't be for lack of a professional software solution. Creative Suite 6 even includes a color-grading program, SpeedGrade CS6, which was used on several Hollywood films when it was a standalone program from Iridas. (Adobe has since acquired Iridas technology.) SpeedGrade leverages your system's GPU to open the full dynamic range of your footage, and it works with RAW, HDR, and stereoscopic content.

For CS6, all the major programs get a significant update, with faster performance and expanded functions. Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 expands its multicam capabilities, adds tools (Warp Stabilizer and Rolling Shutter Repair effects), accelerates and fortifies its 64-bit Mercury playback engine, and introduces productive little touches such as expanded trimming options and the ability to edit without stopping playback. After Effects CS6 adds a 3D camera tracker and a Global Performance Cache, which lets the software take full advantage of your system's 64-bit hardware to make After Effects quicker and more responsive, even with extremely high-resolution projects.

The CS6 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator enjoy speed and performance enhancements. The "Mercury" concept is familiar to editors who use Premiere Pro CS5 and up, which employ the Mercury Playback Engine that relies on 64-bit native software to get the most out of your system for fast graphics processing. Likewise, the Mercury Graphics Engine of Photoshop and the Mercury Performance System of Illustrator enable your 64-bit computer to address full system RAM in order to speed imaging and processing tasks and that once slowed down your workflow.

With that extra processing power, you can enjoy the expanded capabilities of these programs. Photoshop CS6, for instance, offers a Contact-Aware Patch that allows you to choose a sample area that serves as the basis for a patch. Illustrator enables you to convert raster images into editable, scalable vectors – the program's bread and butter.

As the definition of "publishing" expands, so too do the functions of Adobe InDesign. Even before the CS6 version, the program had already embraced publishing interactive page layouts to iPads and other tablets, e-book readers, and other digital devices. You can create several different layouts to serve different display dimensions, and save them all within a single file. Liquid Layout automatically resizes your layout based on page size.

For website and application creation, Dreamweaver CS6 lets you design, develop, and maintain multimedia HTML5/CSS3 websites and applications. You can also build native mobile apps for Android and iOS using integrated mobile frameworks. Flash Professional CS6 supports updated Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes, and you can also export content authored in Flash Professional to HTML. Fireworks features a new CSS Properties panel to let you cleanly extract CSS elements and values.

Creative Suite 6 Master Collection serves the digital creative professional whose demands grow as quickly as technology advances. Now with professional color-grading software, the suite is as comprehensive as they currently come. Your job might not be getting any simpler, but Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection helps you keep pace with expanded functions, improved performance, and streamlined workflow.

The Master Collection comprises several software programs that are essential to editors, effects artists, graphic designers, and digital publishing professionals: Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, SpeedGrade CS6, Photoshop CS6, Audition CS6, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Flash Professional CS6 & Flash Builder 4.6 Premium, Fireworks CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, Story CS6, and Acrobat X Pro.

For media artists, the Master Collection has a tool for every task. If you need to turn down a job, it won't be for lack of a professional software solution. Creative Suite 6 even includes a color-grading program, SpeedGrade CS6, which was used on several Hollywood films when it was a standalone program from Iridas. (Adobe has since acquired Iridas technology.) SpeedGrade leverages your system's GPU to open the full dynamic range of your footage, and it works with RAW, HDR, and stereoscopic content.

For CS6, all the major programs get a significant update, with faster performance and expanded functions. Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 expands its multicam capabilities, adds tools (Warp Stabilizer and Rolling Shutter Repair effects), accelerates and fortifies its 64-bit Mercury playback engine, and introduces productive little touches such as expanded trimming options and the ability to edit without stopping playback. After Effects CS6 adds a 3D camera tracker and a Global Performance Cache, which lets the software take full advantage of your system's 64-bit hardware to make After Effects quicker and more responsive, even with extremely high-resolution projects.

The CS6 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator enjoy speed and performance enhancements. The "Mercury" concept is familiar to editors who use Premiere Pro CS5 and up, which employ the Mercury Playback Engine that relies on 64-bit native software to get the most out of your system for fast graphics processing. Likewise, the Mercury Graphics Engine of Photoshop and the Mercury Performance System of Illustrator enable your 64-bit computer to address full system RAM in order to speed imaging and processing tasks and that once slowed down your workflow.

With that extra processing power, you can enjoy the expanded capabilities of these programs. Photoshop CS6, for instance, offers a Contact-Aware Patch that allows you to choose a sample area that serves as the basis for a patch. Illustrator enables you to convert raster images into editable, scalable vectors – the program's bread and butter.

As the definition of "publishing" expands, so too do the functions of Adobe InDesign. Even before the CS6 version, the program had already embraced publishing interactive page layouts to iPads and other tablets, e-book readers, and other digital devices. You can create several different layouts to serve different display dimensions, and save them all within a single file. Liquid Layout automatically resizes your layout based on page size.

For website and application creation, Dreamweaver CS6 lets you design, develop, and maintain multimedia HTML5/CSS3 websites and applications. You can also build native mobile apps for Android and iOS using integrated mobile frameworks. Flash Professional CS6 supports updated Flash Player and Adobe AIR runtimes, and you can also export content authored in Flash Professional to HTML. Fireworks features a new CSS Properties panel to let you cleanly extract CSS elements and values.

Creative Suite 6 Master Collection serves the digital creative professional whose demands grow as quickly as technology advances. Now with professional color-grading software, the suite is as comprehensive as they currently come. Your job might not be getting any simpler, but Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection helps you keep pace with expanded functions, improved performance, and streamlined workflow.

Photoshop Elements 11 & Premiere Elements 11 for Mac and Windows

Samy's Camera — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Premiere Elements 11 for Mac and Windows is a software bundle that combines all the tools you'll need to organize, edit, enhance, and share your videos and photos with your closest friends – or the wide world. Both Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements are based on Adobe's industry-leading professional software programs for photo and video editing. The Elements versions borrow many of the best features from those programs, while adding automated tools that make it supremely easy to add a professional sheen to any digital photo or movie.

Features

Easy Drag and Drop HD/SD Video Editing
Professional-Quality Video Effects
Color-Correction Presets & Fine-Tuning
HD Burning to DVD or Blu-Ray Discs
100 Paint Effects & Patterns for Photos
Create Online Albums, Cards & Scrapbooks
Share Videos to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo
Brighter, More Intuitive User Interface
New Guided Edits and Filter Effects
New Google Maps Geo-Tagging

Photoshop Elements features Guided Edits, which walk you step by step through the process of adding advanced effects to your photos, such as depth of field simulation. On the video side, Premiere Elements 11 features advanced color-enhancement tools as well as themes for its InstantMovie tool, which performs an automatic edit of your best footage, complete with titles and music, based on a chosen cinematic theme.

The two programs together form a package that's greater than the sum of its parts. Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements offers a shared Organizer that serves as the central hub of your two programs. This becomes increasingly important as storage cost-per-gigabyte goes down and the number of photo and video files that you accumulate continues to skyrocket. Photoshop Elements features an intelligent Object Search feature that lets you search based on a specific object in a photo. You can also organize photos & videos based on visual tags, and tag photos for Facebook upload using your Friends list.

Photoshop Elements 11 improves upon version 10 in a number of key ways, starting with a brighter, more intuitive user interface. It's easier to navigate and still gives you the flexibility to customize it to your liking. Version 11 also advances the Photoshop Elements program via new Guided Edits and Filter Effects, as well as enhanced object selection. Plus, you can now import third party actions and take advantage of Adobe Revel connectivity.

Premiere Elements has also experienced an overhaul of its user interface in version 11. The interface is now larger, brighter and easier to read and navigate. Easily-accessed pop-up menus prevent the interface from feeling cluttered, while enabling you to utilize every tool with just a few clicks. Video editing is simplified and improved with easy color adjustments, Hollywood FilmLooks, and slow- and fast-motion effects, as well as blend modes and 64-bit Mac OS X support.

For both Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11, you can now perform Google maps geo-tagging and share videos to Vimeo. You can also print to CeWe (EMEA).
