In case you’ve wondered
In the off chance that anyone has wondered why I’ve been distant (and grumpy on occasion) I can fnally share. At NAB 2 weeks ago we announced the products I’ve been working madly on for the past God-knows-how-long. We announced a number of cool updates to Apple’s Pro application suite, the ones nearest and dearest to my heart being,Final Cut Pro HD,LiveType 1.2, and Cinema Tools 2.2 (being that I do engineering on FCP and i manage portions of the development on LiveType and Cinema tools.
In addition we announced a brand new Application called Motion which I (and a few guys on my team) helped out on. This app is a really cool motion graphics solution for doing various forms of video animations and effects. Its definitely well worth checking out…
And for those who don’t know what these apps are here’s some more info:
Final Cut Pro HD: A professional non-linear editor for video editing and production. This application is used to put together everything from wedding videos to TV shows such as Scrubs to major motion pictures such as Cold Mountain
LiveType: A professional tool for video titling and text animations. From Apple’s site: “Use LiveType to create sophisticated, professional-quality titles for film, TV and video using revolutionary LiveFont animated font technology. New integration capabilities let you edit and automatically update LiveType projects in Final Cut Pro HD more quickly and easily than ever.”
Cinema Tools: A database that tracks the relationship between your original film and sound with its digitized counterpart in Final Cut Pro HD, Cinema Tools provides the vital link between your original film negative and your digital video edits — and it now comes with the powerful new features you demanded.
Motion: Introducing Motion, the only motion graphics package with real-time previews, procedural behavior animation and Final Cut Pro HD integration. Apple’s high-performance motion graphic design and production application lets you explore new creative territory using self-propelled behavior animation, character-by-character title animation and a powerful new interface. Motion integrates seamlessly with Final Cut Pro HD and DVD Studio Pro 3, making it quicker and easier than ever to create motion graphics for film, video and DVDs.
