Premiere Pro CS5 is Ultra amazing for keying!
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the amazing features in Premiere Pro CS 5 is the Ultra Keyer video effect. Have a hard to key greenscreen shot? Not a problem. I put together this tutorial to show you how! Enjoy!
Davinci for under $1k! WOW!
Posted by: | CommentsI have been in the film business for years and always when it came time to do color correction we wanted to afford doing it on the Davinci. Not only was it ultra expensive to hire an artist who was capable of using one, but the device itself was extremely expensive. When Blackmagic Design bought the company last year I knew CEO Grant Petty had something up his sleeve. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be the Davinci Resolve for $995. I, for one, am picking this up. Add a Tangent panel and you are in business. Of course you need to learn to use the tools but at that price its well worth it to learn!

I recently had a moment to do some work in Apple Motion 4. I remembered why I love using Apple Motion. Its super easy to get
started and the UI is highly intuitive. You can create some great motion graphics on the fly and it comes with some hot templates that you can of course customize.
I looked around the web for some fun tutorials. Of course if you have a moment visit Mark Spencer's blog. He has some great training, tutorials and of course his book!
I will be doing some as well very soon!
How will you use this information to the fullest?Color correcting in Premiere Pro CS4 using Mojo!
Posted by: | CommentsOne part of the post process I have grown to embrace is colorizing my footage. There are so many tools out there for the filmmaker to use nowadays. This is a good thing! All distributors will love it when you show up with a movie looking like the latest blockbuster. The best part about it is there are awesome new tools such as Magic Bullet Mojo, priced at a mere $99, that will boost up your ordinary hd or sd video to look like one of Hollywood's top 10.
