REVIEW - Class on Demand's Basic Training for Adobe's Production Premium CS4
As I seem to have been saying more and more lately, in these tough economic times, the only person that can help you is yourself. With the way the world is going, people are deciding to do major career changes, and one industry that seems to have everyone interested is television, but there is a slight problem. Making yourself viable means spending money to make money, and you need to spend money on equipment and software, which believe it or not, is the easy part of the process. The second thing you have to spend money on is training to get yourself up to speed to start creating cool work that will land you jobs, but here’s the catch. How do you decide if this is REALLY what you want to do? You can spend all your money on equipment, and then realize that it is too overwhelming! Well, that’s where “Basic Training for Adobe CS4 Production Premium”, a great new training disc from Class on Demand, comes in, and is going to help you decide if this is really what you want to do. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.
Interview - Boris Yamnitsky, President, BorisFX
Anyone who reads my articles knows that I like plug-ins. Let me rephrase that. I LOVE plug-ins, as they make my day to day editing life so much easier. One of the premiere plug-in designers in the business today is BorisFX, and I had a chance to ask their president Boris Yamnitsky some questions about their current products, and what we can expect from this plug-in giant in 2009.
REVIEW -BCC6 for Adobe's After Effects
As an editor and motion graphic artist, I love plug-ins, and every once in a while (sometimes a long while) a plug-in pack comes along that either pushes the bounds of what we know a program can do, or it takes an existing idea and improves on it. Boris Continuum Complete 6 AE has done both of those. Let's find out how they have done it, and why you are going to want to either upgrade, or get this pack to add to your collection.
REVIEW - Digital Juice Fonts Collection One
After looking at the Compositor’s Toolkit, I am a big fan of Digital Juice, and needless to say when they asked me if I wanted to take a look at their newest product, Digital Juice Fonts Collection One (DJF), I jumped at the chance. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this new product, as I really hadn’t heard anything about it, but I love surprises, so let’s see what Digital Juice has offered us this time!
REVIEW - Episode Pro from Telestream
For editors who purchase editing "bundles" like Final Cut Studio 2 or Adobe's Master Collection CS4, we normally have access to not only editing tools but a program like Compressor 3 or Adobe's Media Encoder CS4 that let us take files, and flip them over to other formats like MPEG2 for DVD, H264 for the web, Flash or even to other editing codecs (Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, DVCProHD, etc). So why would an editor, or web designer need a program like Episode Pro? Let's find out!
REVIEW - broadcastGems AEPro Series 2
These days, companies are making big bucks by creating loopable backgrounds, packaging them together, and selling them for a pretty good penny. The problem with them is that you end up seeing them start to pop up in shows all over the place. broadcastGEMs has decided to do things a little differently, and instead of creating, marketing an selling backgrounds, they are creating After Effects projects that you can take and use the way they are, or alter them to create something new and different. Let’s see if this is worth your money.
