RE:Vision Effects Releases RE:Match Multicam Color-Matching Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

RE:Vision Effects Releases RE:Match Multicam Color-Matching Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects - Streaming Media Producer:
RE:Vision Effects, acclaimed effects plug-in industry leader and makers of Academy Award winning software, announces the initial release of RE:Match for Adobe® After Effects® and Adobe® Premiere Pro®. RE:Match takes intuitive color and texture matching to a whole new level by addressing common problems on multicam and stereo shoots. RE:Match is a set of plug-ins to match one view of video or film to another so that it looks as if it was shot with the same camera and settings. RE:Match assumes that both image sequences are taken roughly at the same location but perhaps were not shot at the same time or from the same point-of-view.

Need for Speed

Need for Speed:

There’s a revolution in the After Effects world – a revolution of speed. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you caught that VideoCopilot and Red Giant released some ridiculously fast OpenGL powered Plug-ins that promise to change the future for AE users. Moving from the CPU to the GPU is clearly the wave of the future, and that future starts now. Just in case you missed it, I’m talking about VideoCopilot’s Element3D and Red Giant’s Trapcode Mir.
I should also point out that Mettle beat most everyone to the punch with ShapeshifterAE.

Baselight for Final Cut Pro is one of the most powerful legacy FCP grading plugins ever

Baselight for Final Cut Pro is one of the most powerful legacy FCP grading plugins ever:

At NAB 2011 FilmLight surprised most everyone with a preview of their Baseligh for Final Cut Prot plugin. It was surprising because I think many people expected them to release a lower cost, Mac-based version of their flagship Baselight color grading tool. Instead they showed a different strategy that looks to revolve around very powerful color grading plugins and interoperability with the full Baselight systems. The FCP plugin had been in beta for a while and was just released. For $995 Baselight for Final Cut Pro can be yours.
