Automatic Duck NAB sales ends tomorrow too

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

auto-duck

CoreMelt aren’t the only plug-in creators with NAB specials that end May 1. Automatic Duck is running an NAB special until May 1 as well. Just enter the coupon code NAB2009 upon checkout and take $100 off of any plug-in or plug-in bundle. No you can’t get the $95 Media Copy application for free but you can get a plug-in amongst all of the Automatic Duck offerings that will let you move from one editing, audio or fx app to another. We use Pro Export FCP to move from Final Cut Pro to Quantel eQ for what I think is the best solution for finishing RED jobs from the native .R3D files. Only possible with Automatic Duck!

Coremelt intro pricing sale almost over

coremelt-upgrades

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the upgrade to the CoreMelt set of plug-ins for Final Cut Pro then head over to their website and check them out right now. They are currently having “special introductory pricing” on their new V2 version of their products. This is a big upgrade and you have until May 1 to get the special pricing.

I haven’t had a chance to review the new version yet but I got a good demo at NAB and I look forward to kicking the tires on the new product. Get ‘em now and save a few $$’s!

Great NAB 09 Video Coverage

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I was at NAB 09 and still didn’t get to see half of what I wanted to see. So as I’m looking for good video coverage on the Internet here is where I’m watching:

FreshDV

Studio Daily

Mac Video

MacBreak

If you have any other sites with good NAB 09 video coverage, please post a link in the comments below.

They did side by side with both Zeiss & Cooke lens. As expected at RED
event the RED lens was quite a bit more sharp at the edges.

This was RED lens 50mm projection test. Was quite crisp.

Lens is very heavy. Feels well constructed. The focus and iris ring
are very smooth. Wonder if it’ll fit on my HV20?

More a technology demonstration and not a shipping product but
interesting indeed. Of course a large part of a DaVinci system is
hardware ….
