Make special effects as good as Hollywood.

Post by Sharp »

Hi all.

Check this out.
Runs on Win 2000 and XP
For Mac users, it’s OS X

Possible the most exciting video FX software I have seen yet.

Hi.

I decided to take a chance and buy the program. I seriously can’t believe what this software can do. What a find, I’m absolutely blown away.

The free plug’ins are unbelievable.
I would highly recommended checking out this program.

Bye.

Thanks for the info, I have promised myself that one day I would enter into video editing on the computer. We have loads of camcorder tapes that are dying to be editied. I'm just downloading the movie file now 3 1/2 mins to go.

I have also been looking into capture cards recently, it would be nice (?) to put some of my songs to video too....

Cheers Simon

I would love to see some of your videos with your music Chordial. Sharp, we should expect something cool from you as well - that special effects program is right up your alley. I "hope" I'm going to do some of that this year too. There are some really nice videos at Belief.com. I love their experimental stuff. They have a series called "Darkness" (I think that is the name). There is one on there that has Arabic type on it that I just love. Fun stuff!!

I just made the stool at my Piano disappear.

Not bad considering it’s was all made from just two photos. I’m looking forward to trying this with actual video footage tomorrow. I should be able to get it all very realistic looking.

Hey, yeah, it's the next generation alright :)

I hope that with a decent sized hard drive and the right combination of software and capture hardware it'll be cool.

Photos soon too, been too long

Wow! Thanks for that link, Sharp! I just can't keep up with all the available software any more. Makes me crazy! :wink:

Guess I'll have to be getting that when the v3 comes out for OS X.

Hi Morbius.

You don’t have to wait for version 3 to come out. If you buy version 2, you get version 3 for free when it’s released.

That £20 upgrade option they talk about on the website is only for people who bought version 2 a year ago.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I love this program :-)

Bye.

I know this thread is a couple of years old. I've been following these guys, since they were Alam DV. They have continually added and upgraded their arsenal. Always been interested, so I finally purchased. I'll be using this stuff, very soon.

FYI, if you're looking at this, now - there is a 30% Christmas discount, until the end of January. Good enough reason for me. :D
