Create a Broadcast Show Opener with Boris RED 4.1

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Vivek "Vik" Narayan, Investigative and Special Projects Editor for KNXV/ABC 15, was asked to create a 15-to-20 second open for the live broadcast of The City of Phoenix's annual July 4th celebration, dubbed "Fabulous Phoenix 4th". The festivities included a rock concert and culminated in a fireworks spectacular. Vik had to figure out a way to feature all the sponsor logos in the open. His plan was to combine regal patriotism and explosive fun in a 3D arena.

Boris RED 4.1 called "Absolute Buy!" on Creative Mac

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Here is an excerpt from the review:

"I have to admit, I went into looking at Boris RED a little skeptical, and walked away almost speechless. RED is an excellent product that every editor should have to complement Motion 3. With Motion's new 3D capabilities, and the effects and graphical WOW of Boris RED, any editor with Final Cut Studio will be able to put a smile on even the most particular client's face. "

Boris Red 4.1 Garners DV Award of Excellence

Monday, March 19, 2007

Here are some excerpts from the review:

"The ability to use motion tracking to guide the clone tool practically automates certain rotoscoping functions. In addition, the new paint tool (when used along with lighting effects) can create effects similar to the animated glowing lines often seen flowing through commercials and music videos. Each paint track generates a separate subtrack for each new color, clone, spray, or roller paint stroke. This gives you plenty of design options by providing control of the start and ending time of individual strokes within a single paint track. You even can simulate 3D ribbon effects with the roller. With Red 4.1's path tools, it's easy to create a true animated 3D ribbon that actually follows a path."

"Anyone working with interlaced footage will really appreciate the Degrain and Deinterlace filters. I could apply them with ease and found them both to be effective and fast. The Degrain and Deinterlace filters contain a number of useful parameters that allow easy tweaking to get professional results."

"The new enhancements, especially the added filters and improved interface, make Boris Red 4.1 worth the upgrade."
