The principle aspects of Smoke are the user interface, designed to support a track-based editing workflow with standard editing conventions and Autodesk creative tools. The node-based compositor ConnectFX is located inside the timeline to allow creation of effects without leaving editorial. The tools cover finishing, true 3D compositing with Action, grading and colour matching with Colour Warper, the Master Keyer for chroma keying in one step, and stereo 3D editing and effects. MediaHub project media management contains functions that work natively with common formats, from ingest to editing, effects and archiving. Smoke runs on most Apple iMac and MacBook Pro systems using high-bandwidth Thunderbolt storage and IO. Tutorials are also available. www.autodesk.com |
