I love Macs, but this parody is very funny.

Over at Ripplecast you can watch a free tutorial on how to smoothen shaky pictures within Shake. Personally, I use iStabilize, which is amazingly simple to set up and use.
I’ve been away to Vienna for the last week, therefore I did not get to write anything.While doing a quick check on what has happened in the Apple world, I was exited to read that Apple has bought SiliconColor, makers of the most advanced colour correction software for the Mac. While Final Cut Pro’s built-in 3 way colour correction filter is very good on primary colour correction, you need a plethora of 3rd party tools to get a decent secondary colour correction done. Apple’s buy points into the direction of an upcoming improvement in the colour correction capabilities in FCP. Now I am very much looking forward to FCP 6.
Just got some news that Final Cut will get an update within the next 30 days. Among the improvements is support for a couple of more cameras, plus
- Scope and Monitors. Improved accuracy; scopes can now sample every video line. Scopes will also update in real-time during video playback.
- BWF compatibility
- Improved edit-to-tape accuracy for D5
- Compatibility with insert editing to audio channels 5-12 on decks
- Now compatible with some FxPlug filters
- Gamma control for imported graphics
- Media Manager is now more reliable
- EDL and Cinema Tools lists
- XML for developers
- Metadata preservation in QT files
Love the fact that the scopes will finally be reliable.
