MOVIE EDITING SOFTWARE TURNS CHEAPER
Apple upgrades to Shake 4.1
Apple has launched the latest version of its video compositing software, Shake 4.1. Apple has also dropped the price of Shake from $2,999 to $499. The new software Shake 4.1 comes as an upgradation of Shake 4.
Kirk Paulsen, Apple's Senior Director Pro Applications Marketing said to Macworld, "We wanted to make Shake accessible to our 500,000 Final Cut Pro users out there. At $499 we have really priced Shake in the range of a plug-in for Final Cut Pro."
Shake is maily aimed at the video effects market, where professionals include visual effects in to their movies of television programmes. The main features of Shake include 3D multiplane compositing, 32-bit Keylight and Primatte keying. Shake also offers Optical Flow image processing, integration with Final Cut Pro 5 and a scripting language. The price cut brings a huge relief for visual effects designers, says experts.
Both PowerPCs and Intel-based Macs will run the new Universal Binary release. The new Shake 4.1 will deliver 3.5 times the performance on a 17-inch 2.16GHz MacBook Pro compared to a 17-inch 1.67GHz PowerBook G4, said Apple.
Those who are currently using Shake 4 now, can upgrade to the new version Shake 4.1 for a price of $49.
