So just as we started selling Sorenson, Creative Cow post the most wonderful review of Squeeze 6. You'd have thought someone paid them except everyone seems to love Squeeze 6. Jerry Hofmann at the Creative Cow:

"The most dramatic upgrade for Squeeze in Sorenson Media’s history has happened. It’s Squeeze 6. Being a user and fan of the software, Squeeze 6 is the best vers...

After Effects Newbie resources

AV3 Software & Plug-in's Team — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:27:52 GMT

Excellent post from Todd Kopriva on Getting Started with After Effects

I see evidence that a lot of people just dive into the deep end with After Effects (and other creative software).

AV3 Software & Plug-in's Team — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:04:24 GMT

So Trapcode Particular from Red Giant Software has become the most popular software plug-in for After Effects ever. Most recently winning the Toolfarm 2009 Plug-in of the year award, what is it that makes this product stand head and shoulders above the rest? Let’s have a look!

Adobe does Avatar

AV3 Software & Plug-in's Team — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:03:30 GMT

Avatar - amazing ah? If the answer is 'yes', you might well want to take a look at the short video on Adobe's website on the making of Avatar - obviously using an Adobe workflow... Creative Suite 4 does the business.

LightBox 3 Beta

AV3 Software & Plug-in's Team — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:54:27 GMT

Just been having a play with the Adobe Lightbox 3 Beta - looks like a excellent step in the right direction for Adobe.

Anyone working with photographs should get a copy and have a play, especially if you have used previous version!

Importing was an absolute doddle - just got Lightbox to review the harddrive and it imports them.

Using the Develop functionality gives you a range of options for changing the exposure, colour, tone, sharpness etc and is veru simple and i...
