MAXON CINEMA 4D R11.5 By Ko Maruyama
MAXON Computer released their newest version of CINEMA 4D, the 3D application that has quickly become the favorite of broadcast designers and animators. The name of the newest version, R 11.5 gives the illusion that the update is a minor upgrade from previous R11.2 version. However, the multitude of new features in R11.5 makes the upgrade feel like a integer release.

Final Cut Studio's Motion 4 By Kevin McAuliffe
Star Wars Episode 1 and Apple's new Final Cut Studio have something in common, and that is the hype. Final Cut Studio has been hyped for more than a year, and every time someone blogged about its release coming up, nothing happened. Well, mid-way through July, Apple snuck Final Cut Studio (not called 3, just Final Cut Studio) onto its website, and needless to say, the tidal wave began.

Apple Motion 2.0 By Dave Nagel
Now in its second generation (and second year), Apple's Motion 2 is not a tremendous advancement over the first release. Version 2.0 includes performance tweaks, new integration features and several additions in the areas of effects, particles and behaviors. Nothing too major there. But Motion is a fantastic tool for DVD authors who want to create motion menus and video editors who need to create their own graphics, as well as motion graphics pros who want to use it as a powerful complement to their current suite of tools.

Apple's Soundtrack Pro By Frank Moldstad
Soundtrack Pro is an audio postproduction triple threat. It's a robust environment for audio editing, analysis, and effects processing that offers seamless file exchange with Final Cut Pro and Apple's other professional applications. It's a powerful platform for loop-based arranging and mixing. And, it can be used as a standalone audio program for recording one mono or stereo track at a time.

Wondertouch Particle Emitters for Motion By Dave Nagel
If you haven't seen Wondertouch particles in action, well, then you just don't watch a lot of television. The company's ParticleIllusion software (previously Impulse Illusion) is in use practically everywhere you see things digitally blowing up, burning, spurting blood, billowing smoke or otherwise emitting things from the gory to the fantastic to the mundane. ParticleIllusion is the underlying system in DIscreet Combustion and was, very clearly, the "inspiration" for the particle system in Apple's own Motion software.

First Impressions: Apple Motion 2 By Dave Nagel
At this week's convention of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB 2005), Apple revealed its next-generation motion graphics tool--Motion 2.0. The new release, though not announced with a huge amount of fanfare or hype, is a major one, packing significant performance improvements, some powerful new features and even a cool, new workflow function that let's users "play" their animations with a MIDI keyboard. I had a chance to get up close with a pre-release version, and here's what I found.

Apple 30-Inch Cinema HD Display By Dave Nagel
Dear Santa: I'd like to speak seriously with you for a few moments, so let's dispense with the pleasantries and get straight to the point. California law requires you to roll over year-end merit points and apply them to the holder's Naughty/Nice account (1225K) for subsequent years. If you will examine your ledgers from 1968 to the present, you will notice that I have approximately 500 such accumulated points.* Taking into account amortization over 36 years, that translates roughly to the cost of an Apple 30-inch Cinema HD Display. Shall I expect delivery this Christmas? Please advise. From, David N.
