Autodesk Smoke comes to the Mac

Autodesk Smoke comes to the Mac

Autodesk has announced that it's ready to start
shipping Autodesk Smoke 2010 for Mac OS X
(http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=5561833&siteID=123112
), a software-only editorial finishing tool and
the first Autodesk finishing product designed to
run on the Mac.

Smoke software's proven editorial finishing tools
harness the 64-bit power of Snow Leopard to
provide an interactive, all-in-one finishing
experience, says Stig Gruman, Autodesk vice
president of digital entertainment. Autodesk
Smoke helped define editorial finishing by
combining the timeline workflow of a non-linear
editor with advanced visual effects tools, he
adds.

Customers have used Smoke to help shape such
television programs as "House," "NCIS," "CSI: NY"
and "Entourage" as well as popular Super Bowl
commercials, including Coke Zero "Mean Troy" and
Cash4Gold.com's "One Up." CCTV in China used
Smoke to help create its 2008 Beijing Olympics
packaging and promotions as well as for content
production during the Games. Autodesk Smoke 2010

sophisticated color correction, image
stabilization, precision tracking and keying, 2D
and 3D compositing, paint, rotoscoping, retouch
