I have a FAST Video Machine for video editing. However, it does not have any 3D effects. I also have 3DS. I am looking for something to do editing effects such as page turns and multiple picture in picture among other things. I would like any ones thoughts on using 3DS, Premier or Razor PRO. VM can export and impurt TGA files and I will have to export single frames to process them in any of the above mentioned products. Any comments would be welcome. P. S. Is there another product that I don't know about that could do this better, faster etc?

>s there another product that I don't know about that could do this better, faster etc?< The Abekus series, a bit out of your league (?) $60-120K. Real time 3-d. The next cheapest way I known off is start creating reference template files in 3DSr4. Use the DPS PAR & TBC4, capture all of them, use Pyros's Action PAR IPAS stuff. Render them out. You do get geniune 3-d fx. I done this a lot and it's comparable to the hi-end system, albeit taking longer. Sorry, but Premiere 4.0 nor Razor Pro can handle decent looking 3-d transitions. Page Turn in Prmr 4.0 is still 2-d looking. It's more efficient for 2-d & 2 1/2 d stuffs. I prefer Premiere 4 over other since it simply have more needed features. Razor Pro only big advantage is the PAR's ANI compatibility stuffs.
