To all those attending Autodesk University: This is an invite to those animators attending Autodesk University to come and check out RAZOR PRO, the animation compositor and post production software for editing animations and audio. RAZOR PRO is a software package designed specfically for the PAR which enables you to combine series of animations together and combine them with full CD quality audio for realtime playback and output to a betacam deck. RAZOR PRO directly supports the ANI format and using a special upgrade chip allows you to pull images off the PAR and process them in lightning speed. RAZOR PRO comes with a number of transitions and effects but also allows you to create customised wipe transitions by using simple drag and click interface to specify the direction and angle of a wipe over time. It comes with transitions which use alpha masks to create organic looking transitions as well as cross fades/luminance fades etc. The effects allow you to alter the animations in a variety of ways from simple colorization/tint/brightness/contrast type effects to more complex glass/emboss/displacement effects. In addition RAZOR PRO accepts Kai's Power tools as plug-ins as well as Aldus Gallery Effects and other third party plug ins. In the next couple of months additional plug-ins will be available from other third party developers including Elastic Reality. Stop by the DPS booth. I look forward to meeting you at the show.
