Umm, just exploring what you guys are talking about. What is Razor Pro and why do people seem to be so adamant on connecting Elastic Reality to it? What is a "plug in". This is usually a hardware term but I gather you are referring to a software addition. Is it a DLL? Regards, Wolly

Basically, a 'plug-in' is a small program for other applications like Permeire that adds certain features. In our case a plug in for Razor or Premeire would allow access to ERI apps like TransJammer or ER itself. The Razor plugin snafu you might have heard is due to a misunderstanding between us and In:Sync but we a re working on getting things straightend out. Chris Edgin ERI tech

Wolly, Razor Pro is a non-linear video editing and assembly program. Clips created elsewhere are arranged and combined using various "filters" and "transitions". Each of these two kinds of image processing functions are examples of "plug-ins". The term "plug-in" describes any software module which can be added to an existing application simply by copying the appropriate file to the appropriate place. Plug-ins might come in the form of dlls but more often will come in the form of .exe's. People want us to publish the TransJammer Plug-In for Razor Pro because it will allow Razor Pro users to gain access to the hundreds of effects which TransJammer provides. Functioning as a plug-in means that the effects are provided within the context of the calling program making for a very seamlessly integrated suite. Jason ERI Dean of Students

Jason, thanks for the message. I am aware of Elastic Reality, what does Transjammer do? Regads, Wolly

Wolly, TransJammer is a transitional effects package containing 100 base effecrt (make that "effects") each of which have up to 8 variations. The effects are quite cool and on-par with the state-of-the-art. They are fully time and resolution independent and are anti-aliased. TransJammer is also of interest because it can be made to be a plug-in for Razor Pro and Adobe Premiere. And, owners of both Elastic Reality and TransJammer can use Elastic Reality to actually edit, modify and create their own TransJammer effects. Jason Personally Identifies with Dilbert's Boss
