About ToonIt
Red Giant ToonIt uses unique algorithms developed by Toonamation to transform images into beautiful cartoon shading and lines. Users can give video footage that sought-after cartoon look easily and quickly. The four plug-ins free users from time-consuming techniques like rotoscoping and hand painting, and give precise control over styles, shading and outlines. Now it is easy to quickly convert video into a stylized animation with great default settings.
About Magic Bullet Looks
Desert sunrise, Arctic tundra, nighttime urban streets: the look of footage defines the mood. With Magic Bullet Looks, users can define the style of their video or film, regardless of on-set conditions, with powerful imaging tools. Hundreds of presets are available to help set the mood for everything from a wedding to the next Sundance original. Magic Bullet Looks also includes the standalone Magic Bullet LooksBuilder, for pre-visualizing looks on set or anywhere. Portable presets load into any editing hosts, so the same Looks you create on set are the ones you finish with in the editorial suite: no need for an expensive finishing system.
About Magic Bullet Instant HD
Instant HD up-converts DV video into a variety of HD video formats. Users can choose from a list of preset resolutions to easily integrate DV video into a High Definition production. When scaling from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD), Instant HD's algorithms generate the missing pixels with integrated sharpening and anti-aliasing for sharp, clear results inside your favorite video application.
About the AG-DVX100B
The AG-DVX100B debuts as the industry's first DV camera-recorder to allow camera-to-camera time-code synchro and user-settable file transfer. This allows the AG-DVX100B to be used for simultaneous multi-camera recording techniques often used in video production. In addition to superior image quality, high sensitivity, 24P/30P Cinema mode and manual operation, it has the specifications needed for full-fledged professional video production.
