Pro Import AE is used to import sequences into After Effects. It would be overkill if you just had a single clip to send from FCP to AE. Drag the clip from the timeline to your bin, that creates a ... | | | | |

AAF and MXF: What Is It, Who Has It and Why You Want It
Many products that media professionals now use have AAF or will have it in the near future. Some don't have it and some companies have no plans to add it to their product offerings. Why is Advanced Authoring Format important to media pros? Who has it? What tools use it and what does it bring to you and your studio's capabilities? Advanced Authoring Format and/or Media Exchange Format are project interchange formats that are creating the framework by which media professionals will work more collaboratively and productively in the days ahead. It's time for us to contact our manufacturers and providers and let them know why AAF is important to us and why we'll buy it if they add it. In this report, Marisu Fronc looks at the technology and the companies supporting it and why...

EDL, a tutorial from Dennis Kutchera
There are more modern ways of exchanging edit information such as OMF and AAF, but not everyone is going to have this. Media 100 now has OMF export as an extra option in version 8 and Final Cut Pro is supported through an OMF export plug in from Automatic Duck. But the old EDL text file is still with us. If you must use an EDL, you are going to be in for some frustration if you do not follow these procedures that Dennis Kutchera shares with us.

NAB 2001 -- An Editor's Report
Dennis Kutchera looks at NAB 2001 and draws the conclusion that while there was no big single 'wow factor' for him, there was plenty at the show that could keep an award-winning editor occupied. The sizzle and the almost used car salemanship of the show may be waning, but in its place is a robust industry with many great choices and a lot of great hardware and software to chose from.

Using Magic Bullet and Anamorphic in your DV project
For the past two years, Steven Galvano has been on a ''making video look like film'' quest. At first he'd come to the conclusion that if he wanted his projects to look like film, he'd have to shoot film. But recently, Steven's opinion has changed. Now, he believes that the science of cinematic video will be exacted in the near future and will be available to the average video producer.

Marco Solorio reviews: Synthetic Aperture's Color Finesse v1.0.4
Don't have the hundreds of thousands of dollars for a DaVinci color-correction system? But you do have After Effects? In a jaw-dropping review of Synthetic Aperture's 'Color Finesse,' Marco Solorio shows how Color Finesse far surpasses the capabilities of standard color correction tools -- as well as the error-prone realities of using standard color correction plug-ins. The differences are shocking! Note: this is NOT an article on how to color correct (although some of the principles are explored in the article and there is much to be learned here).
