Editing HD on Premiere
CineForm Aspect HD makes it happen, even on a notebook
by Charlie White
Now you can actually edit HD footage on a notebook. CineForm is shipping editing software, Aspect HD, that runs underneath an ordinary copy of Adobe Premiere 6.5. Using shots from the new HDV camcorder from JVC, I was able to capture compressed HD clips from a DVHS machine onto a notebook from 1Beyond, edit it in real time, and then place the edited sequence back onto HD tape. Even though the workflow was slightly awkward, the experience was thrilling and gave me a sneak peek at what's to come in the world of real time HD editing… for the rest of us.

Without the Sun, what kind of lesson can we have? Put away those negative thoughts, because this is the perfect opportunity to discuss Negative Lights.

by Ko Maruyama
If you've ever introduced a lens flare into your After Effects or Photoshop composition, chances are that you've used Knoll's Light Factory. By no means a new filter, Knoll Light Factory has remained the most widely used option for lens flares. But did you know that with After Effects' built-in expression tools, you can build up elements without heavy keyframe management? Well, you can.
