This is an exciting time for video editors. We’re having to say goodbye to our beloved Final Cut Pro 7, but new contenders are entering the video editing app market to take it’s place. Many former editors may be migrating to Avid or Adobe’s Premiere Pro CS6…but a radical redesign of Autodesk’s Smoke now seems like a very attractive replacement as well.
Autodesk announced a radically updated Smoke application at this year’s NAB show, specifically geared torward the video editor (not just the compositer or visual effects artist). What makes Autodesk Smoke 2013 even more attractive is a drastically reduced price point – $3,495, as opposed to the $15k+ price tag of previous versions. More details on the launch and Smoke 2013 product specs here.
Although a full commercial version is not expected until later in 2012, a Smoke 2013 pre-release trial should be available sometime in June. Sign up to be on the product trial list here.
