One of the first major product announcements at this years NAB show was the unveiling of a radically updated Autodesk Smoke application. \u00a0Significant feature additions and a HUGE price drop, open this high-end post app to a new market of users.<\/h2>\n

Leading up to NAB, Autodesk has been baiting users with the media tagline “Autodesk Smoke is changing. \u00a0Everything.” \u00a0 So to kick off this week’s NAB show, Autodesk announced that a new version of Smoke would be available for a 1\/3 of the cost of previous versions with significant feature additions<\/strong>. \u00a0Priced at\u00a0$3,495,\u00a0Smoke 2013<\/strong> aims to be an “all-in-one video editing and effects tool” geared toward the Mac user. \u00a0No doubt, Autodesk is attempting to hook the Final Cut Pro and AVID editor with a workflow and interface they will find more familiar.<\/p>\n

\"Autodesk<\/p>\n

Features in Smoke 2013 include:<\/h3>\n

Updated interface:<\/strong> A more intuitive track-based interface<\/strong> for creating edits.<\/p>\n

ConnectFX: \u00a0<\/strong>Injects node-based compositing<\/strong> into the editing process.\u00a0 No need to move to a different interface, ConnectFX lets you add effects nodes effects in the editorial environment.<\/p>\n

Creative Tools:\u00a0<\/strong> Everything you need for detailed finishing, including tools for compositing, color grading and matching, chroma keying and working in stereoscopic 3D.<\/p>\n

MediaHub:<\/strong> A project management platform<\/strong> that facilitates the ingesting, archiving and organization of different files and formats.\u00a0 Native media support for RED, ARRIRAW, DNxHD and ProRes<\/p>\n

Conform:<\/strong> Bring your Final Cut Pro, Avid and Premiere timelines into Smoke 2013.<\/p>\n

Smoke 2013<\/strong> is also significantly more lightweight than previous versions, optimized for running smoothly on recent iMacs and Mac Pros.\u00a0 Pair Smoke 2013<\/strong> with a new Thunderbolt enabled external storage device and take advantage of the fast data transfer speeds (ideal for working with high resolution footage).<\/p>\n

\"Autodesk<\/p>\n

The Times, They are A\u2019Changing<\/h3>\n

Autodesk is following the trend of high-end post-production tools being made affordable<\/strong> for a wider user base (see AVID, Resolve as recent-memory examples). Application makers are pricing their products for sales volume, not a dedicated high-end client base.\u00a0 Until now, Smoke\u2019s previous $15,000 price tag was out of reach for many independent post-production pros, so you can bet Autodesk will be adding a substantial new user base when Smoke 2013<\/strong> is released later this year.<\/p>\n
