Trapcode Sound Keys

By using Trapcode Sound Keys plug-in for After Effects, you can separate 3 frequency ranges from a single audio track. In this example, each effect is linked to the Bass, Mids, and Highs which allows perfect effect/audio synch.

C4D 11 New Global Illumination Setting

In CINEMA 4D Release 11 the Global Illumination provides a more accurate representation of scene lighting by taking into account light which bounces between objects. Here are my quick tests to show the lush render it provides:

Keylight, Green Screen, Godzilla!

My favorite keying plug-in for After Effects is Keylight (1.2)
Note: Keylight is not automatically installed. It is included in the third-party software option on the install disk for FREE.
