Vendors to Visit in Vegas: Automatic Duck The NAB offers interface time with Wes By Ko Maruyama Every year, broadcasters of all kinds gather in Las Vegas to see the new gear offered by the vendors who support the creation and transmission of what you watch and listen to. This year, Wes Plate from Automatic Duck will show off some of the latest edit list conversion tools.

I've been meaning to upgrade my workhorse After Effects machine to the latest Automatic Duck because the latest importer makes the Adobe software much more efficient when partnered with Apple's Final Cut Pro.  I don't use Final Cut Pro, but when my editor sends me a "duck'd" project, Adobe After Effects has no problem opening the XML.

What's nice about Automatic Duck is that you can get files in and out of Avid, FCP and Pro Tools.  You can also get projects into After Effects, Quantel or AutoDesk's Combustion software.






Wes is going to be in the Plugin Pavilion showing off the new features of the latest version of Automatic Duck -  and if we're lucky, he'll have a nice comfy couch to lounge on as well.

If you're a user of Avid, Final Cut Pro, Quantel, Pro Tools, Motion, Combustion, or AE, you'll definitely want to stop by his booth to see how you can get even more pipeline productivity out of your host.  You'll find Wes in booth SL2128F as part of the Plugin Pavilion, conveniently near Quantel, Autodesk and Adobe.

Content Insider #148 - The iGen
 NO...Doesn't have a thing to do with "that" smartphone...or "that" store...or "that" tablet. It's the next generation. Kids and we mean little kids. That's what today's products are being designed for/targeted at. You happen to buy one...fine. Watch a little, little kid pick up a smartphone. He/she just uses it. They've come pre-wired and we're still trying to figure out how to IM. It's the IGen. They want it instantly. They want to use it instantly. They expect their photos, their video, their music, their stuff immediately when/where/how they want it. Read More

Insider #149 - Game Demographics
 The blood, gore, adrenalin challenges that were unveiled at E3 and enjoyed at ComicCon are fun to look at, easy to hold but are they really the games people want to plunk down their credit cards to own or rent time with? Seems as though the investors, the players who control the controllers have a different idea of a "good" game than the kids who develop them. While mobs of people play educational, informational, stimulating games our kid huddles in his room and mumbles "The Few, The Proud, The Gamers." Read More
