Thanks for this tutorial. I had been wondering and attempting to do this since I first saw it on the Genarts page. You made that task a whole lot easier.

Awesome
by Ken Walton

Todd,

Thanks a ton for this Sapphire tutorial - it's going to prove extremely helpful in the future. One question though: is there a reason copying and pasting the tracking data keyframes to the effect elements is preferred (or necessary) rather than using an expression to link them?

Thanks again,

Ken

Thanks for posting!

Peter Wiggins looks at Sapphire Plug-ins from GenArts

Peter Wiggins takes a thorough look at the new Sapphire plug-ins from GenArts. One thing is for sure, you will have seen many examples in film and television already as Sapphire is used on a daily basis by large film effects and post production houses. Many compositors and editors swear by them, myself included! I've been using Sapphire with Shake for over a year now, and every job has used at least one plug-in. Now, they're available for Final Cut Pro, Combustion and After Effects.

Pure Mission: NAB 2018 Highlights for Video Creatives

Everyone who attended NAB this year was on a mission. A mission to create the best content, a mission to deliver content to the right audience, a mission to produce great films for device and theatre viewing. We'll start by discussing some of the best solutions for some of the creative people we know - shooters, production/post folks. And there was plenty of new products, new services, new features announced at the show to get a filmmakers motor running this year. And again SuperMeet was fun, insane and informative. Shoot it, produce it, store it. Then? Sell it. It's all good and getting better!

NAB 2018: Journey, Connections, and Life-Changing Takeaways

This is her inspiring story of what happened next.
