…Hello. Anybody there? The stage lights are so bright, I can’t see you. Ahem. Thanks for showing up.
My name is Pauli Ojala, and I’m the guy in charge of a small company called Lacquer specialising in visual effects software. Our first product is Conduit, a plug-in that provides a node-based compositing environment directly inside Apple’s Final Cut Pro editing software. In addition to being convenient and affordable, Conduit is also fully GPU accelerated so it’s pretty much the fastest compositor you can find. (Don’t take my word for it — download the trial from our publishing partner dvGarage’s site and see for yourself.)
In this blog, I’d like to present some cool Conduit features and tricks. Some of the upcoming tips may already be familiar to you if you’re a member of Pixel Corps, as they have been posted in the Conduit forum there.
I’m going to provide .conduit files whenever possible, so you can try these ideas in your own projects without having to rebuild them from scratch. After all, easy reuse of effects (”build once, use forever”) is one of the major reasons why node-based compositing is so cool… But I hope to be able to show you a couple of other reasons too.
