Lynda - Smoke 2013 Essential Training
Autodesk Smoke for Mac is a powerful nonlinear editing (NLE) platform that provides editing, color correction, 3D animation and compositing, and motion graphics tools in a familiar timeline-based environment. The 2013 redesign put it up there with the other three big NLEs (Avid, Apple, and Adobe), making it a great choice for video editors looking for an alternative platform. Join Amy Leland, as she takes you through the entire Smoke workflow, from importing media to exporting and archiving your final project. Learn how to use the nonlinear and trim tools to create a rough edit, refine scenes with transitions and timeline effects, and color correct your footage. Amy will also show you how to composite effects (including 3D animation), add titles, and mix in your audio.
