Found Footage: NAB 2006 Final Cut Studio demo reel

As someone who's work is on the reel, I found it frustrating to not have the proper codec on my computer to view it!

But I did get a neat iPod for contributing!

C. =)

I suspect they used Shake for this video, especially the intro and ending, just like they did for 2004 and 2005's

It's H.264 at a resolution of 640 by 360, audio was stereo AAC. The data rate was 1232.17 kbits/sec, with 107.5 of that being for the audio. Frame rate was standard 24 fps.

Could someone with QuicktimePro save the movie and inspect it and tell me what settings it was encoded with? Bitrate, framerate, resolution, codec, and so forth?

I have a relatively slow computer (800Mhz iMac) and it played like a champ and looked great to boot!

The 2005 one can be found at http://live.watchmactv.com/?p=56.

Does anyone know where I can find the 2005 NAB showreel? It's the one with the song "Wonderful Life". #3, MacTV only has the 2006 and the 2004 ones.

Impressive, but it looks like there's a pretty heavy dose of products from Apple's competitors, too. Despite the tag at the end about great sound and visuals, you can bet a lot of the sound was edited on Pro Tools and there are plenty of visual effects in there that look like Adobe After Effects (among many other programs), not necessarily Apple Motion. Final Cut Studio is a fantastic product, but it's just one piece of a bigger puzzle. An NAB crowd will understand that, of course, and Apple has every right to brag -- but that's why you probably won't see this message sent to a larger audience, because it's a little more complex. It's not entirely clear which part of what you're seeing is "the power of Final Cut Studio," other than the powerful *people* who use it ("it" primarily meaning Final Cut Pro more often than things like Soundtrack or Motion).

The 2005 one was better. Look it up on there on MacTV, it's worth watching.

That rocks.
