 Apple
has updated its Shake video compositing application, adding support for
Intel Macs and slashing the price from more than £1,600 has been cut
from the price to £329. The industry leading 3D compositing software,
behind the effects of films such as Mission Imposisble 3 and The Lord
of the Rings trilogy is now within the price range of many more desktop
editors. However, Apple later told subscribers to the Shake email user
group that:
Apple will no longer be selling
maintenance for Shake and no further software updates are planned as we
begin work on the next generation of Shake compositing software. While
we're excited about the innovations we can bring in the future, we
understand you have a business to run today that requires Shake.
A
new product, codenamed 'Phenomonon' is rumoured to be in the works and
will be built from the ground up to use a Shake-like interface
with a core architecture closer to Apple's 2D compositing package,
Motion. More info from www.apple.com/uk/shake/
