2013-04-29

BOSTON, MA, April 29, 2013 (Press-News.org) Noise Industries, developer of visual effects tools for the post-production and broadcast markets, today announced the availability of Dashwood Editor Essentials, a plugin for Final Cut Pro, Motion, Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. Dashwood Editor Essentials is a collection of plugins that automate routine tasks such as unsqueezing an image or converting LOG to REC709 without a LUT, saving editors a time and effort. "As a professional editor I have designed and saved many project templates for repetitive tasks over the years but I know how difficult it is to keep track of them and how frustrating it can be to 'reinvent the wheel' every time you start a new project on a new edit suite or a different NLE" says Tim Dashwood, founder of Dashwood Cinema Solutions. "Editor Essentials is my solution to this problem. By simply installing it on any Mac editing system, all editors using Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro or After Effects on that system can access its tools. I'm very excited to introduce this package to my editing peers at a price anyone can afford."

The FxFactory powered Dashwood Editor Essentials include the following 15 plugins:

Camera Gamma - Easily convert LOG to REC709 without a LUT or create custom presets. Presets are included for common Log to REC709 conversions for Arri Alexa, Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera, Canon C100/C300/C500, Sony Cinegamma4, S-Log and S-Log2.

Luma & RGBA Levels - Control input/output levels & shift gamma using the same parameters found in Photoshop. Individual channel controls are available for Red, Green, Blue and Alpha or adjustment of the overall Luma Levels. Histogram display is available in most hosts.

White Balance - Shift white balance warmer or cooler in degrees Kelvin or compensate for green/magenta light sources. The plugin also includes presets for common Wratten colour correction filters like 80A, 81A & 85.

4x3 to 16x9 - Manipulate 4x3 aspect ratio footage for presentation in widescreen formats. Scale and crop footage or utilize the special "non-linear stretch" mode for interviews to maintain vertical resolution and roundness on the subject while stretching non-essential areas.
