Input requested
Posted by Dan Sherman on August 8, 2005 at 11:40 pmThinking of purchasing Pixelan SpiceMASTER.
Or is Ultimate S a better bang for the buck?
Thanks in advance for input.Janet Turner replied 20 years, 12 months ago 3 Members · 4 Replies -

August 9, 2005 at 12:17 amThey are two different tools. Spicemaster basically gives you an open ended range of transitions based on greyscale gradients, with control to soften and add edges, textures, colours etc.
UltimateS contains lots of script routines to drastically shorten the time needed to perform some functions, plus some lower thirds and other backgrounds, apply film effects, etc.
Excalibur is a similar tool, combining a huge range of functions.
Have a look at the list of what they contain, and decide which you want most.

Use it all the time.
Thanks.
SpiceMASTER could add some sophistication,—some production value? -

I have both Spicemaster and Ultimate S. As Peter said, they are two totally different products. Spicemaster is awesome for transistions and special effects. In my opinion, Ultimate S is a tool to shorten your editing time. Both are of great value to me.
