David, heres some info I think will help you out.
There have been several discussions recently regarding the lack of good transitions for PrP. As a working editor I need a variety of tools just in case that marketing video or music video needs a different kind of transition just to spice things up. The Avid DS excelled at this by using a node structure to allow you to mix and match every filter in the box to create something unique and different when that need arose (i.e. clients asking for it).
I spent my share of Google time researching this and all I found was limited and weak (in the sense of programming controls).
Well, last Friday I stumbled upon a product that I prematurely dismissed many months ago. Boy was I wrong.
Boris Red will soon release Red 5 for Mac (64 bits). It does many things I dont need since After Effects is my go to motion graphics software. But it does one major thing that I see as an answer to the prayers of editors like me… it allows you to make customized transitions or to use their vast library and alter as needed. It has lots of things from Continuum as well as the AE library know as Final Effects complete. You can stack them, matte them,blend them as you choose.The degree of control rivals that of Sapphire and Avid DS. It renders fast and gives PrP editors more choices when they want it. It should be released soon. I now feel like I have what I need to make just about every client happy. I tend to do more commercial, marketing and corporate communication projects which tend to need a little more glitz then narratives or docs. I feel like I have discovered a real treasure. I neglected to add that Boris Red 5 is already out for the PC as a 64 bit plugin for PrP. The Mac version will be out in the near future. I think this is a positive thing for PrP and enhances what it can offer the vast variety of editors flocking to it these days .

While you are adding DOF to Invigorator, how about adding it to Proanimator as well 🙂

[Vladimir Talijan] “And just one thing, why the hell you want to import old finished project ever ?”
Another glaring example of the difference between Prosumer and Professional use of editing software. This person doesnt understand what goes on in a video production facility environment that has long standing relationships with clients. And the necessity to accommodate their clients numerous and varied needs. The demands this person puts on their NLE is much different then that of a higher end work environment.

If I were working on a short form that needed CC on every shot I would invest in the Magic Bullet Suite from Red Giant Software and use either Colorista 2 or Magic Bullet Looks in the PrP timeline. If there was a need for VFX then I would dynamic link to AE. But to keep things simple and streamlined, CC with the software I mentioned in PrP

I wonder if stabilizing 24 – 2 min. sub clips might work? The only challenge might be if this is one long camera take and you have no b roll to use as cutaways. Im not sure if the end of Clip 1 after stabilization will be a match frame as the beginning of Clip 2 after stabilization.
