Autodesk has announced that a free pre-release trial of Autodesk Smoke 2013, the video-editing and effects software for the Mac, is now available for download over on its website. Smoke can help editors simplify workflow, centrally manage media, work interactively with high-res media throughout projects and deliver high-end content on the most recent generation of Apple iMac and MacBook Pro systems.
Key features include the intuitive Smoke UI, which combines track-based editorial, industry-standard editing conventions and Autodesk’s proven creative tools. Smoke features a robust toolset with high-end finishing tools, Action for true 3D compositing, the Colour Warper for professional grading and colour matching, the Master Keyer for one-clock chroma keying and stereoscopic 3D editing and effects, and ConnectFX for powerful node-based compositing inside the timeline for high-end effects and advanced compositing, all without leaving the editorial environment.
Autodesk anticipates the full version of Smoke 2013 will launch September this year for $3,495 per licence.
