Digital Anarchy ToonIt! Beta for owners of ToonIt
Digital Anarchy ToonIt! was one of the products I tried to demo at NAB last year when I worked at the Apple Booth demoing FxPlug Plug-ins. Unfortunately, I won’t be at the Apple Booth this year because, sadly, Apple has pulled out of NAB. I’m hoping that they will change their mind and there is just some sort of negotiation going on. Apple would be sorely missed at NAB.
I digress… Digital Anarchy ToonIt is such a cool plug-in. It looks fabulous. The one big drawback is that the screen redraw and render times are painful. When I tried to demo it at the booth at NAB, it was very difficult. Apple liked to have something on screen moving at all times so when you’re rendering an 8 second clip for a half hour, it kills the mood. I ended up rendering a clip and playing the render. The Ducati footage from Apple paired with ToonIt was nothing short of knock-your-socks-off impressive.
Well, the long wait (and long render times) is over. Digital Anarchy finally have a multi-processor aware version of ToonIt available only to those of you who own it. To get it, please send your name, platform, host application(s), and serial number to beta@digitalanarchy.com. You MUST have already purchased it (the AE/FCP compatible version) to receive the beta. This will be a free update to owners of ToonIt.

- MultiSpace: Puts two inputs into true 3D space with global and independent XYZ translation & rotation. Planes can intersect too.
- iSight Live!: Get a live input on your timeline in Motion and FCP. Very handy for picking a color off a client’s brochure.
