Via Scott Simmons The Editblog:
Are you going to NAB this year? Do you need a free pass to the show floor?
Yes Apple isn’t going to be there and neither is RED or Quantel … But Avid is, Adobe is, all of the other camera manufacturers are going to be there. Plus there’s a lot of other great small software developers that will be on the show floor so there’s going to be a lot to see. Plus the Final Cut Pro SuperMeet will be happening as well. You might can find a good deal on a flight if you try hard or fly Southwest and you can definitely find a good deal on a hotel. Get a pass to the show floor and get to Vegas. I looks like I’ll be there too and I am very excited. And I will not eat at any buffets this year.
To get your free pass that includes access to the exhibit floor and the opening keynote (a $150 value) go to http://nabshow.com/passport and enter this code: TP01.
If you’re NAB alumni, I’ve also received the code DM01 for a free Alumni Exhibits passport.
I wrote an article last year or the year before called The NAB Survival Guide. I’ll dig it up and repost it. I have a busy week planned once again, working between the Red Giant, Digieffects and Boris booths and even doing some book signings for my new book with Jeremy Hanke, Greenscreen Made Easy.
So, I ask again:
Plug-ins for $99 and under for After Effects/Premiere Pro & Final Cut Pro/Motion
I’m sure most of you are starting to feel the economic crunch, so we’ve put together a section for plug-ins that are $99 and under. These are useful plug-ins by well known plug-in developers like Red Giant, Trapcode, Digieffects, Noise Industries, Nattress and others.
If you’d like to take the plug-in for a test drive before you buy it, most of the plug-ins are available for download on our demos/trial page: http://www.toolfarm.com/demo/demo.php

Keying out bad footage
Click here to watch the tutorial.
Hey! Just wanted to say hallo. My name is Jerzy Drozda Jr, but you may also know me as Maltaannon. From this day forward I’ll be also posting at AEFreemart. Today I want to present you this brand new tutorial on a subject as old as digital post-production itself. You will learn how to work with poor quality footage to pull out a decent chroma key.
Please note that this tutorial uses Key Correct Pro – a set of plugins from Red Giant Software designed to help you with your everyday chroma keying.
I’d also like to point out that our host – Michele Yamazaki – is currently working on a book that focuses on keying in detail. Make sure to have an eye out for “GreenScreen Made Easy: Keying and Compositing Techniques for Indie Filmmakers”
I hope you will enjoy the tutorial.

Create Animated Titles with Trapcode in Final Cut Pro
Sean Safreed, co-founder of Red Giant Software, has a tutorial up at Studio Daily, Create Animated Titles with Trapcode in Final Cut Pro. It’s similar to the demo that Sean gave me to show at NAB at the Apple booth where I was demoing FxPlug Plug-ins. It’s purdy.
New Free Trapcode Tutorial from John Dickinson
John Dickinson shows you how to use Trapcode Starglow and Shine in Final Cut Pro. He shows you some tricks about managing presets in Final Cut Pro.
Learn more about Trapcode Starglow and Trapcode Shine in our Plug-in Finder. These are multi-installer plug-ins meaning that you get the AE, Premiere Pro, FCP, Motion and Avid installers and your serial number works in all of them. How cool is that!
