Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) October 28, 2005 -- Silhouette FX, LLC is pleased to announce the availability of version 2.1 of Silhouette Roto, the roto system that's underpinning visual effects production at major post houses around the world. Workflow improvements found in Version 2.1 include native support for Apple QuickTime, LUT (Look Up Table) support for floating point images, improved tablet support, and true round-tripping of Cineon(R) files. Version 2.1 of Silhouette Roto also allows rotoscoping on half frame intervals providing field support.A major announcement is that the pricing of the plug-in version of Silhouette Roto, compatible with Adobe After Effects and Apple Final Cut Pro, has been significantly reduced from $495 (USD) to a very aggressive $295 (USD). Company partner Perry Kivolowitz said, "The stand-alone version of Silhouette Roto has already achieved a dominating position among major post houses. We are now taking aim at the plug-in market with the intent of achieving the same result." Aggressive pricing in the plug-in market also extends to the plug-in version of the brand-new Silhouette Paint which, requiring Silhouette Roto, will be priced at just $245 (USD) more.

Floating licenses are available at an additional cost of $200 (USD) per license for the stand-alone application and $100 (USD) for the plug-in version.As a stand-alone application for Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems, Silhouette Roto retails for $595 (USD).

Take the computer mouse for example. Everyone who uses a computer knows what a mouse is. They also know about printers, modems, CD and DVD drives, monitors, speakers, scanners and web cameras. Just about every computer out there has most, if not all of these devices attached because they are among the most commonly used peripherals.
So why hasn't the graphics tablet caught on in the same big way? Huh? What's a graphics tablet? See? That's exactly what I'm talking about.

From year to year these computer peripherals tend to get smaller and thinner in size with twice the power and benefits. Well, stay on the look out for more to come because I am certain that our current flat monitors have not reached their journey's end yet. An LCD (which stands for liquid crystal display, by the way) works much differently than your CRT, mostly because they don't project light, and therefore use much smaller units during display.Let's talk about the benefits of a flat monitor:1.)They produce less heat 2.)They use less electricity3.)Because they use digital signals, the display is sharper and clean4.)Speakers are generally included in the screen, so you don't have to...

6 Home Office Essentials
If you plan to work at home or start your own home-based business, your home office should have some basic equipment to help you project a professional image. The proper tools will also help you stay productive, eliminating emergency trips to the office supply store.
1. First of all, you will need a desk. Your desk should have enough room for your computer and enough surface space for any writing you may need to do.
If your computer desk isn't large enough, consider adding a table nearby. You will need pens, pencils, a stapler, paper clips, binders, computer paper, and a hole puncher for your desk. A small notebook for jotting down notes and reminders is also helpful.
