Yes, you read that right...the legendary da Vinci colorgrading technology is now the property of Blackmagic Design. In four parts of various chapters of the story, the COW Team has brought together talks with members of the Blackmagic team, users of da Vinci Systems tools, COW leaders, and others to explore the story from a wide vantage point.

The BCC Optical Stabilizer filter enables you to stabilize shaky video footage. The filter uses optical flow technology to determine the movement of the camera and then adjusts the clip's position to compensate. Depending upon filter parameter settings, the motion in the clip will either be smoothed or completely locked down. Unlike many other image stabilization tools, the BCC Optical Stabilizer does not require you to set user-defined tracking points. This is useful for images where tracking data is unreliable.

Creative COW Magazine feedback
One project took four years, and included unprecedented interactivity, Java-enabled delivery of new material to network-connected Blu-ray players, and auto updating interfaces. This is not a problem solved by a $1000 software suite.
