Serious Specials from Serious Magic
Serious Magic makes some of the coolest software utilities around for the digital videographer. DV Rack is the amazing new software that helps anyone shoot high-quality video. Shoot with it once and you'll be convinced there's no better way to prevent video disasters, shoot faster and get visibly better quality from your camera. DV Rack turns your Laptop into a video production suite, complete with the ability to digitize your footage directly to your laptop so you don’t have to lose time capturing it later. At $279.95, after $200 mail in rebate, DV Rack is a MUST HAVE utility for all digital videographers who own a laptop.
Visual Communicator was the first amazing product from Serious Magic. It gives you everything you need to quickly and easily create professional looking newscasts. It packs a teleprompter, green screen keying, animated backgrounds and titling into an incredibly easy to use package. Visual Communicator Studio is simply the most powerful and flexible version of this award-winning product line. It adds ground-breaking new capabilities, such as live streaming, multiple camera support, video-integrated web pages, and much more – all without sacrificing the ease-of-use and speed that has made Visual Communicator indispensable for corporate, educational, training and professional video creation. At $489.95 after the 25% off instant rebate, it’s our November deal of the month!
Ultra is a professional level chroma-keying utility that includes 3D virtual sets for you to place your talent in. The quality of the Ultra keyer is nothing short of spectacular. It doesn’t just use a key-color, it samples the entire background key for shadows, creases, cracks and other defects. As a result, Ultra provides the cleanest DV chromakey you’ll ever see. The new Training DVD produced by Serious Magic will give you the expertise to fully utilize the power of their software and the virtual sets to create stunning videos.
