TV Show Intro / Promo Using After Effects CS6 and Cinema 4D – Part 2
In this tutorial we take a look at creating a show intro/promo using both After Effects CS6 and C4D. Using the 3D Camera Track in After Effects, we track our footage and send the camera data over to C4D for text design and rendering. Then in part 2 we take a look at compositing the final scene in After Effects.
Thanks to John Gumaer for the sound design for the Retooled and Promo intros.

Adobe Anywhere and What it Shows Us
Well the news from IBC has started to roll out, and the first thing that I’ve seen that has really shown promise of being a game changer: Adobe Anywhere. The premise is fairly simple, you have a server computer that hosts your media. You log into your Adobe Anywhere account and instantly you have access to your material on your server computer or any storage that it is attached to. The media can be in the next room or thousands of miles away, and in theory, it doesn’t matter. You can work with full resolution HD material, wherever and whenever you please. The amazing thing is that you can access all of this media from Adobe’s big three video apps, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Prelude.

After Effects CS6 – 3D Extrusions and Raytracing!
This is perhaps the biggest new After Effects CS6 feature, and yet, we haven’t made a tutorial for it. Why you may ask? Well, being busy making all of these other tutorials, it was very hard to spend the time to cover the in depth new 3D features found in After Effects CS6. Another factor in this decision was that all of our systems are Mac based. Not to say that the new feature is not compatible with Macs, that is not the case at all. However, it does rely heavily on NVIDIA CUDA technology, which most Macs are no longer sold with (hopefully this will change soon). Again, to clarify, that doesn’t mean you can’t use it on a Mac or PC system without an NVIDIA card, but it is quite slow to work with to say the least.
