The plug-in is directly integrated in the form of individual items in the Effects menu in After Effects.
It provides over 300 effects such as Ray, Blur, Glitter and Text-Fx for application as transitions or filters. Their timing can be controlled using After Effects key framing.
You can also call up VitaScene's own user interface with over 500 preset effects, giving you the full range of capabilities to fine tune the effects.
This makes the integration of VitaScene extremely efficient for the expert After Effects user. It is also the ideal solution for users who want complete parameter control plus the super quick interactive VitaScene preview.

This newsletter from proDAD will tell you all about free and impressive offers In January!

1) NEW!!! Free training videos for Heroglyph!
Just click the bottom link to visit the new free video tutorials.
Further training material is already being produced. Tell the author what tricks and gimmicks interest you particularly. Uwe Wenz is always pleased to receive your suggestions at training@prodad.de.

2) VitaScene V1, final version available at last!
We have received interesting requests from users since the VitaScene Pre-Release appeared in 11/2006. It has been possible for many of them to be taken on board with the final version.So it is no wonder that the number of effect-presets has now increased from the planned 400 to over 500!!We are very grateful for this extremely good contact with our customers and would like to say thank you!The selling price has not been increased. On the contrary: we are still offering you a further introductory discount of 20% until 15th of February 2007!

The initial responses in the press all clearly speak one language:Videofilmen 2/2007
"...Turbocharged effects...", "Simple handling, no lengthy familiarisation, quick to use, very high quality..."
Video Aktiv Digital 1/2007
"... high-quality and extremely elegant effects...", "... easy to use..."

c't magazin 1/2007"... The effects even impress filmmakers who are otherwise rather critical when faced with a flood of effects. The filters in particular give a film passage an attractive look without lengthy fiddling with the settings. It may well be that many of the VitaScene effects can also be achieved with expensive compositing software and laborious fine adjustments, but the time advantage and the elegant control are a good argument for the proDAD tool."

3) VitaScene V1 demo version also available!
The demo version is also available free of charge at www.prodad.com with immediate effect.Test the new generation of filters and create transitions with turbo effects!And don't miss out on the introductory discount (the bottom link directly shows the discount)!

We hope you will enjoy testing and would of course be pleased to hear from you if you are interested!
Yours sincerely

proDAD GmbH

1. Preliminary information VitaScene

Dear visitor of prodad.com,

The general redesign and reorganization of www.prodad.com has been completed.
Thus this web presentation provides collected information on proDAD related topics and shall be understood as a general product overview. Our information is no more splitted into several domains which means that the previous presentations such as adorage.de and heroglyph.de or 2thegoodnews.de have been closed.

The primary goal of this restructuring was a better overview about proDAD products and its variations.
Demoversions and downloads now are available clearly arranged and the online shop entry is more convenient.
Also available now: an integrated news and press section with newsletter option.

Furthermore this is the basis for the new FAQ and support center for overall products which will be released soon.
Alltogether with www.prodad.com we now have the basis for soon upcoming interesting product news.

In future please bookmark www.prodad.com as one and only resource for proDAD informations.

Enjoy the new information!
Thanks for your continuing interest!

With kind regards

The proDAD team
