So you've shot your footage using a Letus35 and now have some great DOF. How do you take the production value to the next level? I've been using an awesome product created by Andrew Kramer over at VideoCopilot.net

If you use Adobe After Effects for post, you really need to grab a copy of Film Magic Pro. It's an amazing product at even a better price.

FMP is much, much faster than the Magic Bullet Look suite as well which can really speed up your production times.

Anyway, I'm sure many of you have already heard about (or use) Film Magic Pro. If not, head over to VideoCopilot.net and check it out. You find all sorts of goodies over there in addition to FMP.

hey does anyone know of anything that i can get for final cut pro(the new model) that does the same thing, i have it but i havent downlaoded it yet cause my sister has it still, but if anyone has onything like this then that would be great, Thanks.

I don't personally know of anything like this collection for FCP but I'm sure there is something out there.

Thanks for the heads up DeGrey - after seeing this post I went to VideoCoPilot.com and spent a lot of time looking at their various training DVD's and After Effects plug-ins. I ended up ordering Film Magic Pro for After Effects CS3.

Another great resource that I would recommend is Stu Maschwitz's "The DV Rebel's Guide".

It also comes with a lot of extras for After Effects.

There is also a great chapter in the supplemental materials DVD that is all about your camera settings and using a 35mm adapter such as the Letus Extreme.

This is great reading for any filmmaker and I highly recommend it!

Color, which comes with the final cut studio, is absolutely awesome. whach some tutorials. it is far more advanced then film magic pro, which also means it requires more knowledge. It's arithmetic is based on the same as Shake and leading post-production programs...
