Don't Just Use What's In the iBox...

As tempting as it may be, I would encourage all iTeachers to not stay inside the iBox. In other words, search out and BUY plug ins and other useful tools for iMovie, Final Cut, and all of your digital applications.

Today I stumbled across this gem called Magnet. They've just released a new version and MacInTouch made mention of it.

"eX-cinder's Magnet 1.5 provides advanced motion tracking for video compositing and special effects. With it, you can attach tracking probes to moving elements, create compositions linked to the probes, and then preview and render the result. It includes direct access to iPhoto and iMovie media, iSight support, and other features. This release includes many new compositions, better integration with Quartz Compositions, preview mode, improved mouse tools, faster incremental tracking, and motion smoothing. Magnet is $39.99 for Mac OS X 10.4 and up (Universal Binary)."

Yes, for the price of 10 fancy coffees, you can have some really cool effects. Be sure to check out the demo movie on the Magnet site.
