Ryan Graham of MicroFilmmaker magazine had this to say in his recent review of NewBlue Video Essentials:

As MicroFilmmaker Magazine’s resident expert on all things NewBlueFX, I was excited to crack into another plugin package from this excellent video software company. I’ve been consistently impressed with the ease-of-use of NewBlueFX’s plugins; they’ve all contained useful and interesting presets, along with easy to understand, adjustable parameters. Recently I’ve found myself going to their effects over other manufacturers’ more expensive ones, not necessarily because the quality is better, but just because they’re more enjoyable to use and make work seem like fun instead of a chore.

Thanks, Ryan!
