A 20+ year veteran of the film and television world, Lance Bachelder’s recent credits include Steve Oedekerk’s CG comedy feature Barnyard: The Original Party Animals and the hit Nickelodeon series Back at the Barnyard where he served as Supervising Editor.

Racking focus is the practice of shifting the attention of a viewer of a film or video by changing the focus of the lens from a subject in the foreground to a subject in the background, or vice versa. It dates back to the time when cameras did not have reflex lenses so the operator would have to “rack focus” the camera by looking through the viewfinder, then sliding the camera over so that the shot would be in focus. NewBlue Video Essentials II features this technique in its aptly-named Rack Focus effect.

NewBlue Video Essentials II’s Rack Focus creates a faux depth of field by selectively blurring a portion of the image. This is great for creating a filmic depth of field, artificially controlling the center of attention, or even making a scene look like it was shot with miniatures.

How do I obtain the latest version of my NewBlueFX? All I find on your site are trial downloads.

Good news – you found the latest updates. In terms of underlying code, there is no difference between our trial and purchased products. When you make a purchase, your serial number unlocks the trial version. To update your products with the latest versions, visit our Download Page .

To I update my product, do I need to uninstall first and then reactivate?

No. The new version will simply install over the old. However, if you want to change the location of your installation, then you should uninstall first. The activation will not be affected, so there is no need to go through the reactivate, regardless of where the product is installed.

People love our trial versions because they can try our effects and transitions directly with their original video footage with no obligation. However, in the past, each trial version placed our logo as a watermark on the video. Although this watermark disappeared after activation, we received dozens of requests from NewBlueFX users asking for a time-activated trial version.

We listened and are pleased to announce improved trial version of NewBlueFX. Now, when you download and install any of our effects or transition collections, the software will give you a full 10 days of watermark-free video. So, go ahead and download from http://www.newbluefx.com/try.html and put some great effects and transitions in your flicks. For 10 days, the effects are on us.
