Explains Lance,
“We use NewBlueFX to make movies more interesting. These plugins bring originality to our production that is different from other plugins. When we use industry standard plugins, people have already seen the effects, but with NewBlueFX, we get a cool and fresh look.”
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.
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.

Sometimes, you may find yourself looking at an awkward cut between two scenes. There isn’t enough going on in the two shots to explain why we are going from one to the next, yet the progression is necessary for building the story.
For example, we are cutting between a car traveling
