Commotion Pro 4.0
Improvements and low price make this software a steal
by Stephen Schleicher

With the huge number of blockbuster movies set to hit the market during the coming holiday season, techno-geeks and movie buffs are sure to be talking about all of the special effects and how they were created. There are many packages that might initially spring to mind when talking about pulling off fancy film foolery, but one that's underrated is Commotion Pro 4.0 from Pinnacle Systems.

Stock Footage Resources
Stock and royalty free resources abound on the Internet
by John Virata

Stock footage and royalty free images are great ways to augment original content in your video projects as well as in interactive multimedia, DVD projects, print, PowerPoint and other presentations. The Internet is an excellent resource to search for content that fits your specific needs. Need a video of Old Glory waving proud? There is a company offers it, often in varying degrees of image quality and resolutions that are suitable for web, CD-ROM, and all the way up to broadcast quality.

Neutrik Test Instruments—Minilyzer ML1
by Eddie Ciletti

Have you been avoiding the plunge into the world of geek-dom? Neutrik has solved that problem once and for all by packing an arsenal of the most essential and powerful measurement tools into an affordable user-friendly package called the "Minilyzer." The "street" price at MCM $399. The ML1 is a handheld audio analyzer designed to be used at the moment an audio mystery appears — because we all know that when the technician shows up the problem will be gone.

Displays on Display
Plasma screens were in full force at InfoComm 2001
by David English

Considering the emphasis on projectors at InfoComm shows, you might think that monitors and other direct display systems would have to take a back seat. That certainly wasn’t true at this year’s InfoComm. Plasma screens were in full force on the show floor, as well as in hospitality suites, at dealer events and at press gatherings.

First Look
Wacom on OS X
Functionality to pressure-sensitive tablets
by David Nagel

I bought Mac OS X on the first day of its release, used it for a few weeks and then switched back to OS 9.0.4. There were several reasons for this, including slow performance and a lack of the functionality to which I've become accustomed. But the main reason was that I couldn't use my graphics tablet. After all, if you've been using a pressure-sensitive tablet, switching back to a mouse for creating art is like cutting off your drawing arm.
