Apple Releases Shake 4.1
Industry Leading Compositing Software Price Cut to $499
CUPERTINO, CaliforniaJune 20, 2006Apple today delivered Shake 4.1,
the first Universal version of its industry leading compositing
software and cut its price from $2,999 to $499 to fit almost any
productions budget. Final Cut Studio editors can now take advantage
of Shake for sophisticated 3D compositing, keying, image tracking
and stabilization for the price of a plug-in. Shake continues to be
the tool of choice for major motion-picture studios and leading
effects houses to create award-winning visual effects including
this year's Oscar winner, King Kong.
At just $499, Shake is now priced as low as a plug-in for Final Cut
Studio, said Rob Schoeben, Apples vice president of Applications
Product
Marketing. Now Final Cut Studio customers can retouch their
shots with Shakes optical flow technology or add photo realistic
visual effects to their productions, even on a shoestring budget.
Laptop Battery Shake has become an essential tool at ILM for visual effects
compositing, playing a central part in our pipeline on blockbuster
movies such as Mission Impossible 3, Poseidon and the upcoming
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest, said Cliff Plumer, chief
technology officer of Industrial Light and Magic. By pricing Shake
at less than $500, Apple has opened up the doors for the next
generation of artists to master their craft.

Thinkpad Shake 4.1 complements Final Cut Studio by providing a full range
of operations from simple re-touching to complex 3D compositing.
Launched directly from the Final Cut Pro timeline, Shake uses
state-of-the-art optical flow image analysis to re-time, track and
stabilize shots with precision. Particle effects from Motion 2 can
be dropped directly into the Shake process tree to add elements
such as smoke, sparkles and fire to sophisticated multi-plane 3D
composites. High resolution work can flow from Motion to Shake by
rendering with the shared OpenEXR format for pristine film quality
reproduction.
Apple' 1990s release of the iMac forever broke the tyranny of beige when it came to computer cases and put the idea of personalizing a computer into many, dare we say "envious, " PC hobbyists who were already building their own machines. While the vast majority of personal computers continue to be housed within dull, boring, beige cases, the last remaining archetype from the Jurassic days of the first IBM PCs (some twenty years ago) may be on the way out.
Microsoft Shake 4.1 delivers significant performance gains on the new
Intel-based Macs providing artists and editors with desktop level
experience on the new MacBook Pro* notebook computer. Performance
tests on a MacBook Pro have shown that common tasks such as color
correction, warping and the application of filters are processed up
to 3.5 times faster on a MacBook Pro than on a PowerBook G4.
Artists and editors can start compositing with HD, 2K and even 4K
shots directly on location making Shake 4.1 on a MacBook Pro an
ideal tool for continuity.
