Flappies Hunter app: Kill the bird! Shoot those Flappies - Published on 04/02/14

Zyng LLC has announced the release of Flappies Hunter 60 version 1.0. No more pipes, no more flapping, the time has come to pop those Flappies. The Flappies Hunter is a shooting game with Retro Pixel flappy characters. Players have 60 seconds to bring down as many Flappies as they can. There are a limited number of bullets so players will have to choose the targets carefully. Maximum score is 150... none of us could make it. Can anybody get the perfect score?

San Diego, California - Zyng LLC has announced the release of Flappies(TM) Hunter 60 version 1.0 for IOS. No more pipes, no more flapping, the time has come to shoot those Flappies.

After the success of Flappy Bird, many apps appeared with similar mechanics to Mr. Nguyen's creation. Users are going crazy with these diabolic games. We wanted to do something different and we created a simple shooting game that targets the Flappies. Simple physics, but maybe as diabolic and addictive as Flappy bird. In our selection window players can choose which one of the Flappies they want to shoot. We have some fun characters like PunkyBird, FlashyFish and Juggling Ball. Retro pixel characters that we are sure players will enjoy shooting. We are asking players to send us requests with their favorite Flappies to target. We will expand the selection window as we receive requests.

Flappies Hunter 60 is a timed base shooting game. Players have 60 seconds to bring down as many Flappies as they can. This game requires some thinking, because there are a limited number of bullets. The players will have to choose the targets carefully at the same time that they keep an eye in the clock. Those that get to 50 points will be rewarded with extra bullets. Depending on how much time is left in the clock, players may enjoy a rapid shooting in the last few seconds to greatly increase their score.

The 150 points perfect score requires patience, very good reflexes and fast tapping. None of us could make it. Is there a player out there that can?

iShowU Studio 1.0 - New Major Screen Casting Solution from shinywhitebox

A new article has been published at prMac.

iShowU Studio 1.0 - New Major Screen Casting Solution from shinywhitebox - Published on 04/02/14

New Zealand-based shinywhitebox has released iShowU Studio 1.0, their newest major screen casting solution for OS X. Aimed at the consumer and beginner prosumer market, iShowU Studio focuses on providing easy post-recording editing and publishing of captured footage. iShowU Studio shares several of the same features of the popular iShowU HD and iShowU Pro, including ease-of-use, camera capture, keyboard/mouse compositing, and upload services to YouTube and Vimeo.

Wellington, New Zealand - shinywhitebox has announced the release of iShowU Studio 1.0, their newest major screen casting solution for OS X. Specifically geared towards the consumer and beginner prosumer market, iShowU Studio focuses on providing simplified post-recording editing and publishing of captured footage.

iShowU Studio shares several of the same features of the popular iShowU HD and iShowU Pro applications, including ease-of-use, camera capture, keyboard/mouse compositing, and upload services to YouTube and Vimeo. iShowU Studio also includes a full colour correction pipeline from import through to export, hardware accelerated H264 recording for Mavericks OS X, and many other useful tools.

Feature Highlights:
* Full screen editing UI (optional at user's discretion)
* Optional capture of camera while recording
* Capture of up to two audio streams (microphone and computer audio)
* Capture of mouse and key press events
* Track-based editor that allows clip arranging
* Easy trimming of entire composition and segments
* Ability to draw various shapes (text included) at any point in time over the composition
* Easy ripple-delete
* Super easy Pan/zoom tool
* Ability to add further media
* Freeze framing
* Slicing (used to split segments apart)
* Ability to annotate audio and create freeze frames at the same time
* Crop to a smaller area than the full screen
* Grouping via Collections
* Media manager
* Publication history
* Color Correct editing pipeline
* Ability to export in 480p, 540p, 720p or 1080p
* Built in upload support for both YouTube and Vimeo

Built specifically for screencasts, the core idea behind iShowU Studio is easy capture and editing. One of the many ways iShowU Studio achieves this is by making it easy to add Pan and Zoom operations. Instead of a complex keyframe edit, the user can manipulate the movement of the camera directly on screen. iShowU Studio has also simplified how to add annotations into a recording. Users can simply choose the tool then click and drag to "draw" the shape onto the canvas.

One of the highlighted features of iShowU Studio is its Freeze Frame capability. Usually a multi-part process that includes addition of the frozen frame, recording of new audio, and setting up various opacity and audio ramps, iShowU Studio has incorporated this process into one single operation that will create the frozen frame, insert it with the same duration as the recorded audio, and create audio ramps between the new and existing audio.

"We think users will be thrilled with all the features available in iShowU Studio," says Neil Clayton of shinywhitebox. "We've supercharged many of the features users have come to expect in the iShowU series like screen and camera capture, mouse highlighting and keyboard animations. Now you can edit when and how they appear. Essentially, we've taken the best realtime capture, mixed in 'time' and come up with best full-screen capture and editing program available."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.9 Mavericks or higher
* 4 MB RAM

Pricing and Availability:
For a limited time only, iShowU Studio 1.0 is available for the introductory price of $44.95 (USD). It is regularly priced $89.95 (USD). iShowU Studio 1.0 can be downloaded via the shinywhitebox website and the Mac App Store in the Photo and Video category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers.

Dr. Greenie and his MadLab pals are back with another iPad App

Dr. Greenie and his MadLab pals are back with another iPad App - Published on 04/02/14

Winnipeg-based Media RendezVous Inc. and Toronto-based Positive Productions Inc. have released their second interactive mobile application as a multi-platform companion to their nationally televised and award-winning children's series Planet ECHO. Now available on the Apple iTunes Store, Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic is an entertaining and educational iPad app starring some of the most popular characters from Planet ECHO.

Winnipeg, Canada - Media RendezVous Inc. and Toronto-based Positive Productions Inc. have released their second interactive mobile application as a multi-platform companion to their nationally televised and award-winning children's series Planet ECHO. Now available on the Apple iTunes Store, Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic is an entertaining and educational iPad app starring some of the most popular characters from Planet ECHO.

Currently in post-production on its fourth season, Planet ECHO is a series hosted by Winnipeg brothers, Chuck and Andy Clement. It features environmentally themed stories and comical eco-adventures presented by a cast of funny and wacky characters. The series is currently airing nationally in Canada on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and will soon be available on Knowledge Network in British Columbia and CITY TV Saskatchewan.

Once again this year, as part of the Canada Media Fund's convergent program, the Planet ECHO production team collaborated with multi-talented Winnipeg-based app developers ID Fusion and the designers at Coelement to create a worthy successor to the team's first iPad application - Dr. Greenie's MadLab. This innovative partnership has not only extended the reach of the Planet ECHO television series, but also provided an entertaining and educational destination for kids to learn about the wonders of our planet and the importance of nurturing it. The result of this year's endeavour is the recently released iPad application Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic.

Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic is a free interactive app that follows the adventures of Planet ECHO's loveable mad scientist and his lab friends. The app is comprised of a 12-minute appisode, Animal Magnetism, a story that once again pits Dr. Greenie and his pals against their nemesis the Skink. The app also features an interactive runner game connected to the appisode narrative, through which players are able to accumulate achievements and stickers they can use to build their own virtual MadLab.

Chuck Clement, Executive Producer of Media RendezVous Inc. and host of Planet ECHO emphasized, "Planet ECHO has created a loyal fan base among kids and their parents by using multiple platforms and games to engage them wherever they might be watching from and we're so excited that Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic will continue to enrich their learning experience by allowing them to interact with their favourite characters in a more fun and personal way."

Planet Echo was once again honoured last year by the Parent's Choice foundation as a recommended program in their annual Children's Media and Toy Review. It was the second consecutive year the program has earned that recognition. Christopher Greaves, Executive Producer of Positive Productions Inc. remarked, "Planet Echo and all its digital extensions like Dr. Greenie's Magnotronic have been conceived with the aim of becoming world class children's entertainment and educational products created right here in Canada!"

About Planet ECHO:
Winner of the prestigious Parent's Choice award in 2012 & 2013 and hosted by Winnipeg brothers, Chuck and Andy Clement, Planet ECHO is a mash-up of colourful stories about people, places and things from the natural world infused with high adventure, cool factoids and working science all connected to the environment. It's fun, entertaining and uses positive story-telling to showcase cutting-edge environmental technologies along with old-school traditional knowledge. Planet ECHO is broadcast on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), Knowledge Network in British Columbia and CITY TV Saskatchewan.

Vitamin-R 2.11 adopts Mac OS X native notifications

A new article has been published at prMac.

Vitamin-R 2.11 adopts Mac OS X native notifications - Published on 04/02/14

publicspace has announced Vitamin-R 2.11 for OS X. Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short time slices of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with specific, easily reachable and actionable objectives - helping to improve focus and overcome procrastination. It features an array of highly configurable visual, audio and speech notifications. The new version replaces Vitamin-R's custom notification system with Mac OS native notifications.

Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg - publicspace has announced version 2.11 of Vitamin-R, its innovative time boxing solution designed to overcome procrastination, retain focus and maintain motivation. The new version replaces Vitamin-R's custom notification system with Mac OS X native notifications first introduced with Mountain Lion.

Vitamin-R creates optimal conditions for the human brain by structuring work into short bursts of distraction-free, highly-focused activity alternating with opportunities for renewal, reflection and intuition. The built-in task logging and analysis features create positive momentum towards productivity by providing users with tangible feedback on their progress and achievements.

* Slices Up Daunting Tasks into Manageable Chunks:
Vitamin-R breaks down large, vaguely defined tasks into a series of short "time slices" of between 10 and 30 minutes, each with a specific, actionable and reachable objective.

* Promotes Higher Focus:
Vitamin-R features an array of highly configurable visual, audio and speech notifications that prod users to get back to their task as soon as their attention starts to wander.

* Gets You Started, Keeps You Motivated:
Vitamin-R allows users to break through the resistance of procrastination and create a positive feedback loop of small achievements that gets them closer to their ultimate aims.

* Effective Task Switching:
Task switching is a big, but often unavoidable productivity killer. Vitamin-R makes it as efficient as possible and the built-in "breadcrumbing" technique helps users to pick up where they left off.

* Productive Breaks:
Regular breaks are not for slackers. In fact, they are especially important for people who work with high focus. Vitamin-R's timed breaks make sure that a renewal break does not turn into a free afternoon and the "priming" technique allows your intuition to work overtime even before you start on a new objective.

* Promotes Awareness of Individual Rhythms:
Each one of us is different. Finding out what works best for you is the key to true productivity. Vitamin-R provides the tools to gain improved awareness of preferred work methods and rhythms. Armed with this new knowledge, you can eliminate unproductive work patterns.

* Get It Out of Your Head Quickly:
Did you know that your short term memory can only hold 4-6 "chunks" of information? The slightest interruption and it's all gone and you have to start from scratch. That's why Vitamin-R provides you with the "Now & Later Board", complete with FastType magic, to give you a place to quickly dump all those things that go through your head and allow you to quickly return to your task.

* Make It Your Own:
Vitamin-R plugs into your life rather than trying to take it over. You can use it occasionally to overcome procrastination or mental blocks or re-organize your entire working life around the concepts that it embodies.

* Works with OmniFocus, Things & The Hit List:
Vitamin-R integrates with traditional to-do list managers rather than trying to replace them.

* Block Out Noise:
The built-in noise machine can block out irritating coworkers and create energizing soundscapes.

* Eliminate Distractions:
Vitamin-R helps reduce distractions by automatically eliminating desktop clutter and hiding unrelated applications.

* Ideal for Pomodoro Technique Aficionados:
Vitamin-R provides everything you need to implement the Pomodoro Technique: sophisticated timer, log book and analysis component.

* Attention Deficit Disorder:
While Vitamin-R was never specifically designed with ADHD "suffers" in mind, many ADHD-ers have found its approach to focusing attention invaluable.

Version 2 features a new, re-designed user experience, easy two finger swipe navigation, an un-dockable main window, a new recent and default objectives pop-up, tag- and time-based reporting and statistics, integration of motivational statistics into the workflow, as well as many other improvements and refinements.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or later
* 64-bit Mac
* 32 MB Hard Drive space

Pricing and Availability:
The single user version of Vitamin-R is available for $29.99 (USD) from the Mac App Store and for $29.95 (USD) from the publicspace web store. The web store also offers Family, Business and Enterprise licensing and customers may chose to include a "forever upgrade" with their purchase. Each Vitamin-R web store purchase includes a free license for its companion product, Noise Machine, which is also available separately starting at $4.95 (USD).

Groundbreaking Shared-Reading eBook Method for Preschoolers

A new article has been published at prMac.

Groundbreaking Shared-Reading eBook Method for Preschoolers - Published on 04/02/14

Tribal Nova has launched iRead With, a shared-reading program that fosters Language development in Preschoolers. Developed in collaboration with McGill University, iRead With interactive eBooks encourage a participative reading experience engaging both child and parent. Parents read a story and start a dialogue using suggestions from the app. Prompted to interact, the child is enabled to play an active role in the narrative. The apps are available exclusively for iPad in English and French.

Montreal, Canada - Tribal Nova, a Houghton Mifflin Harcourt company, and the developer of the award winning PBS KIDS PLAY! learning program and the i Learn With educational kids' apps, has launched "iRead With", a groundbreaking shared-reading program designed to foster language development for children aged two to five.

iRead With interactive eBooks encourage a participative reading experience engaging both child and parent. Parents read a story and start a dialogue using suggestions from the app. Prompted to interact, the child is enabled to play an active role in the narrative. Their active participation helps children develop their vocabulary, literacy skills, phonological awareness, narrative skills and comprehension strategies.

This method is the result of two years of formative research and collaboration between Tribal Nova and world-renowned McGill University and is based on the research of language development expert Dr. Susan Rvachew, head of the University's Child Phonology Lab. The McGill team has been conducting ongoing formative research with parents and children to test the effectiveness of the method. "Shared-reading is an ideal context for learning especially when parent and child talk together about the story. We see that parents and children take their time with iRead With books - enjoying the animations and engaging in rich conversations that support language and literacy learning" explains Dr. Rvachew.

"The launch of iRead With demonstrates why Tribal Nova's core mission fits so well with HMH. We share a belief that technology can only transform the learning experience if quality educational content is at its core," said Mary Cullinane, Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. "Together our goal is to create engaging early learning experiences which positively leverage the power of technology to improve learning outcomes."

The first two books in the iRead With series feature Caillou, the well-known character from the PBS Kids television series. Based on a best-selling series of books, first published in 1990 by Chouette Publishing, Caillou is a unique preschool show that presents everyday situations and settings that resonate with children. The stories are age appropriate and help children grow with self-esteem, confidence and independence.

"Caillou: What's That Funny Noise?" and "Caillou: Show and Tell" offer interactive features that foster parent-child conversation and keep the child's attention through engaging animations, "living words" and fun questions. A professional narration feature for parents also allows children to discover and learn on their own after a shared reading experience.

About DHX Media:
DHX Media is a leader in the creation, production and licensing of family entertainment rights. DHX Media owns, markets and distributes 9,500 half hours of children's entertainment content, and exploits owned properties through its consumer products licensing business.

About Chouette Publishing:
Chouette Publishing was founded in 1987 in Montreal by Christine L'Heureux. Inspired by the work of French psychoanalyst Dr. Franoise Dolto, Christine wanted to offer books that would help children to grow in harmony with the world around them. Her project gave life to Caillou in 1990. He immediately became a loyal friend to children 0 to 6. Caillou is published in more than 40 countries in 20 languages, and has sold over 15 million books worldwide. Caillou TV series is available in more than 50 countries.

The apps are available exclusively for iPad in English and French. As a launch special for a limited time, "Caillou: What's That Funny Noise?" can be downloaded at no cost, while "Caillou: Show and Tell" is available at a reduced price of $0.99. Both apps are available from the App Store.

198 Backers Kickstart the Padcaster Mini, Available Now for Preorder

A new article has been published at prMac.

198 Backers Kickstart the Padcaster Mini, Available Now for Preorder - Published on 04/02/14

The Padcaster has successfully raised over $23k through its Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of a Padcaster designed for the iPad mini. The Padcaster is a rugged, versatile production tool. The Padcaster Mini will provide a smaller, less obtrusive form factor. With the Original Padcaster and Padcaster Air kits already in production, it would have been impossible to continue production while researching and developing a tool for the iPad mini. Padcaster Mini is now being manufactured.

New York, New York - The creators of the Original Padcaster(R) and Padcaster Air are poised to roll out the Padcaster Mini, thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, which concluded on March 6th. Last month, The Padcaster launched its latest crusade to raise $15K within thirty days to ramp up user interest in adding the Padcaster Mini to its lineup of iPad production tools. The campaign exceeded its goal by raising over $23K. With R&D complete and manufacturing underway, those interested can now preorder the Padcaster Mini.

"The outpouring of support for the Padcaster Mini has been astonishing," comments Josh Apter, founder of The Padcaster. "This being our second go at a Kickstarter campaign, we knew it was all or nothing. We're thrilled that, when people ask us when we will have a Padcaster for the iPad mini, we'll be able to tell them it's on its way."

Fueled by frequent updates - including a hilarious parody of Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" - and positive feedback from the technology community, The Padcaster Mini Kickstarter campaign garnered support from 198 backers who donated anything from $1 to $1,000 to help turn this innovative idea into a real-world product. Because Kickstarter projects are backed by a future community of end users, achieving the goal is like getting rave reviews from your customer base before the product hits the shelves. For the community of creatives whose tablets are transformed into mobile production studios, The Padcaster is a rugged, versatile production tool. "It's like having Batman's utility belt for your tablet." (Technology Tell)

In his post on Technology Tell, tech writer Stanley Goodner continues, "The ease and simplicity of the Padcaster Mini is what makes it extraordinary. This device features an insert that holds the iPad Mini in place, yet lets you pop it out whenever you need to. But when the tablet is in, you're likely to have it mounted on a tripod (or monopod, if you wish) for steady shooting."

With the Original Padcaster and Padcaster Air kits already in production and having been funded almost entirely out of pocket, it would have been impossible to continue production while simultaneously researching and developing a Padcaster for the iPad mini. The users have spoken, the goal was met and then exceeded, and the Padcaster Mini is now being manufactured.

MacTrast's Ian Fuchs comments, "With the huge emphasis on mobile devices replacing expensive, bulky cameras and video rigs, the Padcaster really is carving the way to make the iPad a relevant tool in video production. Paired with an iPad mini, the whole experience gets a little more compact, a little more portable, and just as impressive!"

Christina Bonnington of Wired seems to agree tablet production is the way of the future. In an article, "How to Turn Your iPad Into the Ultimate Video Rig," she names The Padcaster as a great device that "will give you a more stable way to shoot video." She continues, "While we still don't condone using your iPad to record video at concerts, we do think the tablet is, in general, a great tool for shooting, editing, and sharing videos. The larger screens, the plethora of apps, and the built-in cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity make iPads ideal for seasoned videographers and newbies alike. But ultimately, tapping into the tablet's true video-shooting potential means using the right combination of tricks, apps, and hardware."

For those who insist on using an iPad to shoot concerts, the Padcaster Mini will, at the very least, provide a smaller, less obtrusive form factor, allowing others to enjoy the performance.

The Future is Mini
Dubbed "a must have" by CNET with an outstanding 4.5-star review and featured in Apple's gorgeous new iPad Air "Your Verse" campaign, the Padcaster inspires innovative workflows while transforming enthusiasts into artists. Based on the same design as the Original Padcaster, The Padcaster Mini features a sturdy aluminum frame with a flexible insert, optimized for the iPad mini. Offering the same impressive 1080p HD video recording capabilities as the iPad Air in a smaller, lighter and more compact package, the iPad mini is the perfect Padcaster companion, making The Padcaster Mini a natural evolution in Padcaster production.

In Other News...
The Padcaster is proud to announce The Padcaster 2.0, the latest version of the iPad filmmaking case optimally built for the newest iPad generations, has been named a finalist in the StudioDaily Prime Awards in the Production Tools Category. Finalists will be recognized at this year's NAB Show, where The Padcaster got its start two years ago. StudioDaily will also be announcing the Prime Awards winners and Best of Show categories on the show floor.


Pricing and Availability:
The Padcaster Mini is $99.00 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the Padcaster website.

Dolphin and Whale Songs to bring them in Like Duck calls

A new article has been published at prMac.

Dolphin and Whale Songs to bring them in Like Duck calls - Published on 04/01/14

Minnesota based Osmic Research Co. updated it's Talk With Fish 1.0.11 (Free for limited time). It now includes 14 whale and dolphin songs and over 80 FishCalls for 25 species of game fish. It's perfect for bringing more fish to table and whale watching. These Fish Calls are the actual underwater recorded spawning calls, fish feeding sounds and bait vibrations. The Swedish Navy mistook underwater Herring Farts (included in the app) in Stockholm Bay for Soviet Spy submarines. Just plug in iPhone.

Duluth, Minnesota - Osmic Research Company has updated TalkWithFish 1.0.11, an innovative app that includes over 80 Whale, Dolphin and Fish Calls for 25 species of game fish. New, in the app, are 14 Dolphin and Whale songs to draw these cetacean mammals in for close encounters. The Fish Calls are the actual underwater recorded spawning calls, fish feeding sounds and bait vibrations that attract predator fish to the fisherman's dock or boat. Herring Farts are one of the app's Fish Calls used to catch any fish that feeds on herring. The Swedish Navy mistook Herring Farts heard on their hydrophones for Soviet Spy submarines plying Stockholm Bay .

Fishermen have used underwater sounds for thousands of years to attract fish. Aristotle described using fish sounds 2000 years ago and Homer discussed sound attraction for catfish (Janko 1900). My father, a commercial fisherman on the Mississippi River, used oar slaps to bring catfish to his setlines. Fish hear and feel the sounds and vibrations of food creatures and sex objects, before they actually see them. Fish produce sounds by "stridulation," which is the grinding of teeth and spines. They can also use "sonic muscles" to beat their swim bladder like a drum. Some fish are named for the sounds they make, like the croakers, the drums and the grunts. Whales communicate over hundreds of miles with sound.

The Fish Call sound tracks on the Talk With Fish App can call fish to your boat, dock, bank fishing or ice fishing area from over 100 yards away and excite them into a feeding frenzy. Check with local regulations. The cat fishing "clonk" sound has been so successful on the Danube in Europe, it has been outlawed in certain places. (Solymos 1965)

Check with our web site for instructions and videos on how to use this new, digital age fishing tool. You can obtain an underwater speaker from us, or use your own earphone or speaker. Plug the underwater speaker into the earphone output of your iPhone, iPod, or iPad and place underwater, in your fishing location.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 60.24 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Talk With Fish 1.0.11 basic app and 36 fish calls, including the Whale and Dolphin songs will be Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category from now through the end of April. The "Freshwater, and Complete Pack will be price dropped to $0.99 (USD). Visit our web site to see this app in exciting fish catching action.

Red Giant BulletProof Takes Aim with More Camera Support

A new article has been published at prMac.

Red Giant BulletProof Takes Aim with More Camera Support - Published on 04/01/14

Oregon based Red Giant today announces BulletProof 1.2, an update that brings more camera support and other improvements to its footage backup and preparation tool. BulletProof is a complete footage prep solution with a workflow that simplifies how you handle footage every day. In addition to the existing support for Canon and Nikon DSLRs and GoPro cameras, BulletProof now includes support for Panasonic and Sony DSLRs, and for the Canon C-series and XF-series cameras.

Beaverton, Oregon - Today, Red Giant is proud to announce BulletProof 1.2, an update that brings more camera support and other improvements to its footage backup and preparation tool.

Bruce Sharpe, Shooter Suite business unit manager said, "Last year at NAB, we released BulletProof - a product that we knew had the potential to become an essential tool for shooters. This year, we've updated it to support the AVCHD and Canon XF format, two formats that are a mainstay of the industry."

In addition to the existing support for Canon and Nikon DSLRs and GoPro cameras, BulletProof now includes support for Panasonic and Sony DSLRs, and for the Canon C-series and XF-series cameras.

BulletProof is designed to solve several challenges that, since the DSLR revolution, have plagued shooters, both on set and right before post-production. One of those challenges is the issue of reliable backup.

"Shooters work under extreme time pressure while on set," said Randon Morford, Shooter Suite product manager. "Reliable file backup is often considered a luxury. At best, most shooters simply copy their footage to a hard drive, blazing on with their shoot and hoping for the best. Too often, however, the data is corrupt and doesn't make it to the timeline. We designed BulletProof to make sure that never happens."

BulletProof, which boasts robust automated backup and verification tools, allows shooters to do what they are already doing, but with confidence. Once the camera card is in the card reader, BulletProof creates copies of your footage and verifies them to ensure a perfect duplication. In addition, while the footage is being backed up, the shooter can use BulletProof's GPU-accelerated playback tools to review the footage and make sure they got the shots they need.

Also new to BulletProof is a highly requested feature called "Add Mode" - a reference mode that speeds up the import process by cataloging media that has already been copied to disk.

While BulletProof's features start with backup and review of footage on set, it also addresses the next area of pain in the shooter's process - preparing the footage and notes for post-production. BulletProof includes powerful tools for tagging, adding metadata, notes, in-and-out points, and even suggested color correction to the footage - all to help bring the shooter's intention over to the timeline. These features can be used right on set or once the shooter gets back to the edit suite.

In addition, BulletProof is now integrated with PluralEyes, Red Giant's hugely popular automated audio/video sync tool. One of the editing industry's most popular tools, PluralEyes literally saves hours or days of audio/video syncing work, with the touch of a button. BulletProof now makes the process even more fluid by sending the footage over to PluralEyes in an organized way, so that you can sync your footage immediately. Once synced, PluralEyes sends the footage directly to the editing timeline, ready for editing.

"Since PluralEyes allows the shooter to work more freely on set by not having to worry about timecode or clapboards," said Sharpe, who also created the app, "it seemed like a natural progression to have our footage backup and prep tool integrated with the next tool in the production chain."

"For the last year we have been singularly focused on making BulletProof a better tool for people working on set and in the edit bay," added Morford. "We're proud to offer a product that lets the shooter work with the confidence that comes with knowing that their footage will make it home safe, sound and in sync."

The Red Pledge:
Red Pledge is Red Giant's commitment to customer happiness, with no purchasing hassles. Learn about the Red Pledge guarantee by visiting Red Giant online.

Pricing and Availability:
BulletProof 1.2 beta will be available soon, with a release in Q2 for $199 (USD). It is a free upgrade for existing users of BulletProof 1.0.
