“Who says the sequel can’t be as good as the original?” says Todor Fay, NewBlue’s chief technology officer. “We built NewBlue Video Essentials III in response to the incredible feedback we received regarding our original Video Essentials effects plugins products. Video Essentials III represents the best-of-the-best of these wishlists.”

Using NewBlue Video Essentials III, video editors and enthusiasts can easily fix motion distortion from CMOS cameras, soften jagged edges on text and graphics, effortlessly map the four corners of a video insert over a scene, selectively strengthen color and manipulate atmosphere and easily perform dozens of other tasks designed to optimize workflow.

NewBlue Video Essentials III joins the company’s highly-regarded product line of nearly 20 exclusive video plugins collections and is value-priced at $79.95.

Included in NewBlue Video Essentials III are:
• Image Mapper, which makes it easy to superimpose a smaller image within the scene, including curving the edges for flexible shapes.
• Auto Contrast, which dynamically adjusts contrast and vibrance, helping achieve well-balanced visuals without tedious keyframing.
• Edge Smoother, which selectively softens jaggy edges on text and graphics to blend the scenes together —the next best thing to true anti-aliasing.
• Proportion Helper, which assists the scene composition and balance by providing practical guidelines to arrange elements.
• Rolling Shutter, which repairs the common wobble and skew damage that affects many video cameras using CMOS sensors.
• Split Screen, which elegantly divides the image in a few clicks for compositing — no messy math required.
• Diffusion, which makes the clips bloom in seconds, whether it’s giving a soft glow to wedding footage or an otherworldly aura to the next sci-fi epic.
• Gradient Tint, which gives the power to bring out blue skies, selectively affect color ranges, and more, an invaluable evolution of a key photographer’s filter.
• Spotlight, which provides a versatile way to bring focus to the subjects and apply finishing touches such background blur.
• Dual Booster, which provides an innovative way to independently affect darker and lighter parts of an image, going from subtle enhancements to artistic expression.
