Product Overview

Shake 4

Introduction

Used to create the world’s most celebrated visual e∂ ects for ﬁ lm and television,

Shake 4 is the only compositing software that delivers a complete and proven toolset

for creating visually stunning content. Shake 4 is an a∂ ordable, high-quality post-

production solution for studios of all sizes, ranging from individual artists to boutique

operations to large visual e∂ ects facilities. It includes the following powerful features:

• Uniﬁ ed 2D/3D compositing. No other visual e∂ ects software delivers the complete

set of tools required by individual artists and full facilities, including full 32-bit ﬂ oat

Keylight and Primatte keyers, shape-based morphing and warping, and vector-based

paint. Composite live action and 3D CGI layers with more realism using the new

OpenGL-accelerated 3D multiplane compositing node in Shake 4.

3D compositing is seamlessly integrated into the Node View to work with the same

ﬂ exible user interface as every other operation. This modeless workﬂ ow means that

compositing in 3D is as fast and high quality as the 2D operations. Create and animate

multiple cameras or import Maya-compatible camera data for precise matching

between 3D animation and live action. There is now a whole new dimension to the

world’s leading ﬁ lm and HD compositing software.

• Advanced image processing. Shake 4 leads the way in integrating the latest image

processing technology into a single, a∂ ordable visual e∂ ects package. The optical ﬂ ow

technology in Shake 4 uses pixel-by-pixel image analysis to create smooth retiming,

incredible high-quality resizing, and automatic stabilization. The results are cleaner,

sharper, and more natural-looking images.

• Editing and e∂ ects pipeline integration. Shake 4 can now be directly launched from

the Final Cut Pro 5 Timeline, making it easy for professional editors to enhance video

segments with compositing.

• Open and customizable architecture. Extend the out-of-the-box feature set by using

the internal C-like scripting language and macros in Shake 4 to create custom e∂ ects

and functions. The open and extensible architecture makes Shake 4 completely

customizable for large production pipelines by incorporating all of the Shake 4

commands through AppleScript, Perl, or other scripting tools. Shake 4 can be run from

the interface or the UNIX Terminal, making it an excellent “Swiss Army Knife”

suitable for compositors, 3D artists, and technical directors.
