Complete Training for GenArts Sapphire from Class on Demand is a training DVD with GenArts' own Todd Prives serving as instructor. Over the course of the five-hour program, you'll get a broad and deep look at the basic and advanced functions of Sapphire, learning how to create many of the 200 effects collected within the plug-in suite. GenArts Sapphire is available for a wide variety of hosts, including Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Autodesk and Avid programs, eyeon Fusion, Sony Vegas Pro, and more.
Prives guides After Effects and Final Cut Pro users through Sapphire features as together they build a broadcast-quality spot, using the included project files for FCP and AE. The DVD-ROM is region-free; video is NTSC.
