1、影视后期合成软件之比较（Comparison of composite software in the late stage of film and television）One, After Effect:In television packaging, After Effect is a general late software, and is now the most widely used late synthesis software, which can be used in conjunction with most of the purpose of 3D software.
2、 Adobe itself is the software company that started the production of flat processing software Photoshop, and Photoshop has been widely used in the field of image. This makes After Effect, which is not very demanding for hardware performance, is well suited for use as a television packaging software,
3、 and the following features of After Effect make it the most widely used synthesis software.1 and plane software combination, very good, support Photoshop, Illustrator and other file formats.2 easy to use, very easy to use.3 can be compatible with any animation software.4 Effects innumerable very su
4、itable for light effect, some gorgeous, this is TV packaging need to do most of the work.5, the hardware requirements are very low, and the image processing speed is relatively fast, suitable for multilayer synthesis effect.Two, Flame:Although the software After Effect is most widely used in TV pack
5、aging, but it is not the most professional compositing software, most of those such as Discreet, Flame and other high-end compositing software synthesis software professional or running on the SGI workstation, but the software is extremely expensive. So, more suitable for ordinary TV packaging divis
6、ion of synthetic software, or PC these synthetic software, the use of these PC synthesis software can also produce a very exciting visual effects.Three, Combustion:In recent years, improvements in the level of PC hardware have enabled high-end software vendors such as Discreet to begin developing in
7、tegrated software systems for PC platforms. As early as 2001, Discreet had the PC synthesis software Paint integrated with Effect launched a complete PC synthesis machine software Combustion, it is the synthesis of workers is extremely concerned about the launch at the beginning, it was hailed as a
8、PC machine on the Flint, while the Combustion and SGI platform software has great synthesis the gap, but it can and some high-end compositing software shared some modification tools, Combustion matting and colour information can directly be these high-end software identification. Combustion after se
9、veral years of development and added many new effects on the function itself has become increasingly powerful, and the traditional Discreet rigorous style used in the operation, the use of synthetic standard software interface (black ash to minimize the impact on the interface, the color correction
10、of human eye is not easy to generate visual difference and achieve more ideal results of color correction). The integration of particle and Illusion Combustion later Warp Flex more practical, coupled with the Combustion itself, text tracking, keying, color correction and other functions, make the Co
11、mbustion ideal as a practical compositing software. It is worth mentioning that Combustion can use 90% After Effect plug-in, which makes its performance greatly improved, even Combustion can be After Effect also introduced to the internal functions of software for internal use, but Combustion on the
12、 hardware requirements higher than After Effect, which makes use of it is limited.Three, Digital Fustion:There is a post synthesis software package Digital Fustion is preferred Master, said he and Maya have certain origin, then Maya up to version 3, with the integration of Combustion and Max 3ds Ali
13、as, did not feel a post composite software and Maya complex is not appropriate, so will buy Fustion Digital come and released a Maya version of Fustion, a lot of people from that time to start using Digital Fustion.In the face of the still naive After Effect, so that users feel Digital Fustion is a
14、more professional PC synthesis software, so it was accepted by many experts. At that time, Digital Fustion can make more surprising move - prices to buy only for senior Discreet software development 5D BOX the late effects plug-in, so that many other synthetic software be struck dumb.Four, Edit/Effe
15、ct/Paint:Edit/Effect/Paint is the Discreetl Logic company launched a series of software on the PC platform.Among them, Edit is a professional non-linear editing software, with Digi, Suite or Targa series of high video acquisition card, is second only to Avid Media Composer excellent non-linear editi
16、ng software.Effect is a software layer based on the synthesis, he also set the Action module similar to Inferon/Flame/Flint, the user can set the picture for each layer of color, motion, and track buckle like operation, you can also set the lights. One of the great advantages of Effect is that it ca
17、n directly utilize the various filters involved in Adobe After effect, which greatly complements the function of Effect. Since Autodesk has become the parent company of Discreetl Logic, Effect has a special emphasis on collaboration with 3DS MAX, which is especially attractive for small production o
18、rganizations and hobbyists with 3DS, MAX, and no major 3D software.Paint is a drawing software, which is equivalent to the drawing module of Inferon/Flame/Flint software. With this software, users can easily modify the moving picture. Based on the characteristics of vectors, it can be easy to set th
19、e animation of the brush, to meet the needs of animation animation. The software is compact, powerful, excellent software on the PC platform, and a complementary tool for other composite software.Discreetl Logic lets the three software meet with, such as from Effect and Paint, the lens for mapping a
20、nd synthesis, improve working efficiency, which is the software solutions to become the most competitive one of the post production on the PC platform.Five, 5D CyborgAt present in the domestic film and television production field, has been in the use of a specific advanced post production synthesis
21、software -5D Cyborg, it has advanced the work flow and interface mode of operation and high operation ability; can edit the synthesis of different resolution, bit depth and frame rate of the image, the image can also be even 2K resolution real time playback. 5D Cyborg can be applied to the synthesis
22、 of film, standard definition image (SD) and high definition (HD) image, which can greatly improve the efficiency of post production. It is not only a basic color correction, image matting, tracking, crayons, time lines, deformation and other functions, there are more than 200 kinds of special effec
23、ts.The 5D Cyborg special effects environment will help the creator create the perfect special effects. Cyborg includes a number of special effects tools that can be used in the synthesis of scenes and target objects. For any single form of 3D object, you can divide it arbitrarily. You can finally sy
24、nthesized by input 3D material texture data and vertical coordinate approach. In the interactive 3D synthesis environment, you can change the textures at random, make 3D changes, and achieve satisfactory results.In order to create subtitles faster and more flexibly in the synthesizer, Cyborg include
25、s not only 3D fonts, but also new 2D font patterns. The new tool is a word processor that has the ability to edit, and it ensures that whatever steps we can take, the text can be processed as raw material to achieve whatever we want. The basic editing functions and workflow of the time line have als
26、o reached a perfect combination. For each synthetic working environment, the Cyborg is the output / access center of the workstation.5D Cyborg, with the full EDL functionality and more effective synthetic effects, may be the dominant system for editing video effects. 5D Cyborg has very many function

33、the most promising special effects synthesis software, which is powerful and has many features of its own. The software has now been acquired by Apple Corp, PC version to 2.51. MAC version LX version to 3.As with Digital Fusion / MAYA Fusion, the process oriented operation provides professional tool
34、s such as color correction, image tracking, channel processing and so on.Seven, CommotionCommotion was produced by Pinnacle, a composite software based on the PC and MAC platforms. Commotion has fewer users in the country. However, this does not mean that its function is not strong. On the contrary,
35、 Commotion has excellent performance.At the same time, because Pinnacle is a hardware card design company, so its hardware support ability is also very strong. Commotion is very similar to After Effects. At the same time, it has very powerful graphics capabilities. A wide variety of strokes can be c
36、ustomized, and stroke animation can be recorded. This again makes it very similar to Photoshop and Illustrator. Commotion iS, a, baby, Of, After, Effects, and, Photoshop. Commotion, besides its powerful graphics capabilities, is very powerful for motion tracking. At the same time, its special functi
37、on is not inferior to other special effects synthesis software. Its user-friendly operating interface also makes it very easy to - hand. Overall, this is a do in all aspects of the standard software, the latest version 4.1. In addition to the above mentioned properties of synthetic software, there a
38、re many excellent software, such as Alias Wavefront Composer, Media lllusion, Quentel Henry and Domino Soft, lmage DS and so on, we will not enumerate here.If we grasp the two synthesis software specific use will find all of these software is the specific method to achieve the principle, in essence,
39、 and there is not much difference, but the interface form and the operation mode is very different. If we can realize this, then learning other synthesis software, will be easy. The last thing to say is,For a particular compositing artist, the choice of software is important. However, the grasp of the lens, the feeling of the film is more important. While mastering a special compositing software, you should observe more, learn the knowledge other than the software, and integrate it into your own film. Only in this way can we become a great special effect artist.
