Autodesk® Smoke® for MAC OS®X

If you are currently using Smoke you are familiar with the toolset including industry leading tracking, keying, paint and CG, in addition to the Action 3D compositing environment.

If you are not familiar you will enjoy learning about these tools and the ability in Smoke to work with almost every recorded video format from RED™ files, Panasonic P2 and Sony
XDCAM® file formats, and expanded Apple® QuickTime® codec support, as well as support for EDL, AAF, OMF, and FCP XML - without waiting for format conversion.

Smoke for the MAC inherits all of these features from the original Linux version.
