FastCut 2.5 RT released
TimesForFun.de has released FastCut 2.5 RT for Mac OS X, offering video editing capability in real-time. FastCut uses the graphic processing unit (GPU) of video cards to accelerate graphical calculations, and the update extends support for high-definition (HD) video. The software is a full-featured video editor, according to TimeForFun.de, offering 3D motion and effects animation functionality alongside masking and keying. FastCut features video transition, filter effects, and an integrated ATSUI live title editor. The RT-engine is based on OpenGL to benefit from hardware acceleration, and uses Mac OS X's CoreImage technology for filter effects. FastCut 2.5 RT requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary, and is available for €20.
