Hi, I’m seeing the Smoke on Mac ads saying “Don’t just edit. Finish” and I’m very curious in what the word “Finish” means in practice.
In my understanding, finishing means being able to deliver the final product wich has passed the edit, comp, grading and audio phases, all assembled/conformed in the finishing/conforming software (wich doesn’t need to do everithing).
Isn’t this what you get just with an NLE? What I’m missing?
Thanks
It means you can do pretty much “everything” from capture to delivery in it. Capture, editing, conform, compositing, title work, audio (up to a certain level), etc. At least that’s the theory, in practice for higher end stuff at least you wouldn’t want to do everything in a Smoke.
Most editing apps have pretty basic compositing tools (if you can call A over B compositing), no 3D environment, no paint, among many other things that most jobs require. So Smoke is indeed more than just a NLE.
