WaterField VertiGo 2.0 Laptop Bag - Intelligent Details and Worldly Look - Published on 08/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WaterField Designs unveils the VertiGo 2.0 laptop bag with intuitive details for modern convenience. Waxed canvas, ballistic nylon and premium leather engender a sophisticated character in this comfortable and contemporary business, travel and casual use bag. Three size choices are ideally suited for the iPad Air, 13-inch Macs and 15-inch Macs respectively. Available exclusively from WaterField Designs. Made in USA.

San Francisco, California - WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in custom laptop sleeves, bags and cases for digital-minded professionals, announces the VertiGo 2.0 laptop bag. With its modern materials of waxed canvas, ballistic nylon and full-grain leather, its vertical weight distribution, and its intuitive design details, the VertiGo 2.0 serves as the quintessential bag for business, travel and casual use. Three size choices are ideally suited for the iPad Air, 13-inch Macs and 15-inch Macs respectively.

Every detail on the VeritGo 2.0 is carefully devised with ease of use, comfort and contemporary esthetics in mind. A large main compartment holds laptop sleeves, tablets or travel gear. Two interior open-topped pockets are raised off the bottom of the bag for both easy access and to vertically distribute the weight of bag contents. A hidden security magnet holds a front pocket snug to the bag. Therein, a self-locking zippered pocket keeps items like keys, wallet and tickets secure yet quickly accessible.

Customizable textile options address the style needs of any modern wardrobe. Users choose from a durable black ballistic nylon or ruggedly-elegant, tan, waxed canvas base. They can then add black or chocolate premium, naturally-tanned leather accents. An all-ballistic nylon or all-waxed canvas option satisfies sophisticated vegan consumers.

"I love how comfortable the VertiGo is and that it keeps all my gear so easily accessible," explained owner Gary Waterfield. "The vertical design is unobtrusive and the adjustable shoulder strap is long enough to wear across my chest, messenger-style, or off one shoulder. The new handles are convenient for a quick-grab and go, and I can hide them in the front and back pockets when not in use."

To keep laptops safe within the VertiGo 2.0 and other bags, WaterField offers the laptop SleeveCase in over 100 sizes. Another option - the Outback Sleeve - is available in four custom sizes for Apple laptops.

Pricing and Availability:
The VertiGo 2.0: Price and dimensions: Small - $129-$149; (8.5" x 11" x 3.5"). Medium - 139-$159; (10.5" x 13" x 3.8"). Large - $149-$169; (10.8" x 16" x 3.8").

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toronto based musician and technologist, Rosano Coutinho today announces iLift 2.0 for iOS. iLift helps musicians transcribe and learn to play music from recordings.

The new additions complement the app's existing ability to transpose to alternate keys, adjust fine tuning for out of tune recordings, loop sections of a song, rewind or fast forward like a tape player, and show metadata.

Toronto, Canada - Musician and technologist, Rosano Coutinho today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of iLift 2.0 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iLift helps musicians transcribe and learn to play music from recordings.

The app focuses on simplicity: "This is one of the few music apps you can use without reading complicated instructions, managing files, or understanding English," says Rosano Coutinho, the app developer; "You can even operate it without looking at the screen!"

iLift 2.0 includes a redesigned interface, high quality speed change (slow down to 25% of original speed), and intuitive loop marking. The new additions complement the app's existing ability to transpose to alternate keys, adjust fine tuning for out of tune recordings, loop sections of a song, rewind or fast forward like a tape player, and show metadata.

"You can use your ears to learn jazz solos, fiddle tunes, math rock, indigenous music, classical pieces, Lady Gaga, or whatever suits you", says Coutinho. "This app will help you develop your listening ability."

Features:
* Slow down to 25% of original speed and speed up to 175% without altering pitch
* Raise and lower key by up to 12 semitones in both directions
* Adjust fine tuning for out of tune recordings or instruments
* Loop sections or the entire song

* No file management: works with any song in the Music/iPod app

Quotes:

"This is an ingeniously simple and intuitive app which handles the tasks of slowing down, looping or transposing music very well. It took me about 1 minute to understand all its features without any need for a manual."

"this app keeps me on my A game. I have all of the songs we play on my iPod [...] I load it up on this bad boy and work it out until I land it. I love this app and it will always be on page one"

"allows me to spend the least amount of time touching my iPad and the most time actually picking up notes and wrtiting them down on my sheet. I'm already transcribing my third song and it's really quite fun"

"I'm a guitar teacher and this app is fantastic for my lessons."

"Very easy to use. I play bass and just learned a song with this app. I was able to do everything with one hand and keep the other on my instrument."

"Using to practice songs in my vocal range. Have a whole new selection now."

"It's obvious this app was designed by a musician who needed a better music player for learning and practicing songs."

"I can now play along with Glen Gould and Bill Evans"

"Beautiful and very comfortable interface. The app is very simple and allows you to do with eye gestures what other applications are making it more complicated."

"As an actively working jazz and gospel keyboardist, this app is an indispensable tool to transcribing recordings and solos."

"If you're a musician who uses an iPhone or iPad to learn songs, then you will love this app. If you hate music players with cluttered up, busy screens and tiny little control buttons, you will love this app."

"What an excellent program, at a good price and so simple to use, just what was needed for the iPad, now I can transcribe my music anywhere without being tied to a computer, thanks!"

"iLift is exactly what I was looking for. It has the best User Interface out of all the slow down/looping apps that I have seen... The controls are intuitive and easy."

Red Giant Releases Primatte Keyer Version 5.1 - Published on 08/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Red Giant today releases Primatte Keyer 5.1, an update that adds support for Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro X (FCP X) and Motion. Primatte Keyer lets users easily remove a blue- or green-screen background, often with the touch of a button. Its time-tested tools and friendly user interface have made Primatte Keyer the industry favorite for chroma keying and compositing. Version 5.1 brings the same powerful tools to editors, directly within their NLE or motion graphics tool of choice.

Portland, Oregon - Red Giant, makers of essential software tools for filmmakers, editors, VFX artists and motion designers, today released Primatte Keyer 5.1, an update that adds support for Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro X (FCP X) and Motion. Using the same keying technology from blockbuster hits such as "Lord of the Rings," "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man," Primatte Keyer lets users easily remove a blue- or green-screen background, often with the touch of a button.

"Over the last year we've heard, non-stop, from editors that they need chroma keying technology in their NLEs," said Aharon Rabinowitz, Red Giant's head of marketing. "Many of them have expressed frustration, both with needing to leave their editor to do even basic compositing and with the loss of time that comes with it. We're really excited to help editors solve these challenges."

Primatte Keyer 5.1 takes the powerful chroma keying tools that have, up until now, only been available to Adobe After Effects users and puts them into the hands of editors. Primatte Keyer now supports After Effects, Premiere Pro, FCP X and Motion, giving all users of these host apps direct access to high-end tools for fast automatic keying, digital green screen relighting, and indispensable compositing and cleanup tools.

More About Primatte Keyer
For years, compositors and visual effects artists around the world have used Primatte Keyer in their film and broadcast work. Its time-tested tools and friendly user interface have made Primatte Keyer the industry favorite for chroma keying and compositing. Version 5.1 brings the same powerful tools to editors, directly within their NLE or motion graphics tool of choice. Some key Primatte Keyer features include:

* Fast, Automatic Chroma-Keying: Remove the green/blue-screen with the touch of a single button
* The Best User Experience with the Best Results: Primatte Keyer's user interface makes it easy to select the background and foreground, and to separate them out for a great key. Primatte Keyer's Cleanup tools help make composites look solid without much additional effort
* Correct Uneven Lighting: Primatte Keyer can analyze the background and even out the lighting before performing the key - making for a much cleaner background removal
* Powerful Compositing Tools: Primatte Keyer includes tools essential for turning your chroma key into a realistic composite - including Light Wraps, Color Matching and much more
