jamstik+ Now Teaches 1,000+ Popular Songs with FourChords Guitar App - Published on 09/09/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Musopia today announced a new partnership with Zivix, the creator of the jamstik smart guitar. The widely acclaimed FourChords Guitar Karaoke App is now compatible with the jamstik+ to play along with your favorite songs. Both Musopia and Zivix share the mission to make music accessible to everyone. The collaboration adds full jamstik+ integration into the FourChords app, and players learning to play guitar with the jamstik+ will now be able to learn 1000+ popular songs songs in a fun way.
Helsinki, Finland - Musopia is very happy to announce a new partnership with Zivix, the creator of the jamstik smart guitar. Widely acclaimed FourChords Guitar Karaoke App is now compatible with the jamstik+ to play along with your favorite songs. Both Musopia and Zivix share the mission to make music accessible to everyone. The collaboration adds full jamstik+ integration into the FourChords app, and players learning to play guitar with the jamstik+ will now be able to learn 1000+ popular songs songs in a fun way.
"Many of the jamstik+ users are first-time guitar players, and after they learn the basics and their first chords with our jamTutor app series, FourChords is the perfect next step for them to start playing their favorite songs," said Matt Cannon, producer at Zivix LLC. "What's better motivation to keep learning an instrument than playing your favorite songs?"
"New technology provides interesting possibilities to accelerate the learning process," said Topi Lopponen, chief executive officer, Musopia. "By combining the new ways of learning chords with jamstik+ as well as new way of learning to play entire songs with FourChords, we can offer an incredibly fast track for users to play their favorite music in record time!"
When playing the songs from the karaoke-style display of the FourChords app, the player will get real time feedback on his performance: jamstik+ smart guitar has a infrared light-sensing technology that "sees" the finger placement, among other useful features.
FourChords Guitar Karaoke has been featured by Apple and Google and liked by individual players and teachers alike. This summer Little Kids Rock, the national nonprofit dedicated to unlock children's inner music makers, started a partnership with FourChords, offering it as a teaching tool for fast and fun learning.

Red Giant Partners With Automatic Duck to Bring Users Two New Products - Published on 09/09/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Red Giant Partners with Automatic Duck to make project transfer between host apps and locations a dream. With Ximport AE, users can copy entire projects directly from Final Cut Pro X to After Effects in one easy step. Ideal for Final Cut Pro and Avid users, Media Copy 4.0 allows users to copy and move project media by reading the project's AAF or XML export and copying referenced files to a chosen destination, making it easy to back up or move media from one location to another.
Portland, Oregon - Red Giant is partnering with software powerhouse Automatic Duck to bring users two new products: Automatic Duck Ximport AE and Automatic Duck Media Copy 4.0. Both leverage Automatic Duck's rich experience in transferring projects between host applications and locations. Ximport AE instantly transfers entire timelines, including cuts, third-party effects, transitions and more, directly from Final Cut Pro X to Adobe After Effects. Media Copy 4.0 uses AAF and XML to vastly simplify copying and moving media files from any Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Avid Media Composer/Symphony project. The addition of Ximport AE and Media Copy 4.0 to the Red Giant collection of software plug-ins for visual effects and motion graphics artists are just the first of more exciting products to come between the Red Giant and Automatic Duck collaboration.
"Automatic Duck is one of those iconic brands in post-production that has made a huge impact on the work of so many artists." says Aharon Rabinowitz, Red Giant's head of marketing. "Its workflow solutions have helped countless editors and motion graphics designers work faster so that they can spend more time on the creative aspects of their projects. We're truly excited to work with Automatic Duck to create products that are the best in their class by addressing what artists truly need to get the job done."
"Automatic Duck and Red Giant have been an integral part of the post-production community for many years, and we've also been good friends," said Wes Plate, president of Automatic Duck. "Red Giant has a solid track record of delivering highly successful products like Magic Bullet Suite and Trapcode Suite. We look forward to the opportunities this partnership will make possible for Automatic Duck."
Automatic Duck Ximport AE:
With Ximport AE, users can copy entire projects directly from Final Cut Pro X to After Effects in one easy step, without requiring conversion or XML processing. This means that effects created using third-party plugins, such as those from Red Giant, as well as a number of Final Cut Pro X features, including compound clips, transforms, retimings and more, will be transferred over seamlessly from FCP X to AE. The first comprehensive solution to bringing Final Cut Pro X edited projects into After Effects while retaining edits and added features, Ximport AE provides the best experience between both apps without the hassle of redoing all of one's work.
"With Ximport AE, my entire FCP X timeline transfers over to After Effects as complete as can be, with all edits and effects perfectly intact," says Jaap Reijngoud, motion director at RAAK. "All I have to do is import my FCP X XML and I'm done with the advanced AE work. I don't have to spend time looking for a workaround. It's all there."
Compatibility:
* Host Application Support for Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects
* Operating System Support for Apple Macintosh OS X
* Support for a vast variety of Final Cut Pro X features, including fades, distort, cross dissolve, split edits, text layers, synchronized clips, and much, much more
* Third-Party Plugin Support for Red Giant, Boris FX, Digital Anarchy, FxFactory, PHYX, Yanobox
Automatic Duck Media Copy 4.0
Media Copy 4.0 allows users to copy and move project media by reading the project's AAF or XML export and copying referenced files to a chosen destination, making it easy to back up or move media from one location to another. Ideal for Final Cut Pro and Avid users, Media Copy 4.0 is the quickest and simplest file collector of its kind. Users can also generate HTML reports for a record of copied files, and they have the option to process individual project files or group them all for relocation. It can be a challenge to archive your media, or to cleanly move a project and its media files from one computer or location to another, but Media Copy 4.0 makes it easy.
About Automatic Duck:

We develop software products that simply make lives simpler. Our timeline translation software has been used by thousands of people - from filmmakers, indies, editors, VFX artists and on everything from major motion pictures to indie films to television commercials. We went away for a while to work with our friends at Adobe, although we were never really gone. And now we're back.
Compatibility:
* Host Application Support for Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer, Avid Symphony

Red Giant is a software company made up of talented artists and technologists who collaborate to create unique tools for filmmakers, editors, VFX artists and motion designers. Our company culture is focused on finding balance between work and life - we call it "the double bottom line" - this philosophy helps us ignore complexity in favor of building simple tools that yield giant results. Over the last decade, our products (like Magic Bullet and Trapcode) have become the standard in film and broadcast post-production. With countless users around the world, it's nearly impossible to watch 20 minutes of film or TV without seeing our software in use. From our experiences as artists and filmmakers, we aspire to not only to provide tools for artists, but inspiration as well. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2015 Red Giant.
