Edited Project Fear Trailer , even did the music and came up with the tagline - All you have to fear is .. yourself. The director gave me 2.5 minutes of footage which I cut down into a compelling trailer for urbanchillers and other sites. The film was shot on location on 2 islands in the Visayas. I expect a winter release on this picture.

Lagarith codec - windows archiving codec for HD files
Install this codec in a windows (mac command line available) computer to output 4:2:0 files out of After Effects to be used for On2 or Silverlight compressors. This is the clean master file that can be used to archive the HD edited masters.
Lagarith is a lossless video codec intended for editing and archiving. Lagarith offers better compression than codecs like Huffyuv, Alparysoft, and CorePNG. There are a few lossless codecs that can compress better than Lagarith, such as MSU and FFV1; however Lagarith tends to be faster than these codecs. Lagarith is able to operate in several colorspaces - RGB24, RGB32, RGBA, YUY2, and YV12.
Lagarith will encode on multiple cores which is good because it is mighty slow on a single processor.

Excellent suite of client communication tools
In the Adobe AIR marketplace there is a download to access the suite of tools, connect, share, buzzword, my files, and create 5 PDFs for free.
The desktop GUI makes it a lot easier to upload files to your "my files" and share them selectively with clients.
One can share zip files, flash, etc for clients to view your content.
Adobe connect allows for a 3 people to have a white paper, web cam meeting and the ability to take notes.
It is all backed by the FLASH AIR interface so it is an easy to use GUI and there is no additional software to use.
Great way to communicate with clients all from acrobat.com
