I've always been a sucker for a cool special effect or transition, which is one of the reasons that I've enjoyed working with proDAD VitaScene over the years. With VitaScene V2, proDAD retains the same easy to use and highly configurable workflow found in the previous edition but adds a number of very cool effects and 64-bit operation. There are two versions available, VitaScene V2 LE ($149) and VitaScene V2 Pro ($499), with the Pro version offering more effects and more configuration options. Both are available as fully functional trial downloads.

proDAD offers the products as plug-ins for Adobe Premiere CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5; Adobe Premiere Elements versions 1-8 (but not Adobe After Effects); Avid/Pinnacle Studio 2011 and Avid Media Composer; Corel VideoStudio X4; Grass Valley EDIUS and Grass Valley NEO; Magix Video Deluxe and Magix Video Pro; Sony Vegas Pro 32/64-bit and Sony Movie Studio HD Platinum.
