Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) July 05, 2011

Shedworx, an experienced video software company, has just released 3D video editing software for Panasonic 3D video cameras.

Panasonic 3D cameras ship with 3D video editing software for the PC, but nothing for the Mac. Shedworx has updated RevolverHD to allow Mac users to edit 3D movies for the first time.

3D enthusiasts on the Mac can now easily load 3D video footage into RevolverHD, carry out simple edits, then export the finished project for playback on their Panasonic 3D TV.

RevolverHD works on the ‘native’ 3D video footage which means that no video conversion is needed before or after editing. This gives the user a very quick editing workflow, so playback can happen in minutes, not hours.

Panasonic has recently updated its entire high-end video camcorder range to support 3D video using an optional 3D lens attachment. 3D video from all Panasonic high-end video camcorders is supported by RevolverHD.

“This software is not only easy, it is powerful. No special plugins required just plugin your SDHC card and copy the files or use Shedworx Cosmos which is their excellent photo and movie manager. From there edit your video clips in RevolverHD 3D. When you are happy with the result, simply use the TV EXPORT feature to send the clips to an SDHC card for easy playback on your Panasonic 3DTV,” Al Caudullo, 3DGuy.tv .

With online simple Photoshop courses and movies, it is much easier to learn Photoshop on the internet, and be sure that you are learning the right way. Several videos tend to be shown as if you are watching the teacher’s desktop, so it’s easy to stick to exactly what’s going on.

If you’re looking to build your own Photoshop course through finding your personal basic Photoshop tutorials and videos, you should start together with lessons about the interface and also tools with regard to Photoshop. Additionally, try to find a couple of lessons on layers, that is one of the most critical aspects of Photoshop. This will help you develop a solid foundation for further advanced methods later.

As you master the basics, move on to tougher videos. These kinds of videos may really press what you can do, yet will give you the ability to create great Photoshop compositions. You should always end up being trying to learn much more as you increase your personal Photoshop course.
