Mikhail Erofeev, with YUVsoft, wrote to say that 3D YUVsoft recently launched Stereo Processing Suite Lite, a set of Adobe After Effects plug-ins for 3D-video correction (color & geometry mismatches correction, disparity map estimation, parallax editing).

As a note, YUVsoft was born more than 10 years ago out of research at the Moscow State University Video Group. They have a long tradition in doing plug-ins.

Steve Abarta sent in this tip about Final Cut Pro X:

I just finished a project of editing about four hours of imported VHS tape down to about 45 minutes (old family Christmas tapes). With the aspect ratio of 4:3, as I always notice, the edges around each clip was fuzzy, with even some black showing. The bottom edge also had artifacts, which were distracting. I wanted the edges to be sharp.

I adjusted the first clip by transforming the scale to about 104% and copied the clip. I then opened the Roles listing, selected over 300 Timeline clips in the list using Roles > Clips > Video. I then used the "Paste Attributes" command, selected the appropriated Transform check boxes in the Paste Attributes window, and within less than a second, all the clips were scaled up to 104%. No need to go through all those clips individually to do what needed to be done!
