DMX Lighting Program animated lighting with simple keyframes. Automate work lights for the animator. Simple front light / back light programming.
Motion Control Use the intuitive graphical interface to program advanced camera moves.
Timeline Frame-based editing as simple as drag and drop. Adjust timing, reshoot sequences, and even restore deleted frames.
Drawing Tools Mark the screen to guide your animation with vector-based drawing tools. Plot and preview motion paths with the increment editor.
X-Sheet Plan your scene and track your progress in the X-Sheet side panel. Add reminders, sketch motion paths and adjusting timing.
Guide Layers Configure all of your composition guides, drawing layers and reference material from the Guide Layers side panel.
Live View Mag Use live view magnification to punch-in on a section of video assist image. (Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Fujifilm.)
Waveform Views View the mixed audio waveform in the Timeline or X-Sheet, so you can see what's coming next while you are animating.
