A powerful, fun-to-explore video transition program... Implementing transitions is not the easiest part of video work. Working with a lot of effects can get intimidating, especially if you're just getting your feet wet with video. ProDAD understands and presents its family of Adorage products, a line of transition products that includes volumes such as Particles and Lights, Universal Tricks, Diamond Composites, Power FX Pearls, Eyecatcher FX and Particles and Objects.
Easy Transitions
Note: At press time, we had just learned that a new version of Adorage should be shipping shortly after you read this.

Alternately, you can splash out and get all nine volumes together for $499.
Getting Started
Installation is a piece of cake. The relevant plug-ins for any editing software you use are automatically installed. We opted to let the software install the complete data set for the transitions onto our local hard drive, taking up a good 565MB on our disk. Factoring in inefficiencies in Windows' file systems, we would recommend having at least 600MB of free space available on your system drive before you install.
Was ist los? Sprechen sie Deutsch?
The PDF manual that is copied onto the system during installation has some of the most broken English we've seen in a while, as well as interesting artifacts like German-style quotation marks (i.e., open quotes being in subscript rather than superscript). We wonder whether they simply ran the original German text through Babelfish or Google's language tools. Granted, proDAD is an engineering company, not a linguistics company. Of course, if I were really having trouble figuring things out, I could always locate the original German documentation and ask my wife if she could put her German language skills to work for me.
