Hi, I'm shooting my first short on Digi-Beta and am planning to do some post-production finishing but I'm not sure which route to go down. I'm looking to film-effect the film and I understand that the lighting has A LOT to do with the final look, but as far as final master grade and film-like fx, I think I have a couple of options... I could buy Magic Bullet Suite for After Effects for about 500GBP or I could spend the same on a 2 hour grading session in a Pogle suite. I need to know which would be the best option and why? Also, does anybody know when Magic Bullet Editor will be released for Avid Xpress (which I own and am planning to use for the edit). Thanks very much, Tom

hi there, I'm producing a low budget British music video and need some tips on how to make it shine. We're shooting on Digi Beta, in a cocktail bar, and the theme is quite upbeat and fun. I want to give the video a great look so I think we're going to grade it in post-production, so are there any tips on grading Digi Beta as well. Tips on lighting, work flow and giving it the film look would be grately appreciated. Many Thanks Tom Jenkins
