At NAB in Las Vegas, David Simmons, the Principal Scientist for Adobe Character Animator, gave us a demo of what had to be the most fun thing at the show. Coming to Adobe Creative Cloud sometime soon, Adobe Character Animator lets you create your own characters from scratch and animate them using the camera on your Mac and your own face. Eyes, mouth, movement, and more can be as simple as talking to the character on screen and watching them mimic you. Even at the demo level, it is addictive and fun, and the way that Adobe has put it together, you can easily design characters of your own design using simple vector images.

From the show floor at NAB in Las Vegas, Mark Hudgins of Imagine Products shows us what their latest, HD-VU 2, can do. HD-VU 2 is, simply put, a media player. What makes it so powerful and so essential is that it can play pretty much any media file you throw at it. From the simple .AVI and .MOV files we all know to the more specialized formats that the new, high end cameras produce, HD-VU 2 can play them all smoothly and natively, with no transcoding necessary. That includes Blackmagic ProRes & DNG, Canon AVCHD, EOS & XF, GoPro Hero, Panasonic P2 & AVCCAM, JVC ProHD, SxS, RED Epic Dragon, One & Scarlet, Sony NXCam, XAVC(*), XDCam & AVCHD, Arri Alexa & Amira, AJA Cion and more.
