Video Editing---The world of complicated, repetitive operations
Tetsuya Yasutake gives life to a variety of visual expressions by utilizing several cutting edge applications.
How does he take full advantage of his techniques...?
I started using tablets in my work because digital film editing requires accurate device control. Compared to general Photoshop and Illustrator operations for graphic designers, video editing requires detailed operation of menus throughout the whole process. When editing videos, first you need to cut images into little pieces, and then apply an effect to a scene. The time factor is a huge difference from still images. For example, multiple operations like cutting paths and spraying with an airbrush are done within the process. I use a tablet for everything, not just for applying effects because it allows my workflow to proceed smoothly. The pressure sensitivity is also a huge factor in expressing graphical touches, and it is much easier to use than a mouse when cutting paths. Once you get used to working with the pen, I honestly think that it allows much more natural movement than an ordinary mouse.
My very first impression of the new Intuos3 was the difference in the point and click accuracy. The previous models were also very useful, but they sometimes had difficulty in dragging an object or a button. In the new Intuos3, this accuracy has improved incredibly making the whole process easier. Although an unspectacular part of the process, the improvement means a lot to video editors because of the frequency of this operation For people in my line of work, the Intuos3 is a major upgrade of a fantastic tool
