VEGAS Creative Software Launches VEGAS Pro 21 and Partners with Boris FX to Include Mocha Planar Tracking

Introducing AI-Supported Masking and Compositing, Advanced VFX Framework

Madison, Wisconsin – VEGAS Creative Software announced today a major new upgrade to their flagship cloud-enabled software for video/audio editing, compositing and effects. VEGAS Pro 21 provides an improved, streamlined and more accessible content creation experience for the global creator community. The new version introduces a number of advanced features and workflow enhancements that add significant improvements to the VEGAS Pro workflow and creative possibilities for users.

VEGAS Creative Software also announced, in partnership with Boris FX, the release of Mocha VEGAS, a version of the Emmy award-winning motion tracking product specifically designed for VEGAS Pro 21. Launched directly from the VEGAS Pro interface, Mocha VEGAS gives instant access to the same sophisticated planar tracking technology that has made Mocha an industry standard for content creators of all types, including Hollywood pros.

VEGAS Pro 21: Another Leap Forward for the Global Creator Community

VEGAS Pro 21 caters to the needs of today’s content creators with the introduction of a number of new features and capabilities that bring sophisticated video and audio editing tools to users of all skill levels, making them even more accessible with flexible new pricing models.

Key new features introduced in VEGAS Pro 21 include:

  • Mocha VEGAS Planar Tracker: Mocha VEGAS is a custom version of the Mocha planar tracking tool developed by Boris FX that integrates tightly into the VEGAS Pro workflow. Tracking data is readily available to be applied in various ways inside VEGAS Pro, allowing the built-in Motion Tracking or Stabilization tools to achieve truly impressive results.
  • Z-Depth OFX Plug-in and Compositor: The new Z-Depth tool in VEGAS Pro 21 enables artists to achieve advanced compositing results and flexible video effects handling. Powered by AI-based image analysis, it allows for instantly defining a foreground and a background layer, simply based on a variable threshold value -and then treating those layers differently. Creative options range from placing text between some foreground objects and the background of the same image, or giving the background independent effect treatment such as blur or color correction.
  • Smart Masking: Now out of beta, the new Smart Masking plug-in analyzes video frame by frame and, again powered by AI, precisely identifies and tracks moving objects. It automatically generates detailed input for the Bézier Masking plug-in, which can be added to the FX chain with a mask already in place, saving hours of work in advanced compositing tasks. The newly created masks are of course fully adjustable to manually correct for any inaccuracies.
  • Adjustment Events: This new feature enables adding effects to projects in very flexible and creative ways by extending the unique architecture of VEGAS Pro. Creators can add time-based adjustment events to a project and assign any combination of effects to them. Any video events in the timeline connected to the adjustment event will be subject to its effect processing, which can also be dialed in dynamically over time. This can be used to easily bring effects in and out, create sophisticated custom transitions, and much more.
  • Cloud-Based Text to Speech: VEGAS Pro Text to Speech functionality has been further optimized and is now powered by cloud computing and available to all VEGAS Pro subscribers across all of the product variants. Expanded functionality includes scores of additional languages, accents, tones and voices, and the ability to access new voices and features as soon as they are ready, without having to wait for a new update release of VEGAS Pro.
  • New Transitions and Effects: VEGAS Pro 21 comes with a number of impressive new effects for creative editing and compositing: The Offset and Wrap plug-in enables a variety of motion-based sliding, mirroring and wrapping effects, especially useful when paired with Adjustment Events to create exciting transitions. New GL Transition presets include Static Wipe, which adds an organic-looking static edge to the transition line between two clips, and Directional Scale, a very useful tool to transition between clips by moving and scaling them in conjunction with each other.
  • Quick Upload: The Quick Upload function enables uploading files from the computer or other devices to the VEGAS Hub File Drop collections. This allows for easy backups as well as working with your media files more easily across multiple devices, drastically reducing the time necessary to get them to the VEGAS Pro timeline.

Risas Dental and Braces Turns to Scale Computing’s High-performing Edge Computing IT Infrastructure for Maximum Uptime and Reliability

INDIANAPOLIS – September 9 – Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, today announced Risas Dental and Braces, a national dental and orthodontics chain, has implemented Scale Computing HC3 to power its edge computing infrastructure. Post-implementation, Risas Dental and Braces has reported major improvements in performance, backup, cost savings and time spent on managing its distributed enterprise IT infrastructure and zero downtime for its 25 national dental and orthodontic store locations.

Founded eight years ago in a medically underserved community, Risas Dental and Braces has retained a strong focus on placing the patient first with high-quality and affordable services. For all of its office locations in the United States, Risas Dental and Braces was in need of an IT infrastructure solution that met both its budget and business needs. On its priority list was an IT infrastructure that is high-performing, self-healing, simple to manage and able to scale for future demands.

Before choosing Scale Computing, Risas Dental and Braces was using a legacy virtualization system for its distributed enterprise IT infrastructure, which was found to be costly, inconsistent and difficult to manage. Risas Dental and Braces needed a solution that can be clustered for high availability and managed remotely with ease for its national locations at the edge of the network. Risas Dental and Braces turned to Scale Computing for enterprise-class features that could be deployed quickly, be managed locally and remotely, and provide self-healing technology.

“With a small IT staff of six to manage our 25 locations, we needed a distributed enterprise IT infrastructure solution to meet the growing workload demands of our department, while still being simple to manage,” explained Chris Lawrence, chief information officer and chief information security officer at Risas Dental and Braces. “We were impressed by the simplicity, autonomy and high-performance of Scale Computing HC3. With Scale Computing, our organization’s overall performance has increased with zero downtime, which has enabled our IT team to focus on more strategic business activities.”

After implementing Scale Computing HC3, Risas Dental and Braces has saved 15-20% of its time managing the distributed enterprise IT infrastructure, experienced zero downtime, and reported major improvements to its overall performance, allowing for its IT team’s focus to be switched to business data and analytics. As part of its backup strategy, Risas Dental and Braces turned to the Scale Computing Data Protection Suite, relying on Scale Computing HC3 to provide the solution for failover between its multi-location model.

“High-performance, simplicity and availability are highly important features for any organization, especially a business like Risas Dental and Braces, that puts the needs of its customers first within its 25 dental and orthodontics locations nationally,” commented Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. “With Scale Computing, Risas Dental and Braces now has an all-in-one simple, reliable and affordable edge computing solution that has enabled a decrease in time spent managing IT infrastructure.”

With Scale Computing HC3, virtualization, edge computing, servers, storage and backup/disaster recovery have been brought into a single, easy-to-use platform. All of the components are built in, including the hypervisor, without the need for any third-party components or licensing. Scale Computing HC3 includes rapid deployment, automated management capabilities, and a single-pane-of-management, helping to streamline and simplify daily tasks, saving time and money.

LGPD: How to comply with the 10 privacy principles

After two years of waiting, the general data protection law (LGPD) will finally come into force in Brazil. The law aims to regulate the processing of personal data, mainly ensuring the security, transparency, and integrity of the data provided.

Since its announcement, it has been widely discussed among companies how to adapt to the rules established by law, as the impact on data processing is enormous for companies to create their communication strategies and protect personal data effectively.

Companies that have not yet adapted to the LGPD are subject to fines of R$ 50 million, which would bring huge losses to any company.

If you have not adjusted yours yet and want to catch up with the damage as soon as possible, we have this article to show you the 10 privacy principles for you to comply with the LGPD, check them out:

Learn More: 7 important details between the LGPD (Brazilian) and the GDPR (European)

10 Privacy Principles

Before you put measures in place to regulate your company, it is important to know the 10 privacy principles that LGPD requires from companies, which are:

  1. Purpose limitation principle: inform the purpose of collecting data from the user.
  2. Adequacy principle: the data will have to be processed in a way that makes sense with the purpose that was informed to the holder.
  3. Necessity principle: request only the information necessary for the fulfillment of its purpose.
  4. Free access principle: give assurance to the personal data holder that they can know the form and duration for which their data will be used.
  5. Quality of data principle: the company will be responsible for the quality of provided.
  6. Transparency principle: the user must receive a notice with a detailed list of how their personal data can be used.
  7. Security principle: a company must have a means to ensure that only authorized people have access to such data.
  8. Prevention principle: data cannot be shared with other companies or people not authorized to process it.
  9. Non-discrimination principle: data cannot be used for illegal purposes.
  10. Accountability principle: it is necessary to have the term that ensures the 10 principles are being followed.

How to Ensure that the 10 Principles are Followed

To ensure the integrity of personal data, your information security team must contribute a lot, since fully protecting personal data is required for the company to have efficient privileged access control.

One that allows only authorized people to access the information and ensures the security from any internal or external threat, in addition to recording all types of actions taken on personal data.

A good way to solve this effectively is by hiring a PAM solution. A good PAM solution manages all the points you need to pay attention to, ensures internal and external security, and even records all actions performed within the databases. If you are curious to know how a PAM solution works, fill out the form below and request the demo.

ESET R&D to launch Cyber Security Academy with the European Migration Agency and the Technical University of Moldova

Bratislava, Iasi – The ESET R&D center in Iasi, Romania, is working with the European Migration Agency (EMA) and the Technical University of Moldova (TUM) in the capital, Chisinau, to launch a new Cyber Security Academy.  The project is currently slated to last for one year (starting in August 2020), after which the most successful graduating students will be offered professional internships at ESET. Another area of the new program’s focus is on talented young women and their futures in information technology.

The European Migration Agency, in cooperation with ESET and the Technical University of Moldova, will renovate and equip a new IT Laboratory, which will subsequently serve as the basis for the new Cyber Security Academy. TUM ranks among the country’s leading universities in terms of cooperation with the private sector.

Along with the creation of the Academy, the project also aims to focus on young women in IT. ESET is co-financing the project with a local Moldovan NGO TEKEDU. The GirlsGoIT program and TEKEDU will support the transition of young women into the ICT sector and organize workshops in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The whole project is co-financed via official development aid by the Slovak Republic, SlovakAid.

“Iasi, where this ESET R&D center is located, used to be for 300 years the historical capital of Moldova and later of Romania; thus, we could not be at a more symbolic nor closer place for both countries. We are very much looking forward to supporting the young IT & cybersec talent from Moldova as part of the freshly launched Academy project, and are looking forward to working with and helping them as professional interns at ESET,” says Andrei Ciubotaru, Managing Director of the Iasi R&D center and Head of Endpoint Security at ESET. “Moreover, we are happy to financially support part of the project focusing on encouraging young and talented women to consider the IT sector as their future workplace,” he adds.

According to EMA, “The main challenge the sector is facing is the lack of skilled workforce, which is compounded by a massive brain drain from Moldova. This creates the opportunity to attract more women into the Moldovan Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, as their representation remains relatively low.” Moreover, the Moldovan ICT sector also faces the challenge of ensuring interconnection of national educational processes with the corporate sector, in order to align with the ever-changing requirements of the labor market.”
