Apple releases Shake 4.1

Apple today announced Shake 4.1, the first Universal version of its industry leading compositing software and cut its price from USD$2,999 to USD$499 to fit almost any production’s budget. Final Cut Studio editors can now take advantage of Shake for sophisticated 3D compositing, keying, image tracking and stabilization for the price of a plug-in. Shake continues to be the tool of choice for major motion-picture studios and leading effects houses to create award-winning visual effects including this year’s Oscar winner, “King Kong.”

Shake 4.1 is now available through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of USD$499. Owners of Shake 4 can take advantage of a crossgrade to Shake 4.1 for just USD$49. Apple will no longer sell the Apple Maintenance Program for Shake.
