Akaba is a program for manually editing individual
frames or whole video scenes. "Akaba - New Concept" is a totally new
program optimized for video editing. It provides a whole variety of
options for retouching and editing individual frames or enhancing
them using your own graphics.

Three modes of operation make it easy to use:
• Retouch mode allows you to select and
manually edit every single frame in a scene. The supplied tools can
be used to easily disguise small dropouts or other unwanted
elements. Special copy brushes are provided alongside the standard
drawing tools.
• An image correction mode lets you correct such things as
brightness, contrast, color and RGB. What is more, the corrections
do not necessarily need to be applied to the whole frame - instead
you can choose to apply them only to defined areas of the image and
even with varying intensity. If, for instance, your recording is too
dark in the lower part of the picture but the sky is well lit, you
can correct the problem easily using the mask function included in
"Akaba – New Concept".
• The Drawmode provides all the standard options for creating
drawings. You can draw lines, circles, polygons and other shapes
using a wide variety of tools and customizable settings. You can
create graphics or unusual titles. If you like, you can then make
your graphics move across the scene – similar to the feature
provided by our "PIP-Studio" software.
Drawing mode provides many different types of pencils and brushes
that can be customized to suit your needs. In this example, we cut
the fish out of a video image and then defined it as a brush so that
we can make a scaled down mirror image of it and insert it into
another video.
As you may already be familiar with from PIP Studio, you can make
objects move along predefined paths as well as along paths that you
have defined yourself. You can set the object's size and alpha value
for every waypoint and therefore make the object do such things as
fade in gently.
Use the "Draw mode" to paint objects (in this case:
green) and then replace the color with a different video scene using
the bluebox effect.
Akaba New Concept for the Casablanca Avio, Prestige
and Kron PLUS requires Smart Edit 2.3. Akaba New Concept is
available from VideoEditSystems.com for $235 or less.
