192 Chapter 14 SHOOTING AND EDITING FOR THE ENTERPRISE Organizations love to display charts, tables, and graphs, and you can make them come alive with special effects software. The editor can divide a chart into layers to gradually reveal dif- ferent elements. Using motion and color, the editor can focus the viewer's attention and help present the material in a man- ner that is both pleasing to the eye and easily understood. Commercial software applications that let you produce motion graphics and layering include Adobe After Effects, Apple Shake and Motion, Boris FX, and Sony Vegas Pro. Multiple-Camera Editing As video production moves out of the studio and onto loca- tion, video producers need to have a way to switch among cam- eras to achieve the look of multiple camera angles. While systems such as the Mobile Studios portable switching system can enable the director to achieve a finished video with three camera angles, some producers choose to shoot all the footage on camcorders and perform the "switching" in post.
