Chicago, – September 2nd, 2010 – Visual Effects creator DiscreetFX Inc., developer of animated effects elements/transitions for TriCaster's, VT[5]™, SpeedEDIT 2™ & Final Cut Studio 3™ sponsors a contest to give away a NewTek TriCaster™ . Looking for a free TriCaster™ or some extra cash in this tough economic climate? Bored of editing with none NewTek equipment and want a free NT based solution? Make a thirty second to six minute commercial, movie short or promotional video using DiscreetFX's visual transitions and win.
Editing skills and creativity matter more than the length of your video demo. The content of your video does not have to be DiscreetFX themed, you only have to use a few of our video effects in your production. Bonus consideration will be given if your able to incorporate our registered trademark character Hottie® into your production in a creative way. Runner up prizes will also be offered including SpeedEDIT 2 and lovely cold hard cash. Win a cool original TriCaster from us just using your VT[5]™ or SpeedEDIT 2™ editing skills. We prefer you use a VT[5]™ , SpeedEDIT 2™ or even a TriCaster™ to edit the project. We won't get made if you use Final Cut Studio 3™ . We will be extra impressed if you use an Amiga Video Toaster Flyer and your not allowed to use Premiere. Content is king and the skill and creative elements of the video matter the most.
The winner of the contest will have several opportunity's for more paid video editing work in the future. Official contest rules are listed below. Winners will be announced at DiscreetFX's first trade show; The 2011 Creative Extreme Expo (http://www.discreetfx.com/CreativeExtremeExpo.html).

I'd like to win the "(7th Place) McDonalds® Happy Meal®" :drink: miam :biglaugh:
Is that TriCaster will be able to help me make burgers and coffee? :banana:

If I win the 7th prize could i have a vegeburger instead? I don't eat corpses from any animal.
...and don't act suprised that I'm a vegetarian, what did you expect from someone who uses the name "Tripitaka".

Wish I had the extra time, sounds like a great contest. The old 3000 flyer could stand a workout. Good luck to the participants.
