Wētā FX Elevates VFX in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Wētā FX pushed VFX to new heights in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes by enhancing their in-house tool, Loki, for ultra-realistic fire, water, and destruction effects. From slow-motion flames to dynamic plant movement and raging rapids, every scene was meticulously crafted. Their epic flood sequence blended CG water, debris, and molten metal with high-resolution simulations for stunning realism. Wētā FX once again set the bar for cinematic visual effects!

Start using subclips for your edits.

Ever stared at a 2-hour interview clip knowing you only need three specific moments? That’s where subclips come in to save your sanity. Think of them as bookmarks for your favorite parts of a clip – they help you find exactly what you need without digging through hours of footage multiple times.

Creating subclips is super simple.

From the Media Page: In the Media page, double-click the clip you want to work with – it’ll pop up in your viewer. Now comes the fun part: use the ‘I’ key to mark where you want your clip to start, and ‘O’ for where it ends. Drag from the viewer to the bottom half of the screen aka your project files, you can drop it into any bin or the master bin. You should then see a pop up name the subclip something you’ll remember, and you’re all set!

From the Edit Page: Find your clip in the Media Pool, double-click it, and it’ll show up in the Timeline Viewer or the Source Viewer if you have dual viewer mode on. Just like before, mark your in and out points with ‘I’ and ‘O’. Drag from the Viewer into the timeline or the media pool and set a name then click “Create”, and there you have it!

Here’s what I love most about subclips: they don’t mess with your original footage at all. It’s like having a slice of pizza – you’re not changing the whole pie, just working with the piece you want. Plus, if you ever need more of the original clip, you can always convert your subclip back to a full clip with a quick right-click.

Quick tip: I like to name my subclips with specific details like “Interview_MainPoint” or “BRoll_Sunset” – makes life so much easier when you’re deep in editing mode and need to find that perfect moment.

Keep creating, stay curious, and never stop pushing your creative boundaries!

Stay creative,
