The new all-in-one Smoke, with its unified editing and effects workflow, can help editors simplify their workflow, centrally manage their media, work interactively with high-res media throughout their projects and deliver high-end content.

Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) introduces Autodesk Smoke 2013 video editing software, a redesigned and repackaged version of the video editing and visual effects tool for the Mac.
