I have been using Imaginner systems software like Mokey,Monet,Motor,Mocha and the Shake plug ins for about 2 years now and they make you never want to look at point trackers again .So as some emails have hinted from the company NAB 2008 looks to be a big showing for the new M in the mix Mogul a system and desktop based solutions.

Systems-based

• mogul/serve is a server for shared storage environments that tracks all digital assets and associated metadata. 
•         mogul/browse is the browser that taps into mogul serve. mogul/browse is a cross-platform application giving access to all media and metadata for every station                   connected to mogul/serve and provides powerful search functions to locate this media and track its progress.
• mogul/review is a disk based playback and review system with tools for quality control and making notes. The player is resolution independent and can be used as a              standalone solution or in conjunction with mogul/serve
•         mogul/master is a fully featured finishing system with I/O, 3D compositing, editing and grading tools all seamlessly integrated.
• mogul/traffic is a dedicated I/O system with capture, layback, encoding and job duplication on a dedicated workstation.

Desktop Solutions

• mogul/roto is rotoscoping tool leveraging Imagineer’s planar tracking technology
•         mogul/paint is a 3D vector based paint system based on mogul’s 3D engine
• mogul/comp is a node based compositing app for true 3D compositing with support of OpenFX plug-ins and Python scripting.
