History

Autodesk Toxic is a film compositing software first released in 2007.

Features

Autodesk Toxik includes several features such as collaboration-based workflows, dynamic page zooming (that allows faster processing when working with larger video formats), a paint module, a motion path animation, and a "Master Keyer" module. Toxik is based on modules: small extensions that allow Toxik to be adaptive. All modules were installed in Toxik 2008 by default because the module selection system in Toxik 2007 was inefficient.[http://macanimationpro.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=174488 Autodesk: toxik in my brain] Accessed October 24, 2010[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20091022006771/en/Autodesk-Launches-Autodesk-Toxik-2008-Software-Feature Autodesk Launches Autodesk Toxik 2008 Software Feature Film Visual Effects | Business Wire] Accessed October 24, 2010
