Autodesk has begun previewing a Mac OS X version of its Smoke finishing and editing system.

Unveiled at the InterBEE exhibition in Japan this week, it is the first Autodesk finishing product to be designed to run on the Apple platform.

Once released it is expected to cost around US $15,000.

Broadcasters and post houses attending the show were given presentations that detail how Smoke 2010’s integrated toolset for editorial finishing can help them be more efficient.
