Adobe showcase Premiere Pro CS6 new GUI, new features and it looks very familiar!
by: 
 4/12/2012 10:51 AM
At one minute past midnight EST, Adobe published details about their new version of Premiere Pro CS6. We had the pleasure of a sneak peek a few weeks ago. Why should an FCP based website look at a rival NLE? It is clear that FCPX isn't to everybody's liking and there are customers who have hundreds of FCP7 projects that need updating and won't survive the current transfer tools available. Adobe are clearly going after the editors and post houses that don't want to make the transition to X Read More

Video Encoding and Sorenson Media
by: 
 4/11/2012 4:50 PM
Kurt often gets asked about trends and what Sorenson Media may be working on to address the needs of the video professional/enterprise customer focused on encoding/transcoding. It's probably worth discussing what Sorenson Media is doing today - things that many of you may not be aware of. Our desktop application, Squeeze has been available since 2001 and we released v8 back in November. Additionally, we released a Pro version just recently which added support for Avid DNxHD® encoding, Apple ProR Read More

How Apple Took the ‘Pro’ Out of Final Cut Pro
by: 
 4/11/2012 1:51 PM
Steve Jobs was the greatest product innovator in the last couple of centuries, and his passing saddened me significantly. My appreciation goes back to his storied commencement address at Stanford University, which revealed him to be a deep and thoughtful man. I stand in awe of his incredible string of product successes, including the original Mac, iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, and Apple App Store—not to mention Pixar—as well as his ability to produce maniacal, passionate fans. But that doesn Read More

Using iMacs to replace Desktop Workstations. A consideration.
by: 
 4/09/2012 11:10 AM
If you’ve been following along the past few months, you know we’re testing a very nice Dell Workstation as we plan the immediate future of our company and what computers might replace all the Mac Pros we currently run. Since we’re an Adobe / Avid centric shop now, the Dell shows us how we might work in a cross platform world.

But as I have been using an almost 2 year old 27? iMac in both my Adobe and Avid testing for the past 6 months, the thought dawned on me, why not consider replacing s Read More

by: 
 4/06/2012 2:48 PM
April 2012 update - now with FOUR recommended builds! Thanks to the release of the Intel i7 3820 Quad Core processor, we now have a DIY9 budget build! You can mix & match components between the three DIY9 P9X79 builds (Hot Rod vs Videoguys' Choice vs Budget). For those on a tight budget our DIY8 Sandy Bridge system based on the P8Z68 and i7 2600K processor is still fine choice, but I recommend finding the extra bucks to build our DIY9 budget machine, which comes in at just over $1500!
