Top 10 Things I Will Miss About FCP
by: 
 3/30/2012 11:59 AM
Shane started his blog in 2005, when he made my leap from editing on an Avid in standard definition…to editing with FCP in high definition…thus the name Little Frog in High Def (Little Frog being his Indian name from my youth). This blog was him talking about his foray into the world of HD specifically using Final Cut Pro…for broadcast TV shows. A diary of my successes and his failures…lessons he wanted to share so that people could learn from my…well, successes and failures. Read More

Does Cloud Video Editing Make Sense for Pro Video
by: 
 3/29/2012 9:17 AM
It's hard to talk about software in 2012 without mentioning "the cloud". You've seen the ads from sofware vendors asking what your cloud strategy is? With all this hype, it's worth taking a look at the state of cloud video editing and the promise it could hold for Professional Video Editors. Read More

Adobe CS6: Why everyone is (will be) switching!
by: 
 3/29/2012 9:14 AM
Thankfully (well... this depends upon who you ask) Apple dropped their Final Cut ball and Adobe swooped in to save the day. Now, I've only used FCP a little, mostly cuz I'm PC based and FCP never made a windows version. Read More

Because you asked… More on our Switch to Avid MC6
by: 
 3/28/2012 3:03 PM
Our short and sweet blog post yesterday about switching to Avid MC6 for our broadcast work touched off a flurry of requests for yet more information on our decision. Folks want to know “what specific features did it have that the others didn’t.” “Can you break it down feature by feature, why you made the switch?” ”You seemed so gung-ho about Adobe early on in your switch.” Read More

Developer features I will miss from Final Cut Pro 7
by: 
 3/27/2012 1:44 PM
I'm currently working on a feature film that will be my last Final Cut Pro 7 project. I'd just finished implementing a custom solution to automatically log and sort clips as they are brought in, when it suddenly occurred to me that a lot of what I was doing would not be possible in the future with a competing NLE (at least not on the Mac; Sony Vegas has great scripting capabilities).

Crucial Adrenaline adds an SSD cache to your hard drive
by: 
 3/23/2012 11:15 AM
Today I had the opportunity to meet with Crucial and learn about their new Adrenaline product. I am very intrigued by this concept. I see it as being a potential homerun for video editors. Professional NLE apps like Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere take a while to open up. The more plug-ins. pre-sets and fonts you use, the longer it takes the host app to initially open. Talk to someone who uses Photoshop all the time and has tons of fonts, and they'll tell you the same thing. Creative fol Read More
