This will be the first of a two part entry. Here, I will outline the challenges that broadcasters are facing and how Adobe can help address them. In the second part, I'll provide some feedback I've gotten from executives on their bu

 Avid just isn’t slowing down. I advised them that they just needed to slow down. But did they listen? Nope. Why slow down? Because just as soon as you get used to one version, another version comes along and has tons more features that you want. And when you JUST CONVINCE a company to upgrade to one version of Media Composer, you might be hard pressed to get them to do it again. Many large facilities don’t upgrade often, so when Avid keeps hitting us with new release after new release, we might

 With the announcement of Adobe’s new version of their Creative Suite, CS5, they are delivering a new version of Premiere Pro. This review is based on a beta version of Premiere Pro CS5 but from my time spent working with the program it was much more stable that much of my Premiere Pro CS4 experience, and very fast. I think it’s safe to say that this beta version of the software that Adobe delivered to the press ahead of its April 12 launch was a nearly finished version, minus some documentation,

 I have been an Avid editor for at least 10 years now, but I always thought that they were catering to their higher-end users and news stations – not people like me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It appears that Avid is listening to their user base, and it definitely shows in Media Composer version 5. First the big news – Avid now supports third-party hardware! I couldn’t believe it! Don’t get me wrong, I love working on an Adrenaline just like the next guy, but I definitely couldn’t affo

 Rather than tell you my favorite new features of Premiere Pro CS5 and the new video suite, I’d thought I’d blog about some comments I heard on the NAB show floor today.
