Thunderbolt: One year later
by: 
 2/10/2012 4:05 PM
It’s been almost 12 months since Thunderbolt made its debut on the 2011 MacBook Pro. In that time, just a few dozen Thunderbolt products have shipped, to the disappointment of users eager to take advantage of the fast connection. Read More

Apple Reinvents Multicam Editing in Final Cut Pro X v10.0.3 Update
by: 
 1/31/2012 2:01 PM
This morning Apple announced Final Cut Pro X v10.0.3, an update that should close the gap on key features previously found in FCP7 but still missing in FCPX, notably multicam editing and video out support for broadcast video monitoring, both promised last September. The update went live in the Mac App Store this morning at 8:30 am ET/5:30 am PT. It is free to existing users and remains a $299.99 download for new users. Read More

Tech Report: Thunderbolt, SSDs, and Storage Trends for 2012
by: 
 1/31/2012 1:58 PM
With last year's introduction of the Thunderbolt interface, the mobile editing workstation really came into its own. Some observers speculated that the super-high-speed jack, which makes incredibly powerful peripherals truly portable, was a signal of the impending demise of the decidedly non-portable Mac Pro tower.

Thoughts on Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3
by: 
 1/31/2012 1:52 PM
Today Apple released Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 which offers several new features such as multicam and broadcast monitoring (beta) that were previously missing. Looking through the details, it's hard to find anything that would appeal to consumers and it is clear that this is an attempt by Apple to appease at least some of the pros. My first reaction (and the reaction of a lot of people on Twitter) was that this was the version Apple should have released back in June. Read More

Don’t Call It A Comeback – Apple Releases A Big New Update to Final Cut Pro X
by: 
 1/31/2012 1:22 PM
With its release, Final Cut Pro X was widely panned by the professional editing community, who have been leaving their beloved editing system in droves. For most pros, FCP X had the look and feel more in line with iMovie or iPhoto than a professional NLE system. Because of this, Adobe and Avid have been stealing many Final Cut Pro users in the past year with much improved systems of their own. Read More

First look: Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 restores professional features; adds notable new ones
by: 
 1/31/2012 10:47 AM
The June 2011 release of Apple’s new Final Cut Pro X set off a firestorm that reverberated across the globe—at least in video circles. The hotly anticipated new version of Apple's flagship video software was unexpectedly accompanied by the immediate removal of the previous version—Final Cut Pro 7—along with the company's Final Cut Server and Final Cut Express apps, from retail distribution. That alone had longtime users jumping ship from the only nonlinear video editor many of them had ever used Read More

Apple updates Final Cut Pro X
by: 
 1/31/2012 10:23 AM
Apple updated its Final Cut Pro X video editing software this morning with some much-needed improvements. It is a significant update, because Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.3 now appeases to pro editors with two new features, including multi-cam editing that automatically syncs up to 64 angles of video and photos, and broadcast monitoring. The software also advances XML 1.1 support for better plug-in compatibility, and it supports media re-linking while boasting enhanced chroma keying with edge q Read More

Cutting a Feature on a Low Budget with the Software-Only Avid Media Composer
by: 
 1/30/2012 2:54 PM
If any single movie can be identified as the toast of Sundance 2012, it might be The Surrogate, which arrived with little fanfare to tell the bleak-sounding story of the late journalist and poet Mark O'Brien, a quadriplegic polio survivor spending much of his time in an iron lung. But O'Brien had, against the odds, a successful writing career that makes his story inspirational. One of the pieces he left behind dealt with his experience seeking a sexual surrogate. Writer-director Ben Lewin, hi Read More

Studio Daily Review: Avid Media Composer 6
by: 
 1/23/2012 10:52 AM
Though This 64-bit Version Moves Faster and Looks Different, the Overall Workflow Remains, Comfortably, the Same The biggest news for editors when Avid began shipping Media Composer 6 last November was the NLE's transformation into a very modern, 64-bit application. Along with that came other great updates, including the support of third-party hardware options (several of which I tested with this review). Read More
