FCPX is getting better, but still has a long way to go. Videoguys' Options for Final Cut Editors
by: 
 10/20/2011 9:00 AM
On 9/20/11 Apple released their first update to FCPX 10.0.1. While it shows some progress, it doesn't address the main issues and reasons so many Pros have left Apple for Adobe and/or Avid. Below is the original blog post, with new FCPX information added to reflect the latest information.

We first published our Options for Final Cut Pro owners back on June 6th. Two weeks before FCPX was released. We had high hopes for FCPX, based on the Sneak Peak at NAB, but as time wore on, and we heard Read More

by: 
 10/19/2011 12:54 PM
We're getting a lot of calls and questions about our latest DIY recommendations - and requests for a DIY9 build! We've also been participating in some very hot discussions an the Adobe and COW forums about this. I wanted to put this article together to give some insight into why we pick the components we do and what our overall DIY NLE workstation philosophy is.

The bottom line is this. You need a balanced system for best results. Too much of one area at the expense of another hurts perform Read More

    Diving into NVIDIA GPU’s and what they mean for Premiere Pro
    by: 
    		 10/05/2011 9:53 AM
    Trying to quantify the GPU in a Premiere Pro…For the editing and pro community, it is a big deal. It is something that I’ve wanted to do for some time, but I had no idea how complicated and time consuming this would be! I went into this endeavor thinking that I would clearly delineate between different Quadro level cards and along the way understand what each one offered in the way of performance. I was methodical in setting up my system and in trying to create real-world tests that would e Read More

    A few weeks ago, i bought the Sony FS100 and an Atomos Ninja Pro Res recorder. I decided on the Ninja after months of reading up, testing and research. One of the first things i did was update the software to Version 2...this gives you full quality playback which is vital in the field. Read More

    by: 
    		 9/28/2011 12:30 PM
    By now you’ve heard that Wes Plate has joined the Adobe Product Marketing Team. For those who might not know exactly who this guy is, he’s been “the guy” in the industry for years who has made various production tools talk to each other. And not just a simple, “move parts of my projects into something else,” but help the apps talk to each other in a way that brought about very meaningful creative collaborations between artists no matter how what they used.

    Videoguys thoughts on FCPX 10.0.1
    by: 
    		 9/21/2011 2:32 PM
    On 9/20/11 Apple released their first update to FCPX 10.0.1. While it shows some progress, it doesn't address the main issues and reasons so many Pros have left Apple for Adobe and/or Avid. The comments below have been added to our Videoguys' Options for Final Cut Editors blog post, but I felt they were also worth sharing as a new blog post. For me the most important thing in the update isn't actually included in 10.0.1 at all. Rather it is this very important information found at the bo Read More

    The Craft of Editing
    by: 
    		 9/21/2011 11:12 AM
    The craft of video/film/whatever you want to call it is a skill. The operation of a non-linear editing system is one thing but what about the craft? How do you learn what makes a good edit and what doesn't? I don't know if I have the answers but I've cut many projects, with about 65-70% destined for broadcast.

    To me the craft of editing is not only knowing which buttons and knobs to push, tweak, click (which is a part of it, for sure) it's also knowing how to make the images 'sing' (what t Read More

    Apple Releases First Final Cut Pro X Software Update
    by: 
    		 9/20/2011 8:48 PM
    Apple today released the first significant software update to its Final Cut Pro X editing software, which it unveiled to much controversy in late June. In a one-on-one call earlier today with Apple's Richard Townhill, senior director of applications product marketing, we learned more about the 10.0.1 update that includes critical support missing from the original release, notably for XML import and export and Xsan-based workgroup editing. The update is free to existing users and went live in Read More
