by: 
 1/25/2012 11:04 AM
A slightly different MacBreak Studio Live this month. This time Steve Kantor joins the regulars where they take a look at Avid's Media Composer 6 and how it compares and differs from Final Cut Pro X. It's a good battle! In the blue corner we have Steve Kantor who is demoing Avid, in the Red corner we have Steve Martin who puts up a good fight for FCPX. Mark Spencer acts as referee between the two. Read More

Plus a few other Media Composer 6 bits and pieces

Here’s the link so if you’re interested in what I think is a rather thorough review that tries to go beyond just bullet points and a feature list then please give it a read. Now that I’ve had a couple of months beyond the first kicking the tires reaction here’s a few more MC6 observations. 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

Q: Can you tell us about AJA's technology that supports the new Avid products?

by: 
 1/12/2012 9:40 AM

Hello, 2012: Here Comes Thunderbolt
by: 
 1/09/2012 1:11 PM
2011 saw the introduction of the next great thing in high-speed-data port connections with Apple’s Thunderbolt.

Here we are at the beginning of 2012 with Th Read More
