Avid Media Composer 6 review online
by: 
 1/24/2012 1:05 PM
Plus a few other Media Composer 6 bits and pieces

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

by:

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

by: 
 1/12/2012 9:40 AM
Before you lose it on set or fix it in post, follow these simple guidelines to keep everything moving smoothly It’s no surprise that rapid changes in technology and dramatic drops in budgets have forced many experienced producers out of their comfort zones and into uncharted waters.

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. It really is a cool technology that could very well make the multi-cable peripheral-connection spaghetti-mess a thing of the past. The kind of speed that Thunderbolt is capable of delivering would be most at home on the digital professional’s desktop, so it’s video and photography folks who will most likely be adopting this technology first. Here we are at the beginning of 2012 with Th Read More

by:

2011 is drawing to a close and before I start making predictions for 2012, I thought I’d have a look back at 2011 to revisit some of the video industry developments that I thought were the most significant for the segments of the event and corporate video production industry that I work in and cover as a video industry journalist.
