2011 has been quite a year for Videoguys and our industry. Things changed dramatically back in April when Apple gave a first look of their new FCPX editing software during the NAB show in Vegas. I was at the event, and the room was filled with excitement, energy and anticipation. That is until after the Apple presentation. For the professional editors and broadcasters in the room, it left them feeling nervous and uneasy about Apple's commitment to them, their workflows and professional editin Read More

The launch of Apple Final Cut Pro X stood the editing industry on its collective ear. It also sparked some very interesting – and occasionally heated – discussions about what the design of a modern, nonlinear editing application really should be. NLEs that we all use today are a collection of terminology, tools, designs and workflows borrowed from different technologies. Read More

Over the past year Videoguys.com have taken some heat in some online tech forums and communities. We were very late to embrace the original Sandy Bridge processors and even when we did recommend one, it was with some caveats.

Videoguys now recommends the Sandy Bridge-E processor with X79 chipset! Read More

Sony Vegas Pro 11 is the latest release and now only runs on Vista and Windows 7. So for professional use let’s just say your only real option with Vegas 11 is Windows 7 as our experience with Vista hasn’t been all sweetness and light.

We installed Vegas Pro 11 on two workstations, an aging HP xw8400 and a factory fresh Dell T7500, basically the difference between an a previous generation 2Ghz Xeon dual core and current generation 2.93GHz quad core. It’s clear that that latest version runni Read More

A few years ago, no digital SLR cameras shot video. Today, they nearly all do -- and full HD video, at that, as you'll see in our latest report on DSLR cameras. But don't sell your camcorder just yet. Yes, it's a tempting idea: After all, if you want the very best-quality still photos possible, experts say you've got to invest in a DSLR -- but a good one can cost $700 or more (much more). So why not make it do double-duty? Unfortunately, tests show that every DSLR suffers from at least one major Read More

Many of us have been editing with FCP for a few years now and were exited when Apple finally decided to re-write FCP from the ground up finally giving us a 64bit architecture, FCP only works on the Apple Mac so if you are intrenched as most of us are in the Mac platform the alternatives are AVID and Adobe’s Premiere Pro. Sadly, Final Cut Pro has been haemorrhaging professional customers to AVID and Adobe since the introduction of FCP-10. Walter Murch reckons he has finally reached the end of Read More

Massive performance improvements are worth the upgrade alone; an outstanding update to a classy, powerful editor

It’s a little disconcerting when a software publisher releases an update but doesn’t bother to put a list of new features on its website. We half expected Vegas Pro 11 to be a damp squib, but the truth is quite the opposite. Read More
