Plus a few other Media Composer 6 bits and pieces

Last week a review that I wrote of Avid Media Composer 6 went online over at Studio Daily. 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.

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

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.

If there's one thing that stifles creative energy with deadly effectiveness, it's having to wait. That's why the new GPU-accelerated features in Sony's Vegas Pro 11 video-editing application ($600 as of January 3, 2012) are more welcome than pretty much anything else Sony could have done for this application.

2011 saw the introduction of the next great thing in high-speed-data port connections with Apple’s Thunderbolt.

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

2011 was a banner year for filmmaking tools In a landmark year for production and post-production gear, 2011 will most likely be remembered for the tragic events in Northern Japan. Although minor compared to the devastation and loss of life, all the major camera manufacturers (Sony, Canon, Panasonic, etc.) were greatly affected by the disaster leaving factories badly damaged, which disrupted production and distribution for the entire year.
