Oftentimes simple to grasp tools get left behind in favor of more flashy effects and filters. Today I want to talk about a couple of easy tools that will improve the overall polish of your video: the vectorscope and waveform monitor. While clicking around your editing software, you may have stumbled across these screens and quickly clicked away, intimidated Read More

Review: Final Cut Pro 10.0.3
by: 
 4/05/2012 9:21 AM
In Tor's opinion, Apple prematurely released Final Cut Pro X this past June. That’s pretty much why he didn’t opt to review it for Post until now. It just wasn’t ready for prime time. Nor was the professional post market ready to downgrade from Final Cut Pro 7. All that has changed in just a few months, especially with the release of Version 10.0.3. Now with downloadable updates from the App Store, it seems clear that Apple will be making constant improvements to the functionality of the softw Read More

A Vancouver Videographer’s Top 6 predictions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
by: 
 4/04/2012 11:19 AM
Last year was a good one for Adobe. Long time rival Apple and its Final Cut Pro video editing software program arguably left the professional video editing market when they announced Final Cut X at NAB. Well it wasn’t technically at NAB but it was during NAB and in Las Vegas a short monorail ride away from the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Read More

Sony Vegas Pro 11 Review
by: 
 4/03/2012 11:36 AM
With decent basic tools built right into Windows 7, you don't have to look too far to perform casual video editing if you're bound to a PC. But if you work in media or Web-site production, or are the serious go-to person for your entire brood's vacation and event videos, a stiffer solution is in order. Midrange consumer-grade video-editing packages will work for many, but pro-grade programs like Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas Pro are all that will do for folks for whom time spent processing frame Read More

Top 10 Things I Will Miss About FCP
by: 
 3/30/2012 11:59 AM
Shane started his blog in 2005, when he made my leap from editing on an Avid in standard definition…to editing with FCP in high definition…thus the name Little Frog in High Def (Little Frog being his Indian name from my youth). This blog was him talking about his foray into the world of HD specifically using Final Cut Pro…for broadcast TV shows. A diary of my successes and his failures…lessons he wanted to share so that people could learn from my…well, successes and failures. Read More

by: 
 3/29/2012 9:17 AM
It's hard to talk about software in 2012 without mentioning "the cloud". You've seen the ads from sofware vendors asking what your cloud strategy is?

 3/29/2012 9:14 AM
Thankfully (well... this depends upon who you ask) Apple dropped their Final Cut ball and Adobe swooped in to save the day. Now, I've only used FCP a little, mostly cuz I'm PC based and FCP never made a windows version. Read More

by: 
 3/28/2012 3:03 PM
