by: 
 3/19/2010 5:44 PM

There will be no new updates or versions, nor will their be a next generation product that will give the Liquid user base a natural migration path. While Pinnacle Studio will continue to grow and get better, it will not become the mythical Liquid on steroids many were led to believe. The simple reality is that the produ Read More

    It took a lot of commenting and complaining from the many folks who bought a Canon 5D Mark II but unless you live under a rock (or just don’t really care) then you’ve heard that Canon is releasing an updated firmware for the 5D Mark II that will allow for 24p recording Read More

    World’s Greatest Transcoder Avid’s New Mix-and-Match for Media Composer
    by: 
    		 3/12/2010 4:27 PM
    For editors, there’s good news and bad news concerning camera manufacturers. The good news is that a stream of innovative, impressive and technologically amazing new cameras are being rolled out that shoot fantastic new formats for independent filmmakers, DPs and directors of all kinds. The bad news is that we have to edit the footage.

    I was just becoming awesome at transcoding when Avid released its “mix-and-match” feature for Media Composer 4.0. With mix-and-match, any kind of footage c Read More

    In the Field: Producing SDEs with the Canon 5D and 7D
    by: 
    		 3/08/2010 2:49 PM
    If Gebbs Wedding Films' Michael Gebben didn't have a strict personal policy against selling clients on technology, you can bet he'd be bragging about the two most significant additions to his arsenal he's made recently: Canon's 5D Mark II and EOS 7D DSLRs. For Gebben, a rising industry star whose demo was recently selected for use in the nationally syndicated TV show Wedlock or Deadlock, these so-called fusion cameras have made his already great-looking same day edits (SDEs)-his studio's special Read More

    Focus Enhancements FS-H200 & FS-H200 Pro
    by: 
    		 3/08/2010 2:41 PM
    The workflow of today centers on tapeless acquisition. Yet we must remember that it was Focus Enhancements—through its FireStore Direct To Edit products—that led the way to tapeless acquisition even when everyone was exclusively shooting tape.

    In short, the FSH units are wonderful devices for a format that is being superseded. The FS-H200 and FS-H200 Pro should be part of any HDV shooter's toolkit. For the $300 difference, the Pro adds some nice features, but even the $895 original unit pro Read More

    FCP & Avid: The Importance of Knowing Both
    by: 
    		 3/05/2010 11:43 AM
    Knowing both systems is VERY important in today’s post production market. Don’t be labelled as an “FCP Editor” or “Avid Editor.” Just be known as simply, an editor. You need to be known as someone who can use either tool, because that will make you far more marketable. Read More
