 “We are a band and enjoy playing, so I wouldn’t
want the technology to slow us down or get in
the way of our creativity. That’s what I love about
the EDIUS system. It’s easy to use and allows me
to work very fast. Then I can get back to playing
music.”

In Google’s quest to make crappy YouTube video look better, we lost one of the better denoise tools that I had ever used. Red Giant promised at the time, however, that its “team is hard at work developing a new version of D

There was a lot written about this subject but I had a few more questions so I spoke with Bunim/Murray’s sen
