Avid - The Professional's Choice. Always was. It's that simple.
by: 
 8/24/2011 12:51 AM
Avid listens to their customers.
A few years ago Avid did something unprecedented in our industry that many editors may have forgotten about. They took their show on the road. It wasn't actually a road show as much as it was a chance for their top management to visit with post-houses, professional editors, indie film makers and user groups. They asked what Avid needed to fix and when they asked for honest feedback, they sure got it! What did Avid do with this information? They used Read More

Adobe gets it and Adobe wants you.

When Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 was launched more than two years ago, the message was clear that Adobe was taking Premiere Pro into the professional market segment. This is not your father's Adobe Premiere, it is a powerful NLE designed to handle the most challenging professional projects. They were the first NLE developer to commit to an all new 64-bit architecture and native HD format support. Adobe harnessed all of the power in your computer, multiple CPU cores, huge amounts of RAM and even you Read More

    Production Hub: Q&A with Gary Bettan from Videoguys
    by: 
    		 8/16/2011 3:33 PM
    Q: What are the latest trends you're seeing in production and post production?
    A: The biggest trend in Post Production is the decision that many Apple Final Cut Pro editors are faced with, now that FCPX is available. We are spending a lot of time talking to our customers about the many options available to them. Adobe and Avid are both offering special "switcher" or "crossgrade" promotions with discounts at 50% or more. We've seen great interest from all levels of customer’s especially po Read More

    MAKING THE SWITCH - From Apple to Adobe via a Windows 7 PC
    by: 
    		 8/11/2011 11:13 AM
    Years ago I bought a Macintosh. It was blue, white, and had this new thing called a firewire port. And the software I bought to edit with? Adobe Premiere.

    But fortunes change. Adobe had to abandon Premiere for Mac, so I switched to Final Cut Express nearly a decade ago. Then I upgraded to Final Cut Pro. Then the aging G3 turned into a G4. Then finally a G5. And Final Cut Pro. . . er, Final Cut Studio, followed me wherever I cut. Read More

    by: 
    		 8/08/2011 12:38 PM
    Choosing a Platform - Mac or PC: The first question a user is faced with is what platform to run Media Composer on. It is possible that your current computer system will meet the requirements for Media Composer but it is also possible upgrades or additional hardware may be required. Avid has tested and qualified specific system requirements on both Macintosh and PC platforms and recommends that you use configurations that meet these Avid-tested specifications for CPU, graphics cards, Firewire Read More

    DIY Update: Sandy Bridge - Getting closer with the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
    by: 
    		 7/25/2011 1:52 PM
    Over the past few months we've taken some heat on some NLE user forums for our recommendation to NOT use Sandy Bridge CPUs for building your NLE workstation. We didn't take this lightly and we understood the frustration it would create for people wanting to build a new NLE workstation. You want to use the latest technology and take advantage of the speed and performance per dollar of the Sandy bridge CPUs.

    Our Sandy Bridge concerns where not about the CPU, but rather the available chipsets Read More

    TV Tech: Has Apple Abandoned the Pro Market?
    by: 
    		 7/20/2011 11:58 AM
    Apple has kicked up what may be a game-changing firestorm with the release of the long-awaited next incarnation of its editing software called Final Cut Pro X. At the NAB Show—even though they were not an official exhibitor—Apple managed to steal headlines by announcing Final Cut Pro X (properly pronounced "10" rather than "ecks") during the Las Vegas user group's 10th annual SuperMeet gathering.
