Top 5 Video Production Industry Trends – 2011, Part 1
by: 
 12/30/2011 12:51 PM
2011 is drawing to a close and before I start making predictions for 2012, I thought I’d have a look back at 2011 to revisit some of the video industry developments that I thought were the most significant for the segments of the event and corporate video production industry that I work in and cover as a video industry journalist. Now let me be upfront with my biases because they certainly shape my preferences and the perspective in which I see video industry developments. Read More

Videoguys Year End Wrap-up
by: 
 12/21/2011 10:34 AM
2011 has been quite a year for Videoguys and our industry. Things changed dramatically back in April when Apple gave a first look of their new FCPX editing software during the NAB show in Vegas. I was at the event, and the room was filled with excitement, energy and anticipation. That is until after the Apple presentation. For the professional editors and broadcasters in the room, it left them feeling nervous and uneasy about Apple's commitment to them, their workflows and professional editin Read More

REVIEW: Fast Forward Video Sidekick HD Recorder/Monitor
by: 
 12/20/2011 9:36 AM
Let’s start this review off by dispelling a long-held rumor. I’m a PC guy, just always have been, and after reviewing just about every PC NLE at least once, I have settled on Adobe Premiere Pro (and the CS 5.5 suite) as my editor of choice. Not too long ago, I had a freelance client that absolutely insisted on Apple ProRes files for the output of a project. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow PCs to write ProRes files, and at the time PC’s couldn’t read them either.

Fast-forward a few mon Read More

Your last chance to get Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium for under $1,000!
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:37 PM
This past summer Adobe was running a Promotion to get both Mac and PC users to Make the Switch from Apple Final Cut Pro or Avid Media Composer to Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium. The promotion was a tremendous success and it was our most successful Adobe sale in years. However, like all good things, the Switcher promotion came to an end in October.

While doing our year-end inventory in the warehouse we discovered that we had some of the promotional inventory left over. We cost-averaged it wit Read More

NVIDIA Maximus and Premiere Pro CS5.52
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:15 PM
With the advent of version 5.52 of Premiere Pro, Adobe offered support for what NVIDIA calls Maximus on the PC platform. Maximus in essence is a Quadro card combined with a Tesla card. Okay, what’s a Tesla card? Basically, it’s a Quadro card without the display outputs – essentially, a headless GPU processing powerhouse. I wanted to take what I had done with the NVIDIA Quadro card comparison and apply the same tests to the Maximus card set I have. Read on, to learn the results. Read More

Waiting for the "Pro" in "X" means putting "Final" in "...Cut Pro"
by: 
 12/14/2011 1:13 PM
So, if you follow my friends like @JokeandBiagio on Twitter, you’ve figured out that we started out in Hollywood making docs and television shows - basically (and literally) in our apartments. We used Final Cut Pro and we used it like crazy. Had Final Cut Pro not existed I wouldn’t have been able to do so many things that I’ve gotten to do. I am grateful. Read More

Clean those Adobe Media Cache Files
by: 
 12/12/2011 10:17 AM
I learned something today about Adobe Premiere Pro that I was unaware of. The application creates a media cache when it imports media and that media cache seems to default to the system drive in the user Library folder. This cache can balloon in size over a period of time as I found out when cleaning up a drive. But it can be easily cleaned and relocated. Read More
