Why do production pressures favor Final Cut Pro X?
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:19 PM
I was watching the highly recommended Editor’s Lounge series of videos from the Why we make the Edit night and naturally the discussion turned to the increasing pressure to get work done faster. Derek McCants noted that where once he would have three weeks to cut an allocated segment, the expectation was it would now be done in one week. 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

You already own an amazing tool to optimize all kinds of video output and streamline your workflow.

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

by: 
 12/09/2011 3:14 PM
Over the past year Videoguys.com have taken some heat in some online tech forums and communities. We were very late to embrace the original Sandy Bridge processors and even when we did recommend one, it was with some caveats.

The Music Licensing Chickens Have Come Home to Roost in Wedding and Event Videography
by: 
 12/09/2011 11:33 AM
One of the first questions a “new born” wedding videographer will undoubtedly ask is “I have this bride who wants to use [insert popular music artist of the day] for her wedding video. Can I use it if she gives it to me?” Or, “Can I use it if I buy it on iTunes?” Or some version thereof. Just for the record. The answer is unequivocally “NO!” (If you want the 4-1-1 on music licensing, I have a pretty thorough blog post on the topic, along with links to all the popular sites for legally licensing Read More

How Final Cut Ended up at Apple
by: 
 12/09/2011 11:26 AM
Did you know Final Cut wasn’t actually an Apple product but a Windows program written by Macromedia that Apple purchased? Did you know Apple purchasing Final Cut was a result of Adobe rebuffing Apple over a Mac version of Premiere? Did you know Apple was in danger of going under when it purchased Final Cut? Even if you already knew all of these things, the particulars of how Final Cut ended up in Apple’s hands is a fascinating story for anyone interested in video editing.

Avid Media Composer 6 - Is it Right for Your School
by: 
 12/08/2011 1:50 PM
When Avid released its new and improved version of Media Composer Version 6 they really meant “new and improved.” It was a complete re-write of the “under the hood” code to bring MC6 into the 64-bit world and a freshening up of the user interface. For those familiar with Avid, don’t worry it wasn’t a complete overhaul of the interface. The new MC6 will feel like a comfortable pair of shoes, but this pair of “shoes” is built for speed. In fact, if you take a look at the “What’s New In Media Compo Read More
