Review: HP Z1 All-in-One Workstation
by: 
 5/23/2012 4:33 PM
There are three constants in life—death, taxes, and oversized workstations. Why are workstations so large? They need breathing space for their powerful components, which could overheat if they aren’t cooled properly. As a result, no one had successfully designed an all-in-one workstation. Apart from squeezing everything into what is essentially the back of a monitor, there’s this vexing problem of how to disperse the heat. If the components are just inches from your face, you would have to liste Read More

Hitachi G-RAID With Thunderbolt Review (8TB)
by: 
 5/18/2012 9:16 AM
Hitachi's G-Technology line of external hard drives has long been a favorite for creative professionals and others who generally need some combination of reliability, performance, capacity and redundancy.

The G-RAID with Thunderbolt offers up to 4TB of capacity over two mirrored drives, or 8TB if configured f Read More

geebeebee media on Adobe CS6
by: 
 5/15/2012 11:19 AM
Overall, with the release of CS6, Adobe have delivered us an awesomely powerful set of tools, with many useful, time-saving and creative features that far surpass what many other 'software suites' offer. The wheel has not been re-invented here, but the tyre's been upgraded, the rim strengthened and the alloy very much pimped! (Ed: please...no more metaphors!) Here at Fraktiv - and through our new venture at geebeebee media - we're already putting CS6 through its paces on several more edits Read More

by: 
 5/14/2012 10:40 AM
Last week Rich wrote about his decision to switch from FCP7 to a combination of Premiere Pro and Media Composer instead of FCP X. Since then, Adobe released Premiere Pro CS6 (along with all the other CS6 tools) and a number of people have published first looks or accounts of switching to the increasingly popular NLE. Here is an annotated roundup of the best of those articles, as well as, some resources on how to get started if you are unfamiliar with Premiere Pro. Read More

Premiere Pro CS6 New and Missing Features
by: 
 5/08/2012 9:56 AM
Being a Final Cut Pro 7 editor converting to Premiere Pro I had a laundry list of things that I was hoping would be added to CS6, several of which I figured were no brainers in order to to fix up an editing program which was most of the way there but still had a ton of really odd and un-user friendly design choices. So of my list what has been fixed and what has not? Read More

Sorenson Squeeze 8 Review
by: 
 5/03/2012 12:29 PM
Our review of Sorenson Squeeze 8 is similar to our previous review of Squeeze 7 and much of what we wrote still applies to Squeeze 8. The latest rev of Sorenson Squeeze looks and feels the same and is an evolution of the professional compression suite with robust support for the most widely used codecs for broadcast, web and mobile platforms as well as physical media. We'll focus on the new features versus the nuts and bults which you can read in our previous review. Read More

Random notes from my first “real world” Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 edit
by: 
 5/01/2012 12:08 PM
Scott was fortunate to get his hands on an early release of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and an edit that came up last week seemed like the perfect place to test it out. It wasn’t an overly complex edit, a 3 minute piece shot on RED with interviews and b-roll. He cut the offline and it will then go to an After Effects artist for some fancy graphics and Baselight for color grading. As he was taking notes on the new version of Premiere Pro for an upcoming review he thought it might be interesting to jus Read More

Game Change: Avid Media Composer Advice for the FCP 'Switcher'
by: 
 4/30/2012 2:40 PM
The new (or renewed) interest in Avid Media Composer is being fueled by Apple’s launch of Final Cut Pro X last year and aided by Avid’s discounted cross-grade price. Many experienced FCP editors are now investigating the nuances of what seems like a completely foreign interface to some. Tutorial DVDs like Steve Hullfish’s Avid Media Composer for Final Cut Pro Users from Class on Demand is a great start. Read More
