I blogged on a tutorial from Event DV around editing workflows with AVCHD. In that same issue, contributor Jan Ozer wrote an article called CS4 at 64 that delves into the differences that he observed between Adobe applications and how they perform differently between 32bit Windows XP and 64bit Windows Vista.
For me, it’s clear that 64 bit operating systems are becoming more mainstream - or at least among content creators. ( Read More)

Recently, I had the opportunity in Boston to do something I had never done before: a “Non-linear editing shootout!” I agreed to do it with some trepidation because such things can be skewed or slanted. My concern was that this thing be thought out with objectivity because the simple fact is that unless the format is laid out properly, chances are one NLE will stand out from the others and no one will get the benefit of seeing what an individual product can do.Suffice it to say that it turned out ( Read More)

Really, all I wanted to do was create a slideshow of photos I'd taken during my oldest daughter's final varsity high school volleyball season. I'd built a similar slideshow last year using Avid's Pinnacle Studio Pro 11, but was left unsatisfied due to Pinnacle's quirky user interface and a host of annoying bugs, including one which prevented me from burning a DVD that would be playable in standard consumer DVD players.

This month, we're looking at how Nvidia's Quadro CX technology (around $2,000 at Videoguys) can accelerate performance in Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4). In the first installment, we learned about why having a powerful graphics card wasn't all that important to previous versions of the Adobe Create Suite, and how CS4's embracing of OpenGL makes graphics performance important again. However, we also saw that Adobe had certified Nvidia's GeForce GTX 260 for use with After Effects and Photoshop, and ( Read More)

Last month, we compared Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) performance on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems, finding that 64-bit proved superior in nearly all tests (see part 1 and part 2).
