Today’s video production workflows benefit tremendously from applications that are architected and optimized for 64-bit operating systems. You can experience 50% to 200% faster high-definition (HD) workflows moving from 32-bit with 4GB of RAM to 64-bit with 16GB of RAM. Performance gains include increased editing speed, rapid switching among tools, and faster rendering—all of which give you more time to be creative with CS4 Production Premium. ( Read More)

The technology is here today for you to produce your full
length features using video!
In recent years the production of independent films and videos has greatly increased due to many contributing technologies. The internet has allowed the independent producer the opportunity to achieve broad distribution of their product for little or no cost. This is the same phenomenon that created the buzz which launched "The Blair Witch Project" into commercial success and have given many small-town ban ( Read More)

One of the things I like best about NAB is the chance to see all the new hardware coming down the road for video editing and production. Over the past few years computers have become so powerful that we can edit DV footage extremely well with just software alone. With the move to HD the software can handle the footage, but it takes some extra hardware to get the job done right. This can be as simple as some additional storage, an I/O board or a hardware accelerator. At this years NAB there were ( Read More)

This year’s NAB started for us on Saturday, April 14th, two days before the actual show opened! We spent our weekend attending dealer and user events for with our vendors. The advantage of these events is that you get to spend a good amount of time watching presentations about the road map and new products for each company. These meetings are very cool and they tend to set the tone for the coming week. While Adobe, Avid and Apple all had very exciting news to share, we walked away realizing tha ( Read More)

This year’s NAB show was very different from the last couple of years. Unlike the previous 2 shows, this year we saw a bunch of exciting new products that will be shipping within the next few months! That’s right folks, we’ve finally turned a big corner. We didn’t spend time looking at products we may sell in the future, we spent our time seeing products that our customers will be able to buy and use almost immediately. ( Read More)

We’ve got a very exciting and informative new article on our website this month. Douglas Spotted Eagle (aka Spot, DSE), is one of the more well known online experts in our industry.

The big buzz at this year’s NAB was High Definition TV (HDTV), in all its glorious flavors. Many folks don’t realize that not all HD signals are created equal, and not all televisions that claim to be HD have the same quality images. There are two key variables in understanding HD image quality. The first is the lines of resolution. This is pretty straightforward; the more lines of resolution, the more detailed the image. The next variable is the type of scanning used. Interlaced scan is what we ( Read More)

Ironically, our industry appears to be following the same growth pattern as the city of high rollers. A few years ago Las Vegas wanted to be more consumer oriented and broader, while today the growth is clearly upwards and more high end. The same can be said for Desk Top Video Editing. Over the past few years we have seen an explosion in affordable, yet powerful hardware and software that brought non linear editing to the masses. At this year's NAB, the emphasis was in a shift towards the 'hi-en ( Read More)
