Videoguys Recommended Laptops for Video Editing
by: 
 8/04/2011 1:32 PM
We get asked all the time about what laptops we recommend for video editing. This is a more difficult question to answer, because unlike a desktop, you are very limited in what upgrades and changes you can make after you buy it. So we are not going to recommend any specific models, but rather what brands of laptops we recommend and the model family they fit into. Read More

It’s strange how Apple appears to be pulling back from the professional software space but continues to push the professional hardware space to its’ limits. That’s what they’ve been doing with Thunderbolt. If you haven’t already heard, Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. It was developed by Intel but brought to market with a collaboration from Apple. You can see more information on the Intel Thunderb Read More

FCPX vs. Premiere Pro CS5.5 for Final Cut Pro 7 Editors
by: 
 7/27/2011 12:33 PM
If you're an event videographer who uses Final Cut Pro 7, you've probably been pretty comfortable that you chose the right tool for the job. Final Cut Pro 7 is highly functional, flexible, and it has great third-party hardware and software support. Beyond notable feature gaps such as full-featured Blu-ray authoring, it pretty much does what that you need it to do. That said, it's been four years since the last significant upgrade, and Final Cut Pro 7 is a 32-bit tool in a 64-bit world. Log and Read More

DIY Update: Sandy Bridge - Getting closer with the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
by: 
 7/25/2011 1:52 PM
Over the past few months we've taken some heat on some NLE user forums for our recommendation to NOT use Sandy Bridge CPUs for building your NLE workstation. We didn't take this lightly and we understood the frustration it would create for people wanting to build a new NLE workstation. You want to use the latest technology and take advantage of the speed and performance per dollar of the Sandy bridge CPUs.

Our Sandy Bridge concerns where not about the CPU, but rather the available chipsets Read More

 6/30/2011 1:47 PM
The 4th of July means barbecues, family gathering and fun in the sun and the party concludes with the traditional pyro- show around the country. Everyone wants to capture the family fun, but when it comes to the Big Light Show in the Sky, shooting great firework footage is more than pointing the camera into the sky.
