 This past summer Adobe was running a Promotion to get both Mac and PC users to Make the Switch from Apple Final Cut Pro or Avid Media Composer to Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium. The promotion was a tremendous success and it was our most successful Adobe sale in years. However, like all good things, the Switcher promotion came to an end in October.
While doing our year-end inventory in the warehouse we discovered that we had some of the promotional inventory left over. We cost-averaged it wit

 The launch of Apple Final Cut Pro X stood the editing industry on its collective ear. It also sparked some very interesting – and occasionally heated – discussions about what the design of a modern, nonlinear editing application really should be. NLEs that we all use today are a collection of terminology, tools, designs and workflows borrowed from different technologies.

 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

 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. John Buck’s $4.99 book

 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

 Sony Vegas Pro 11 is the latest release and now only runs on Vista and Windows 7. So for professional use let’s just say your only real option with Vegas 11 is Windows 7 as our experience with Vista hasn’t been all sweetness and light.
We installed Vegas Pro 11 on two workstations, an aging HP xw8400 and a factory fresh Dell T7500, basically the difference between an a previous generation 2Ghz Xeon dual core and current generation 2.93GHz quad core. It’s clear that that latest version runni

 A few years ago, no digital SLR cameras shot video. Today, they nearly all do -- and full HD video, at that, as you'll see in our latest report on DSLR cameras. But don't sell your camcorder just yet. Yes, it's a tempting idea: After all, if you want the very best-quality still photos possible, experts say you've got to invest in a DSLR -- but a good one can cost $700 or more (much more).
