Richard Harrington describes how he reached the decision to switch from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro and why part of his post-production department is running on Windows.

The past few years has forced me to rethink a lot of my business decisions. What I'm going to lay out for you is how I reached the decision to switch from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as why part of my postproduction department is running on Windows. Read More

Avid Media Composer 5.5 Advanced Editing Software Review
by: 
 12/23/2011 10:07 AM
With its top-of-the-line media management tools, generous suite of high-end software, and impeccable history, the Avid Media Composer 5.5 suite is perfect for any editor who is looking to take their editing to the next level.

Ever since introducing Media Composer back in 1989, Avid has claimed a large section of the video editing market by making its editing software a standard for others to live up to. This was due not only to Avid's early foray into the world of nonlinear editing, but as a Read More

Videoguys Year End Wrap-up
by: 
 12/21/2011 10:34 AM
2011 has been quite a year for Videoguys and our industry. Things changed dramatically back in April when Apple gave a first look of their new FCPX editing software during the NAB show in Vegas. I was at the event, and the room was filled with excitement, energy and anticipation. That is until after the Apple presentation. For the professional editors and broadcasters in the room, it left them feeling nervous and uneasy about Apple's commitment to them, their workflows and professional editin Read More

REVIEW: Fast Forward Video Sidekick HD Recorder/Monitor
by: 
 12/20/2011 9:36 AM
Let’s start this review off by dispelling a long-held rumor. I’m a PC guy, just always have been, and after reviewing just about every PC NLE at least once, I have settled on Adobe Premiere Pro (and the CS 5.5 suite) as my editor of choice. Not too long ago, I had a freelance client that absolutely insisted on Apple ProRes files for the output of a project. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow PCs to write ProRes files, and at the time PC’s couldn’t read them either.

Fast-forward a few mon Read More

Your last chance to get Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium for under $1,000!
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:37 PM
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 Read More

Why do production pressures favor Final Cut Pro X?
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:19 PM
I was watching the highly recommended Editor’s Lounge series of videos from the Why we make the Edit night and naturally the discussion turned to the increasing pressure to get work done faster. Derek McCants noted that where once he would have three weeks to cut an allocated segment, the expectation was it would now be done in one week. Read More

Waiting for the "Pro" in "X" means putting "Final" in "...Cut Pro"
by: 
 12/14/2011 1:13 PM
So, if you follow my friends like @JokeandBiagio on Twitter, you’ve figured out that we started out in Hollywood making docs and television shows - basically (and literally) in our apartments. We used Final Cut Pro and we used it like crazy. Had Final Cut Pro not existed I wouldn’t have been able to do so many things that I’ve gotten to do. I am grateful. Read More

Larry's Blog: Where Is Thunderbolt?
by: 
 12/13/2011 12:18 PM
I needed to buy more storage for my editing system – as if needing more storage for video editing is a surprise or something… Anyway, I decided that since one of my editing systems supports Thunderbolt, I would buy a Thunderbolt RAID. Except the only ones on the market seemed to be from Promise Technology. Read More
