You must have a great deal of patience to be an editor. There is not a one of use who has not said to their companions," I'm just finishing this up, will be there in 15 minutes tops.", only to find themselves still at work in the editing bay 4 hours later. Heck, once you're in the zone you just can't leave. Even more so, you must have the patience of a bona vide saint to be a Rotoscoper.

 Once again Avid have jumped ahead of Apple with their new updated Media Composer 5. Avid are looking to steal back some FCP editors with their new updated editing software. CS5 Premiere Pro is also tempting FCP users so my advice for Apple is “GET YOU FINGER OUT” !

 The range of the video editing software market has been remarkably stable over the past decade or so, with a clear divide between "consumer" tools in the $50 to $100 to $150 range, and "professional" tools from the likes of Adobe, Apple, Avid and Sony, starting at around $700 to $800.

 My job here as a writer for NotebookReview is to distill complicated information into something that the average consumer can understand. Most things computer-related have some kind of basic analogy anyone can grasp, but video editing is wholly its own entity. The basic workflow is simple and logical to me because I've been doing it for nearly a decade now. How do you quickly convey it to someone who's completely new at it?

 When you think of Adobe's Creative Suite software, "inexpensive" is not the first word that comes to mind. Its flagship (and most famous) app, Photoshop, can cost from $699 to $999 to buy new—and that's just by itself. The collections of various apps (also bought new) run from $1,299 for the relatively modest Design Standard to $2,599 for the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink Master Collection. True, you can save hundreds of dollars if you're upgrading from previous versions.

 If you’ve read some of my past articles about RED, you know I’m not a huge fan of “native” editing using the camera raw files as source clips. I find that an offline/online workflow is still best for smoothly editing RED projects, yet it still retains access to the raw color data during the finishing process. Previously I discussed an easy workflow for Apple Final Cut Pro and Color users, but this isn’t the only solution. As you know, Avid Media Composer 5 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 have both in

 To faithfully translate Gilbert’s journey from page to screen, the filmmakers lobbied to shoot the movie entirely on location in chronological order. And after nine months of intense scouting and preproduction planning, Murphy led 40 cast and crew members — including Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson — on a four-and-a-half month rolling production effort that generated 422,000 feet of film, or roughly 70 hours of footage.

 There are clear indications that this update resulted from reorganizing, rewriting and modernizing major portions of the underlying code.
At first glance, the user interface may appear to have changed little from previous versions of Media Composer. However, a closer examination reveals the addition of some new tools, and updated functionality in older ones. The new “Smart Tool” pane in the Timeline window is the most obvious addition. In it sit the segment and trim overwrite/ insert mode to
