Yay! I have the results from our
Uncontest this week! To refresh your memory, for the last two weeks I invited readers to email me their
interface suggestions for Premiere and Final Cut. 53 of you did, generating more than 200 suggestions.
So, this week, I compiled them into two reports: one for
Premiere and the other for
Final Cut. As well, yesterday, I sent personal editions to the development teams for both Premiere and Final Cut so they can add them to the mix as they plan their next versions.
These are my lead stories for this week - you are invited to add your voice in the comments section for each. There are a LOT of good ideas here.
As well, I have
two new videos for
Premiere editors and
two new articles for
Final Cut editors. A positive cornucopia of goodies this week! One of the FCP X articles was suggested by
Fairlie Arrow, asking how to dissolve between compound clips. You can't, but there's a workaround, which I explain this week.
Thinking of goodies, last week's webinar on
Clip Speed Changes was very well received - in one video you can see and compare similar techniques for both Premiere and Final Cut. You'll find it posted to our Video Training Library and ready for
download in our store.
Webinars are taking a break this week for two reasons: One, I can't think of anything to talk about and, two, I'm working on two big product reviews for next week and not doing a webinar allows me time to finish them. If you have suggestions for a webinar topic, please
email me here.
Also, the
Digital Production Buzz is continuing to present really interesting content. This last week, we looked at the process of
creating and editing
documentaries. I especially want to mention the interview with
David Tillman. He has about 20 network credits for editing docs. During our interview, we talked about how he organizes his media to edit an ever-evolving program. All the interviews on this show were good - but I really appreciated the technical details in
David's interview.
REMINDER:
Tom Coughlin opened his annual survey of digital storage requirements and practices for media professionals. This annual survey is our best opportunity to tell storage vendors what we need from them in the coming months. The survey takes about seven minutes to complete and I recommend you share your thoughts.

Well, time for me to get back to work. I enjoy these visits and look forward to chatting again next week. In the meantime,
edit well.
