Most of my articles this week were suggested by readers. But I want to start by talking about a question from
Dev Sholz, which was: "I am interested in this whole
HDR, Rec. 2020 stuff. But I do not see a thorough overview including the "if" and "if not" and "better do this than that if." Did I overlook something like this from your site?"
This is a great question and while I cover it in my latest
FCP X 10.4 video training, I haven't written an article about this in a while. The technology is changing very quickly and I need to update my articles. But, with the annual NAB Show coming up in three weeks, I know there will be significant announcements surrounding HDR at the show, so it makes sense to wait a few more weeks before addressing this. Expect more soon - first on our
NAB podcasts - then in updated articles after the show.
Thinking of our podcasts, we have now booked all but two guests for our upcoming
NAB coverage. You can see all our shows and guests
here. We are interviewing
100 industry leaders in four days. All the news and new products - all in one place:
NABShowBuzz.com. We have new shows every hour - listen and discover everything that's news at the show. (And thanks to
Maxon for sponsoring our coverage!)
The Buzz had a great show this week. We interviewed
three Oscar-nominated audio mixers about their work on this year's biggest movies, plus looking at new audio network standards being developed by AES, learn about custom-built, high-performance computer hardware and discover better ways to plan a production. It was a fun show and our guests were great. Take a listen
here.
When it comes to articles, I have five for you this week: two on
Adobe Premiere, two on
Final Cut and recent thoughts on why communication is so hard. A few days ago, I received a press release that was
a train-wreck of missed communication and provides an object lesson to all of us trying to capture the attention of an audience. It's my
lead story this week and I encourage you to read it. I'm interested in your comments.
Oh! Our "Back to Basics Month" continues this week with an introduction to the basics of
editing in Apple Final Cut Pro X. Designed for beginners, I'll walk you through everything you need to know to start editing successfully in FCP X. As always, our live
webinars are free and occur each Wednesday.
Sign up here.
Three weeks and counting till NAB. If you are going to the show, please stop by our booth and say HELLO (
South Lower 10527). I'd love to say HI. In the meantime,
edit well.
