Four new articles and a Gift Guide for you this week!

For those of you in the US, I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving weekend.  For me, though, I find myself pacing if I have too many days off in a row. I'm still working to understand this concept of "time off."

We have a new webinar for you this week: " Compare: Adobe Media Encoder with Apple Compressor."  Both AME and Compressor were recently updated, so this seems like a good time to see what the new features are and how they compare. Registration is always free, the details are below.

Also, the Digital Production Buzz looks at plug-ins this week. We will talk with folks from: Red Giant, Toolfarm, NewBlueFX, KeyCode Media and, as always, decipher the current state of our industry with our weekly DoddleNEWS Update.

Thinking of DoddleNEWS, the team over there has assembled a very interesting Gift Guide. I'm adding a link to it in the Articles section. They've uncovered some very interesting products for the filmmaker on your list.

In our articles this week, I have a hands-on look at the ProMAX Platform. More than just shared storage, I was able to use this to help create my recent Final Cut Pro X training. This write-up details what I learned.

The new version of Compressor is having some problems with DVDs. One of my articles looks at what you need to know to create a DVD.

Then, I have two-and-a-half articles on Adobe Audition. I use this program every week to create the Digital Production Buzz. One article is on shortcuts and techniques that make mixing easier. The second is an analysis tool that I use with every mix to determine whether it meets spec. And the third is an update to my article on the Loudness Radar in both Premiere and Audition that does a great job of keeping my mixes in control. (The reason for the update is that I added settings and additional text that explain how to use this meter for mixes heading to the web.)

Well, we only have a few short weeks to work before the holidays are upon us, again. So, until next week, edit well.
