I truly enjoy reading your emails and comments. For example, webinars restart this week and both sessions this week and next were suggested by readers. Also, two of my three articles this week began as email.

Let's start with webinars. Last week, Coleen sent me a note asking if I could cover how to work with stills in Final Cut Pro X. I checked my records and realized that the last time I talked about this was over three years ago. Clearly, time for an update. Registration is free - click here to learn more about this Wednesday's session and signup.

Then, next week, Wednesday, May 24, I'm covering multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X - this session was suggested by Richard. This doesn't appear on my webinar page - yet - but you can sign up early. Click here to register for the 9 AM presentation, and here's the link for the session at 12 PM. Registration for all my live events is free. I look forward to sharing these with you.

Next, if you haven't listened to the Digital Production Buzz recently, it's time to stop by for another listen. Last week, we had our experts share their thoughts on key highlights from last month's NAB show. What surprised me was that none of them agreed! Listen to Ned Soltz, Philip Hodgetts, Michele Yamazaki, Michael Kammes and James DeRuvo discuss the important news from NAB. Click here to listen - or, if you are in a hurry, read the show transcript.

Thinking of The Buzz, reminds me that two articles this week are about Adobe Audition (and Premiere, too, come to think of it). I enjoy using the program and keep looking for ways to make it run faster. This week, the article on markers reveals some of the secrets of the program - and, more importantly, suggests what Adobe can do to improve it even more. Adobe is doing an increasingly good job of listening to their users and adding features based on our comments.

Finally, my article on timecode is one I've wanted to write for a while and finally had the time to do so.

Summer is getting closer, but there's still work to be done. Please keep writing - I always enjoy hearing from you. In the meantime, edit well.
