This issue releases just about five hours before Apple's annual World-wide Developer Conference (WWDC). I have no idea what they are announcing, so I'll be watching it along with you to see what's new.
I don't expect any video-related announcements at the event. In fact, I contacted ten different developers who create video apps and none of them are going. WWDC is not an event that focuses on high-end media folks. Still, I expect there will some news - hopefully hardware - that we can chat about. I'll post any news I find significant to my blog later on Monday
NOTE: My blog is a separate section on my website. This is where I publish my commentaries.
Take a look - there's lots of stuff here that isn't a tutorial.
Last week's article on the current mess in storage, prompted a very interesting conversation with Rony Sebok, VP for 1 Beyond. She pointed out that Cloud-based storage sounds like a great idea, until you run the numbers. So, this week, I asked Rony to expand her thoughts. You'll find it as our lead article this week.
Recently, I've been getting a lot of questions on shared storage, so, this week, I also wrote a blog that goes into the basics of shared storage and explains the key issues you need to think about. (And thanks, Dakota, for the suggestion!) Here's the link.
There are two transitions - one in Final Cut the other in Premiere - that just drive me NUTS! Worse, they are dangerous. I wrote an article about them: "Making the Best of a Bad Transition." You are welcome to disagree.
I got a lot of good feedback from last week's webinar on how to create simple effects using Adobe Premiere Pro CC. So, this week, I'm doing the same thing for Final Cut Pro X. If you have a friend who's learning Final Cut, and are getting tired of answering their questions - or, if you want to refresh yourself on the fundamentals - this is a great session. As always, registration to our live events is FREE. Sign up here.
Thinking about last week's webinar, I have two video excerpts from it. Adobe made changes to how images are resized. Also, I highlight the differences between creating still frames and hold frames - and provide suggestions on which one to pick for your project. Both are below.
HDR continues in the news and last week, Ars Technica ran an article on new software that allows us to convert any SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) image into HDR. I found it very interesting - here's the link.
The Digital Production Buzz just keeps getting more interesting. Last week, we looked at a variety of ways to do things "better." From new gear to new ways of working. I was especially impressed with John DeBevoise's comments on better ways to run a creative business. Take a listen here.
Well, its about time to grab some popcorn and watch the Apple keynote. Then, we'll spend the rest of this week figuring out what it all means. I look forward to chatting with you next week, in the meantime, edit well.
