It's the end of August and school is starting for many - though, for those of us who've been in the industry awhile, it seems like everyday is a day to learn something new.
Still, I thought it would be worthwhile, as we wait for the industry to gear back up after summer, to write some
basic truths about video editing using either Adobe
Premiere Pro CC or Apple
Final Cut Pro X. So, those are my two stories this week; not how the technology works, but how we, as editors, need to work with the technology.
I encourage you to add your own thoughts as comments to the two articles.
As summer winds to a close, it's time to take stock of where we are and where we're going. That was the focus of the
Digital Production Buzz podcast last week. We featured conversations with
Philip Hodgetts,
Ned Soltz, and
Michael Kammes all thinking about what the second half of the year may hold.
But, for me, the centerpiece was a conversation with
Mark Spencer, creative partner with Ripple Training. I've known Mark for more than 15 years. We got into a conversation about training that flowed into why he's been creating FCP X plugins for the last several years. Then, the conversation turned to how we can
make money in media. Over the last several years, this has gotten harder for many of us. I really appreciated Mark's comments and I think you'll enjoy them as well. Listen to the
show here.
Writing about training reminds me that webinars will be re-starting in a few weeks and I'm looking for suggestions on what to cover. Over the last several years, I've created almost 300 hours of webinar training. I'm looking for some new subjects to cover. Please
email your ideas to me
here.
School starts tomorrow, for me. Then comes fall with new products to discover, review and share. Still, there are a few weeks to wait. Meanwhile,
edit well
