There was a quote in the Los Angeles Times on Sunday that I thought was especially appropriate: "Uncertainty is everywhere."  The article was quoting

Delaine Easton speaking about politics, but she could just as easily have been talking about media.

So, I decided this week that rather than focus on uncertainty, I'll celebrate a milestone. This week marks posting my 1,900 tutorial!  All of which are freely available on my website! ( Here's the link to my main tutorial page.) This doesn't include videos or blogs.

As I mentioned last week, Tom Coughlin, CEO of Coughlin Associates, is conducting its 10th annual survey of digital storage requirements and practices for media and entertainment professionals, with results included in the 2019 Digital Storage for Media and Entertainment Report.

If you work in media or entertainment, please take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9C9LHGF.

encourage you to share your opinions.

system to include new utilities shipped with the macOS that can help fix problems. All these are in the Articles section below.

In the meantime, the Digital Production Buzz had a variety show last week. We covered Cosplay, color grading using BaseLight, new gear from mLogic and on-going changes in workflow. Plus, James DeRuvo returns after a two-week absence with the latest from doddleNEWS. Here's the link to this week's show.

That's it for this week. I look forward to chatting with you next week. In the meantime, edit well.
