Several interesting tutorials for you this week - regardless of which NLE you use.

First, though, Apple released a 10.6.8 update to Final Cut, which seems to have fixed the deadly Viewer bugs in the 10.6.7 version. (At least, no one has contacted me with problems.)

My lead story this week looks at how we can upgrade the capacity of an HDD RAID without buying a whole new system. While this may not work for every RAID, it will work for many. If you, like me, are running out of space, this tutorial provides options that could save you hundreds of dollars.

Lower in this issue, you'll find more tutorials for Premiere and Final Cut.

In the news:

Filmworkz, the makers of Nucoda, is promoting their DVO restoration plugins. These run on Nucoda, DaVinci Resolve, Mistake and others. If you are struggling to fix what seem to be intractable image problems, take a look at these.

FXFactory continues releasing new plug-ins for Final Cut, Premiere, After Effects and many others. If you haven't checked out their "Latest Releases," it is always a fun way to spend time watching some amazing demos.

Other than that, things were really quiet last week.

My next webinar will be NEXT week and, based on a suggestion from Tom Cherry, I'll look at "Small Things That Matter." I'll cover general maintenance, cache files, media management, organizing projects and other mundane stuff that drives us all nuts for both Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro. As always, registration to my live events is FREE!

Normally, I edit my webinars using Final Cut Pro, then mix the audio in Audition. Last week, I decided to edit in Premiere because I could use the practice. (This also reminded me that knowing more than one editing application is always a good idea.) From that experience, I have the following tutorial:

Then, as I looked over my website, I realized that I have never written about how to export markers from Final Cut Pro. This requires a free utility that all Final Cut Pro editors should own. I provide all the details and links here.

In last week's webinar I spent time talking about how to improve the speed of your computer by improving the speed of your storage. I wrote about this last week - this week, I have a video that discusses this further.

It's the middle of August, even the rumors are moving at vacation speed. Things will pick up after Labor Day (in early September) but, until then, enjoy the remaining weeks of summer. Um, unless you live south of the equator - in which case, you are in the middle of winter, so get back to work.

Until next Monday, stay safe, stay hopeful and edit well.
