Last week's webinar on "
Multicam Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro" will be the last for a few weeks. I'm getting some renovations done to the office, then taking a couple of weeks off to visit friends and family. Webinars will resume July 13, with a detailed look at Boris FX Continuum 2022.
Thinking of
multicam in Premiere, my session last week covered everything you need to know from storage requirements to editing to output. I also added a section on working with
virtual angles and
color grading. If you want to learn tricks to improve your multicam skills, this webinar is a great place to start. It's available in my store and
Video Training Library.
A challenge that has frustrated me for a long while is the inability to put video into 3D text in Final Cut Pro. While the textures and formatting for 3D text are simply amazing, we can't add video. Until, suddenly, I realized how it can be done. Here's a tutorial that explains how to create a flexible 3D text template in Motion that can opened and edited in Final Cut.
A reader suggested this next tutorial, though it took me a while to write it up. About two years ago, I reviewed Apple's Digital Color Meter. It's good, but not great. Then, I was reminded about Classic Color Meter. This software is highly-useful and completely affordable. Here's my review.
WWDC 2022 is exactly one week away and, as is true every year, rumors are running rampant. If Apple announces everything they are rumored to announce, the presentation will take 3-4 hours. Probably not going to happen. While it's possible they could make an announcement about Final Cut, or their other media applications, I don't expect that to happen. Apple has bigger markets to address. Still, my hope is that Apple realizes that we are still here, still depending upon their software and still hoping it gets better quicker than it has in the past.
In the meantime, stay healthy, stay hopeful and edit well.
