Final Cut still has a significant bug in it, I have corrections to two tutorials and there's big Avid news. Plus, I have several brand-new tutorials! Lots to talk about.
To start, though, based on question from Luis, I have a tutorial on how to manage, edit and export large projects using Final Cut Pro.

And, for Premiere users, I recommend you use Productions for large projects - whether you are part of a team, or just working by yourself.

In the news:
Final Cut Pro bug. While the 10.6.8 upgrade fixed a major Viewer bug in Final Cut, there is still an outstanding problem that was introduced in the 10.6.7 update with some video plugins that don’t properly recognize an opacity setting. If you are having problems, please contact your plugin developer to see if there’s a workaround until Apple updates Final Cut to fix this.

Ars Technica has issued a warning on SanDisk Extreme SSDs wiping data, along with general unresponsiveness from its parent company, Western Digital. I'm also personally concerned with Western Digital's drives and how they are marketed. I'm staying away from them at the moment.

Mofi is a free web application (with optional paid features) that allows users to shorten and lengthen music to fit their video, trying to make as seamless a cut as possible. Users can mark regions to avoid or prefer to fit their needs. It also allows users to extract loops to loop indefinitely (for background music for example).
