I'm writing this newsletter on Friday. NAB opens Sunday. You are reading this on Monday. Lots will have changed.

Thanks to a major sponsorship from Axle AI, I'm taking a video crew and interviewing more than 60! key companies in our part of the industry. I'm interested in learning what's new, but also the trends they are watching for the future. 

Here's a list of who's already agreed to be interviewed.

By the time you read this newsletter, I'll have several NAB videos posted. My goal is to post new interviews every evening. (Posting to YouTube will be a few days later.)

Here's an alternate interview link, sorted in the order they were interviewed.

Last week's webinar on "Audio Techniques in Adobe Premiere Pro" went well - it has lots of good information to help improve the sound of your projects. If you missed it, you can view it in our video training library, or pick up a copy in our store.

Webinars are on hiatus for a couple weeks while I process all the interviews from NAB. However, I'm working on two special webinars to present later this month. As always, stay tuned.

As a reminder, I'll update the NAB Interview page every evening as I post videos. Bookmark this page, because it will change every day this week.

I'm surrounded by gear and tons of notes, getting ready to travel to Las Vegas. I'm using some new gear this time, as well as old standards. I'll have a write-up on what we did and how we did it once I get back and get some sleep. As always, you can reach me via email with questions or comments - but it may take a while for me to get back to you. This will be an exciting week!

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