In alphabetical order, these are some of the booths and folks I’ll be visiting with during NAB this year. Some you’ve heard of and I’m sure there’s a few you haven’t. Found all of these through the neat NABShow App for iPhone. Very cool little app… 5 Alarm Music: SL7612 Music LIbrary 615 Music: SL9615 [...]
So by now it’s a known fact that the FCPUG Supermeet on April 12 in Las Vegas has been abruptly taken over by Apple. Yes, it says “special presenter” on the Supermeet Website but it’s a known fact now that it will be Apple showing off the new Final Cut Pro and most likely the [...]
Are your fonts out of control, too many on your system, you have no idea what’s what? In this quick tip, Walter Biscardi shows you a quick and easy way to start organizing and controlling your fonts.
So NAB is rapidly approaching and as par for the course, we know nothing about Apple’s plans for the event. We know they don’t have a booth planned but will they announce anything at all? Last year we had a completely underwhelming (you might say embarrassing) presentation by Apple at the SuperMeet. What will we [...]
Two weeks ago “30 Rock” had a story arc involving the video editors of the show and how scary it was to go down to them. They controlled the video and you didn’t want to piss them off or else you might not get your stories cut. Over the top humor that I love about [...]

Note: part of this entry appeared previously as a blog on the creativecow.net website. Let’s just say my opinions have been changed….. Why did I purchase this? I took delivery of the 16GB Wi-Fi Apple iPad in April. No, I did not wait in line, I took the leisurely deliver it to my front door method. I [...]
The 2010 National Association of Broadcasters convention had the Post Production world buzzing about the Three A’s of the industry. Apple, Adobe and Avid. Well, really more Adobe and Avid since they were actually at the show and had something to demonstrate. Adobe brought their CS5 creative suite to the show with some incredible [...]
UPDATE: Ok, ok, I was confusing Match Framing with Reveal Master Clip. As Shane Ross reminded me, Match Frame has always worked across projects. It’s Reveal Master Clip that does not work, and still doesn’t work with Final Cut Pro….. Without even realizing it, I’ve been doing something that supposedly we could not do with [...]
