John and I stopped by this afternoon to take a quick look at the progress on the bricks. Lower level is about done and they’re ready to get moving up on the scaffolding. Really loving the color scheme too. A look at the left side of the building around the garage door. That brick is [...]
As I’ve been on the Creative Cow Final Cut Pro forums about 9 years now, I have seen all manner of people whine and complain about stability issues with Final Cut Pro. Sometimes it’s truly Apple breaking stuff or releasing versions of Quicktime or FCP before they’re ready. But often, it’s operator error / configuration [...]
Today was Labor Day Holiday in the U.S. and instead of grilling outside, we took advantage of a nice quiet shop to really get into some Davinci Resolve testing. My buddy Ron Anderson volunteered to come over and show me the ropes. When a 30 year colorist offers to “show you the ropes” on a [...]
Had a great day today poking around in the beta version of Davinci Resolve for the Mac. Spent the first few hours just gleaning through the User Manual and that was actually quite interesting. See the User Manual for the new 7.0 Resolve is not out yet so I’m looking through the previous version. What [...]
It’s Labor Day weekend here in the US so I’m taking advantage of the 3 day weekend to set up and start testing the beta version of DaVinci Resolve 7.0 for Mac. Contrary to some of the information that’s out there, you do NOT require two nVidia graphics cards to run Resolve on a Mac [...]
With the Labor Day Holiday weekend upon us, but an absolutely gorgeous day outside, the construction crew decided to work on Saturday and take Monday off. The brick work was started and Joe managed to get his truck in a ditch….. The masonry team gets right to work on the bricks outside. Joe brought us [...]
Any longtime member of the Creative Cow forums might recall some…. well how shall I describe them…. let’s say, “difference of opinion” discussions between BlackMagic Design’s Grant Petty and myself. It got to the point where I was politely (well maybe not so politely) asked to refrain from posting in the BMD forum. To be [...]
I’ll say one thing for my contractor Joe McCabe, the man wastes no time at all. Barely is the outside shell completed than his team is inside marking the floors and starting the framing. This was kind of neat for me, I’ve never been a part of a ground up construction before. On Monday, Joe [...]
A lot of folks have been asking me about this and a recent post on Twitter reminded me to go ahead and update you folks on some of what we plan to have in the new facility. Well first off, still running Apple’s Final Cut Pro. At the moment it still serves our needs however [...]
After a fun day shooting out in a cornfield with old tractors, we stopped by the shop and found that the siding is done! Standing in the garage door opening looking across the building left to right, that’s the front door on the right. Roof is completed, siding is all in up in the front. [...]
