Free iStockphoto Plug-in for Adobe Creative Suite
By: Richard Harrington on May 13, 2012 at 10:46:00 pm
A site that I use frequently is iStockphoto to find illustrations and photos for both client jobs and presentations (they are also a sponsor of my blog, but I am a paying customer too). They just released a very cool plug-in that let's you search for images right within some of the key Adobe apps. It currently works in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign (I'm hoping for some of the video apps in near future). The official blurb iStock Plug-in for Adobe Creative Suite iStockphoto is the world's leading provider of royalty-free stock media and design elements, featuring millions of inspiring...

I Want ALL of my HDTV
By: Lon Keller on May 11, 2012 at 12:26:08 pm
When creating commercials or other content for broadcast television, production companies need to adhere to certain standards. These standards have been driven from two primary sources: the Federal Communications Commission and the owners of the broadcast outlets. For many years, the technical process of creating commercials or other content for broadcast television was fairly straightforward. There were no widescreen plasma or LCD screens. All television sets contained a cathode ray tube, which beamed an image onto a phosphorescent screen. The size of the image, measured in scan lines, was 720 x 486, a 4:3 aspect ratio. All television cameras and...

Using YouTube Retention Data to Edit for the Web
By: Kylee Wall on May 10, 2012 at 9:22:24 am
Today, I was checking on some video analytics for a client's YouTube account. I manage the postings for the account, and use the data to develop stronger videos as time goes on. YouTube recently redesigned their analytics dashboard (again), and one of the changes was the addition of "Audience Retention." This feature kind of existed before as "Hot Spots." Hot Spots compared your video to other videos across YouTube of similar length, and showed you a relative graph of how much of your audience you were retaining relative to the other videos. The graph would show you peaks and valleys...

We have decided to remove Adobe Story CS6 from the perpetual versions of Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro and After Effects. Why did you pull story from Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro and After Effects? We were bundling a static AIR version of Adobe Story with these products through the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 cycle, while this gave users access to Adobe Story, we updated the core application four times throughout the year, leaving...

Real Amps Cranked
By: Adam Kranitz on May 3, 2012 at 10:00:00 pm
If you re reading this blog, then most likely you love the sound of a cranked guitar amp pushed into that sweet spot of power tube distortion and speaker breakup . At least I sure do! When I started working on the Eleven amp models, it was very enlightening to hear the isolated raw sounds from actual vintage guitar amps, because I was mostly used to hearing the mixed and processed guitar sounds on records. Sure I owned a Boogie Studio .22 combo amp, but even those measly 20-something watts were plenty loud to get the neighbors or police banging...

With luck, every emerging filmmaker reaches the point where the next project involves more than a handful of crew and actors working to build their portfolio. We asked Ameena Din if there is a specific budget amount above which filmmakers should definitely bring in outside help, such as cost analysts and production coordinators, to develop an effective structure for their projects. “This really depends on a filmmaker’s level of experience,” says Din. “After years of experience in the business...

Post NAB - The NLE Wars between the "A's" will continue, much to the users benefit.
By: gary adcock on May 1, 2012 at 9:00:22 am
Apple: SInce NAB 2011 the NLE market has been aflutter. Apple announced release of FCPX was heralded until the new version of the App hit the street and Apple, in my humble opinion, placed that product on the market about a year too early for the majority of users to understand or handle. http://macw.us/A3zc7i > Since than Apple has released 4 updates that end up covering a larger number of my complaints including the announcement for FCPX 10.04 that very quietly removed the "Beta" tag on output of true Broadcast Quality Monitoring.

Forget the Future, Plan for Now
By: walter biscardi on Apr 28, 2012 at 10:27:49 am
I made a comment at this past week’s Atlanta Cutters meeting that surprised many of those in attendance. It was something along the lines of “I’m anticipating our Avid’s will be a one year solution to our editing workflow and then we’ll see where we are next year.” In other words, Avid meets our broadcast needs today so that’s the horse we’re going to ride right now for our broadcast work. For some of our non-broadcast work, we’ll go with Premiere Pro CS6. When Smoke 2013 is available, we’ll see how that fits into our workflow. Software has gotten to...

Thoughts on Effective Documentary Distribution
By: Kenny Miracle on Apr 27, 2012 at 8:14:36 am
In a recent interview with Post Magazine, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock talks about distribution for his documentaries. Summarized, he said, “After ‘The Greatest Movie Ever Sold’ came out, I got so much press for that movie. We were everywhere when that film was ramping up for its release. I was on ‘Conan’, ‘Colbert’, and ‘Jimmy Kimmel’. Then the film came out on 18 theaters all around the country. 95% of the country couldn’t even see the movie. There’s a guy named Ferris Yaakov, who talks about the cultural decay rate of ideas in our society today. He says, basically, ‘The cultural...

FCP X and it's launch: Blunder or Genius?

In light of all the NAB announcements regarding editing, I have to ask - "WHY is it going to take time for FCPX to mature?" Apple is the biggest richest company in the world. I have to figure they've been at this piece of software for 2-3 years. They had 10 years of making FCP 1-7, Motion, etc. They own the code base for shake. They have logic. They can hire anyone they need. Why is it in the same 2 years Avid and Premiere can reinvent themselves? Adobe seems to be able crank out a limitless amount of software...
