What is Bit Depth?
By: Richard Harrington on Oct 5, 2012 at 9:31:00 pm
Besides resolution (the number of pixels) and color mode (the way colors are processed), one other variable affects image quality. Bit depth measures how much color is available for display or printing of each pixel. A greater bit depth means each pixel contains more information for describing the color. A pixel with a bit depth of 1 can display the pixel as either black or white. The most common bit depth is 8-bit mode, which has a possible value of 256 intensity levels per color channel. However, depending on the version of Photoshop you are working with as well as...

Understanding Resolution
By: Richard Harrington on Oct 4, 2012 at 9:32:00 pm
OK, prepare to be temporarily confused (but not for long). A lot of terms are used to describe image resolution. The problem is that many people (and companies) use the wrong terms, which (understandably) leads to a great deal of confusion. Let s take a quick look at the most common terms and their accurate meanings. Knowing how to describe the resolution of images and output devices will help you make the right decisions when purchasing or choosing gear to use. Dots per Inch (dpi) The most common term used to describe image resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Although...

Thunderbolt and Lightning… Very, Very Frightening...
By: Richard Harrington on Oct 4, 2012 at 8:57:00 pm
This morning I started to think about the little things as I packed my bag for work . "Dang, I sure have a lot of cables and dongles in here." Apple seems to be leading the way in "innovation" on this front. If you want a smaller, thinner device, then those old bulky cords must go. After all, the whole world is wireless right? DVI + VGA If I want to hook up to a projector, I'm carrying two adapters. One for DVI and one for VGA. While I'm happy HDMI is built-in I still need to carry adapters to...

10Gb is Coming
By: Steve Modica on Oct 4, 2012 at 11:04:51 am
You've all read that 10GbaseT is on the way. It's true. Very soon, you will be able to plug standard RJ45 connectors (just like on your Mac Book Pro) into your 10Gb Ethernet cards and switches. You'll be able to run CAT6A cable 100m (assuming the runs are clean runs) and have tons and tons of bandwidth between servers and clients. Who needs Fibre Channel anymore?! But with the widespread migration to 10Gb, you may have a plumbing problem my friend. Many years ago, I had the privilege of supporting three of the large animation studios in LA that were...

DV and Studio Daily Spotlight Editor John Gilroy and ‘The Bourne Legacy’
By: Adam Kranitz on Oct 4, 2012 at 1:00:00 am
Fans of the Bourne film series flocked to theaters this summer when the release of The Bourne Legacy hit the screen. What viewers might not have realized when watching the action-packed film was the intense editing process that went into making it such a show-stopper. Bryant Frazer at Studio Daily and Oliver Peters at Digital Video each had the opportunity to interview The Bourne Legacy ’s editor John Gilroy, and through their respective articles, share what it was like to work with his family on the project (his brother Tony Gilroy was the writer-director and his other brother Dan Gilroy...

Parenthood in Production and Post: Being a Editor Dad
By: Kylee Wall on Sep 27, 2012 at 3:36:00 pm
As a woman of child-bearing age who has recently begun the descent into the back half of her 20's, I'd be lying if the idea of reproducing wasn't at least on my mind. It's floating around somewhere in the back, mostly, but it's there. Lurking. Obviously there are many among us who choose not to breed, which is a completely legitimate and respectable decision. I don't know whether it's a biological process that affects some of us differently, a societal role thing that creeps into our psyche, or just the sociopathic desire to create and ruin a human being in...

The Return of the Save As Command

When you went to save a new version of a file, you'd be presented with options like Duplicate, Revert, and Move To. I (and many others) found them terribly confusing. Now with Mac OS 10.8.2 you can get the old commands back the return of the Save As command: "- Adds an option to discard the changes in the original document when choosing - Save As" This is useful in the following scenario.

This is an on-going post-production diary I'm keeping while I cut my first feature film, The Impersonators , an indie comedy. To my delight, this year has been filled with many opportunities to get advice and tips on editing from some of the top editors in the world. Between NAB , Editfest , and the weekly Twitter chat #postchat , I've been up to my ears in wisdom on cutting film and television. Of course, in central Indiana I'm pretty well saturated in corporate video work, so I was getting all these amazing pieces of advice thinking "Well, I guess...

Will.i.am Talks ProTools with Avid at IBC 2012
By: Adam Kranitz on Sep 18, 2012 at 1:00:00 am
We had a very special visitor to the Avid booth at IBC last week. You’ve likely heard of him – he made broadcasting history when his music played from Mars, gave a stellar performance at Super Bowl XLV, has been awarded seven Grammy’s and has used Pro Tools since ’99. Anthony Gordon, Avid’s artist relations manager, got a chance to sit down with none other than worldwide superstar Will.i.am in Amsterdam during IBC to discuss the evolution of recording technology, philanthropy and the future of music-making. Will.i.am recalled the days when remote recording and editing meant lugging around multiple boxes...

Wow, After 10 years of going to the IBC show in Amsterdam, I am used to seeing a fair number of products announced at NAB to be finally shipping. Yet there is usually a good number of new products that are released on the European market too. But IBC 2012, by that standard, was pretty much a lackluster show. While there were a couple of cool announcements like the newest Nvidia K5000 Card for Mac Desktops offer users an unprecedented level of power within the Nvidia "Keppler" architecture.

Specifically, we asked if the use of ADR was dictated largely by the work itself, or by the director’s preference. “The need for ADR recording,” he says, “is split between technical and creative purposes, and there are many possible factors that would determine why ADR would be used.” Technical Walker says that “Since ninety nine percent of my work with dialogue and ADR editing is technical, I almost exclusively look for those types of lines to prep for ADR sessions.”...

Dialect coaches are illusionists extraordinaire.” He goes on to say, “With accents of English, when time permits, I...
