USB has become the I/O method of choice for most users, thanks to the many creative ways it has been adapted (and it has become a terrifying security risk for network managers thanks to the creative way it has been used in threats like the Stuxnet worm). At CES the USB-IF organisation will demo an incredibly large number of new manufacturers who have rolled out SuperSpeed USB applications and devices since the specification was launched about a year ago at the 2010 CES. SuperSpeed USB.

I have a love/hate relationship with Apple Compressor and am always on the lookout for better encoding tools. Part of our new file-based world is the regular need to process/convert/transcode native acquisition formats. This is especially true of the latest crop of HDSLRs, like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and its various siblings.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post called Avid Media Composer in a DSLR World which detailed the various workflow options for working with DSLR media (mainly from Canon’s insanely popular 5D and it’s siblings).

On any career path there’s getting started, and then there’s getting started right. Imagine you’re a young film editor named Michael R. Miller, you’re looking to get a foothold in feature films, and like anyone just starting out in his chosen field you’re probably willing to take almost any job for the experience and the typeface on your CV. But you are Michael R. Miller, and one of your first jobs isn’t greasing the gears...

The other thing I really miss is having a dedicated video output from the computer to a video monitor.... nVidia press contacts say the only way to use a second monitor for the Program output is to tear the Program monitor off the Premiere Pro program and maximize it on the second monitor

Yesterday I reviewed Magic Bullet’s Grinder and I got all excited about finally getting free run time code in my 7d footage. It turns out that app didn’t deliver what I was looking for, so I went out in search of something that did.
