Miracle-working automatic synchronization software Pluraleyes is the absolute best way to sync sound in any less-than-ideal situation (where you don’t have perfectly synched timecode — or any timecode at all, for that matter). If you’re shooting on an HDSLR and are recording audio to a separate device, this is a must-have. Now Pluraleyes has finally come to the Mac version of Premiere Pro, and Singular Software is offering this version at a 20% discount until December 11.

Final Cut Pro Chapter Markers into Quicktime Movie

Embedding chapter markers into Quicktime movies with Final Cut Pro is both easy, & useful. I discovered a new use recently when preparing interview media for review. By embedding chapter markers at the beginning of each talking point, I made it easier for my producer to review the interview footage. I also added a Timecode Generator filter to make it easy to get specific timecode. In general it is nice to add chapter markers to Quicktime movies, so that they are more navigable.

This means that with ANY computer, you can capture to the formats that the three major NLEs like: ProRes, DnxHD, and MPEG-2I...with their separate VETURA software. This means that I can use my MXO2 to capture footage for AVID! Well, it is still QT, and yes, Avid MC5 will still require it to be "transcoded" to MXF in order to be fully functional in the Avid workflow (export of AAF and OMF for audio). Still...pretty big step here.

Getting the "Film Look" with a digital c

"We want the film look" says the client or producer. Many budget conscious filmmakers, notably students, independents, documentarians, and television networks, use low cost digital video cameras but desire the film look. We’ve all seen the scratchy, old timey film look applied after the shoot or used software to produce a supposed film look. But what exactly is the film look and what’s the best way to get it when you shoot digitally? How do you advise clients and producers?

Compressor Repair to the rescue

I have thankfully not needed to ever use compressor repair before. It has always lived in the back of my mind as one of those backup plans, like triple-a, or life insurance. At work my tower has somehow really tweaked itself and compressor was the hardest hit. This was the first sign that something was amiss. I got this error immediately after logging in.
