Get – Dialogue Search for Final Cut Pro

AV3 Software’s Get application was one of the highlights at last year’s NAB. Based on the same Nexidia search engine as Avid’s ScriptSync, Get brings dialogue-based search capabilities to Apple Final Cut Pro and eventually other editing applications. (In fact, Avid has recently introduced PhraseFind, which is Nexidia’s implementation of the same technology within the Media Composer 5.5 application.)

I’m worried. Ordinarily, an industry journalist at this time of year is forced into an undignified clamber over huge drifts of pre-NAB press releases just to reach the mailbox, but this year it’s been suspiciously quiet. More experienced hands tell me that this isn’t necessarily a bad sign, though, and I shouldn’t expect to turn up in Vegas and find that NAB 2011 comprises three people clustered around an Arri Alexa – although if this turns out to be the case, you will read about it he...

You’ve likely heard about the new interconnect technology called Thunderbolt. With two 10 Gbit/sec channels this has some interconnect power, at budget pricing. It’ll make a big difference when momentum gathers.

BEHIND THE EDIT – SMR VS FACEBOOK

I’m pretty pleased with the way the latest episode of SMR turned out and there’s quite a lot in it that’s quite interesting so I thought it’d make a good case study looking at the way post-production can bring a project to life. It’s fair to say that the post in SMR is labour intensive, mind-numbingly, insanely post heavy. Each of these episodes is turning into a mini visual FX-laced short film now and we’re looking to push the production value up much higher in the coming months.

Recently I’ve been getting a lot of performance questions from Mac users about using Premiere Pro editing systems with ATI/AMD graphics cards. No question this has been "sparked" by Apple’s recent series of MacBook Pro Laptops featuring Thunderbolt and a 1GB AMD Radeon 6750 graphics card. Below is a link (Click picture) to show the Mercury Playback Engine running on the new Apple MacBook Pro 17" Thunderbolt laptop in 64 bit CPU mode or what’s also known as Mercury Software mode.

This one is about killing babies. No, not ACTUAL babies. Segments of shows that you worked really hard on...poured your life into...don’t work. You have to kill them.
