Today is my birthday but that hasn’t stopped me from exploring my imagination. Now while Rotoscoping is no secret nor is it new, it isn’t easy and graphic and video editors are always looking to learn advance editing techniques. Earlier I created an awesome picture of my University with a mountain view.

With cutting rooms more and more portable, many of us like to take a portion of a project’s media home and work on it from there. In Media Composer this can be a real pain because it’s so hard to identify the media files that go with a large group of clips. There’s a way to do it that I described in a previous post, but it’s complicated, and Avid should have simplified it long ago.

Continuing last weeks tutorial, today’s video will highlight animating inside a 3D space. Now most of what you will learn are branches of basic animation techniques in the previous tutorial. Also I’d like to mention, I am testing the waters with a video I put inside the tutorial. It is a special 40 second video that hypes up the tutorial even more than it should be. This is all in good fun and I’d like to know what you all think about both the tutorial and special video.

We decided that today (Feb 24) would be a good day to shoot some test footage with our recently required Ki Pro Mini. The weather is clear, cold and windy. Okay, cold for us on the west coast but for anyone visiting it's just cool-ish. We went back to the same spot to shoot that we used when I bought my first EX1 back in January 2008.

Automatic Duck Media Copy

Automatic Duck has had a knack for developing tools that simply work and do the necessity "glue tasks" that NLE designers consistently ignore. They are clearly known as the standard for robust timeline translation, but in the course of that development, the company created a valuable offshoot in its Media Copy program. Originally just a "side" product, Automatic Duck decided to develop it further in its own right and has recently released Media Copy 3.0.
