I just moderated my third panel for EditFest, and although this one had only one panelist, it was enough for a feast, because that panelist was the very gifted and gracious Alan Heim. Alan chose to discuss and show clips from Star 80, director Bob Fosse’s final film, which was an unconventional decision. The film was vilified by the critics and audiences found the disturbing and sexually violent subject matter to be difficult viewing.

Log & Capture is how we bring in media from tape. Log & Transfer is how we bring in media that is tapeless. And the latest version of Final Cut has made this process much more robust. Most times, for safety, we store the original source media on hard disks that are not attached to our computer.

I'm not a big fan of firewire storage for video editing, especially pre-manufactured drives in sealed enclosures, such as those from LaCie. These types of drives are great for backup and for transporting files and projects, and they're certainly convenient, but for day to day editing they are a perfect example of what I like to call "false economy."

In a perfect world, digital cameras would wirelessly zap moving images to servers in the cloud. Clips would appear instantly on timelines anywhere in the world, playable regardless of compression. Maybe that isn’t your vision of a perfect world—although glimpses of it already appear at mobile phone apps like Qik and Ustream ("Broadcasting live is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Get started today!").
