During this holiday season, I watched a handful of documentaries, via iTunes and my new BluRay player (Thank you, Santa!). The few I caught on iTunes included Sexy Baby by Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus and The Invisible War by Kirby Dick.

Storage is critical to all media editing and I’ve written a lot about it. So much so, that it is hard to find where to start and which articles are important to read.

In this article I'll look at using Adobe Prelude from a former FCP user's perspective.

In 1985 I walked into waiting room - a wide space with chairs in the hallway - of the head of post production's office at Universal Studios. A dapper 60-something man in a cardigan sat in a chair, patiently waiting for me. He was editor Dann Cahn, my new boss. Thus we began a season...
