ALL KINDS OF NEW STUFF!

SIX new articles this week! I, uh, got carried away. Plus, newly rediscovered titles exclusively for subscribers, and the last day of our special bundle on Adobe CS6.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

I was wandering around in our vaults and discovered a series of movies I created a couple of years ago on video basics: picking the right hard disk, explaining RAIDs, codecs, video formats, compression; the sort of questions you always wonder about, but never know where to find answers.

So, we re-released these exclusively for subscribers! Log into your account and watch them here. If you are not yet a subscriber, we now have more than 300 hours of training - and growing every week. Become a member here - and remember that subscribers can attend any weekly webinar for free!

LAST DAY TO SAVE MONEY

Our special bundle - Get Started with Adobe CS6 ends today at midnight.  More than 90 movies, almost 10 hours of training - all at a very special price.

This training covers Adobe Story, Prelude, Premiere Pro, and Audition with a combination of webinars and in-depth training. All for one LOW PRICE: $99. (You save over 50%.) So, order your copy today.

APPLE'S WWDC STARTS NEXT WEEK

Next Monday, Tim Cook takes the stage at the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference.  I'm expecting big things from his presentation and will send you a special report next week on any new announcements that are relevant to all of us working with media.

MEDIA STORAGE SURVEY

Tom Coughlin, founder of the Creative Storage Conference, is asking for media people to complete a survey on how they use storage.  The survey only takes a few minutes and the results are handed directly to the hardware manufacturers that create the gear we use on a daily basis.

Take a few minutes to complete the survey, and I'll share the highlights with you when Tom publishes it.

By the way, if you want to attend the 2012 Creative Storage Conference, in Burbank, you can save $100 if you register using this code: onehundredoff709381.

NEW WEBINARS

We have two webinars coming up that I want to mention - including a free one next week.

This week, I'm covering audio editing in Adobe Audition. Audition works with Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro 7, and Final Cut Pro X.  With the demise of Soundtrack Pro, Audition can become an essential tool in your workflow.  Click here to learn more. Remember, subscribers can attend any webinar free.

Next week, we are presenting Creating Titles and Exciting Effects using NewBlueFX and Titler Pro - a webinar that's FREE to EVERYONE!  This is sponsored by NewBlueFX, and in it, I'll showcase some very cool effects and highlight their new Titler Pro titling software for Final Cut Pro 7.

If you are looking for something as easy to use as LiveType, yet creates titles as powerful as Motion, you need to watch this. There's a limit of 85 seats per session - so register now

NEW ARTICLES

I have a positive plethora of new blogs and articles this week. A think-piece on keyboard shortcuts, new articles on Audition, Prelude, FCP 7 and FCP X.  There's lots to cover, you'll find them all listed below.

LARRY'S BLOG
Keyboard Shortcuts:
Training Wheels for the Mind.
 
Logo: Larry's Blog
A simple question from a reader sparked a whole new way of looking at keyboard shortcuts.

They are wonderful when you are using software, but do they get in your way when learning it?  I've been thinking about that recently.


TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Image Stabilization

Image stabilization and rolling shutter correction are built into Final Cut Pro X.

In this article, I explain both of these problems and show you how to correct them using Final Cut Pro X.

TECHNIQUE: ADOBE AUDITION CS6
Trimming Audio Clips

Trimming adjusts where two clips touch. In this article, I show you how to cut, delete, and trim audio clips, along with how to add and modify audio fades.


TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO 7
Creating Speed Changes

Here's a technique from the archives on creating speed changes for clips.

From still frames to constant speed changes to variable speed changes, this article explains what you need to know to make it work. 


TECHNIQUE: ADOBE PRELUDE CS6
New Features in the 1.0.1 Update

Less than a month after Prelude's initial release, Adobe updated it to version 1.0.1.

However, this update includes more than bug fixes, it also includes some significant new features, as this article explains.

Read my article here.

TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Understand Spatial Conform

Spatial Conform is a great new feature in Final Cut Pro X -- especially if you are working with still images.

This article explains what it is, how to use it, and ways to use some of the settings.
