SUMMER SILLINESS (sigh...)
Mike Horton and I got a case of the giggles on last week's Digital Production Buzz. (For such a professional guy, Mike cracks up in a heartbeat...) Anyway, I was thinking of recommending a specific interview, but the whole show was good; weird, but good. Alexis Van Hurkman talks about the challenges of writing the user manual to DaVinci Resolve while the programmers keep changing the software. Jonathan Handel then proved that lawyers have a sense of humor by explaining how he put a camera on the hood of his Porsche, then crashed it... into his cat's water dish! (OK, so maybe the weirdness wasn't all our fault.) Michael Kammes ponders the future of the MacPro. Philip Hodgetts explains what gear he selected to shoot a documentary from a boat with limited power and space. At the end, Mike and I attempt to answer a listener's question about fixing General Errors, but the Live Chat starts talking about hamsters on bicycles, which spills over into the show, and, well, Mike just loses it. I mean, it certainly wasn't MY fault...! Listen to the entire show here, I'm still chuckling. MASSIVE INTERVIEW ARCHIVES
Thanks to the incredibly hard work of Tori Anderholt - who has sadly left us to go back to college - we now have 700 individual interviews available online from The Buzz! These date back to 2009 with an interview we did with Isidore Mankofsky at DV Expo. These are searchable by name, company, keyword or year. It is an amazing collection of industry history, gossip, and tales of production and post. Check it out here.

TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Audio Analysis
 Have you wondered what audio analysis is and what Final Cut Pro X is doing to your clips? This article explains what you need to know, and why you should say "Yes," when FCP asks. Read the article here. |
TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO
Intro to Color Correction
Whether you are working with Final Cut Pro X, 7, or 6, the process of color correction - and reading scopes - is essentially the same.
In this article, I show you how to understand what the video scopes are showing you, and the impact of making changes to grayscale and color.
If you have always been confused about color correction, this article will make things a lot clearer.
|
VIDEO: MOTION 5
Publishing Effects to Final Cut Pro X
 Final Cut Pro X effects are really Motion templates. This means you can create effects in Motion specifically for use in Final Cut Pro X.
In this nine-minute video, I show you how to create a Final Cut generator, how to create and publish settings that can be adjusted in Final Cut Pro X, and how to save the Motion template so FCP X can see it.
|
TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO 7
Creating Speed Changes
 There are four ways to change the speed of a clip in Final Cut Pro 7: freeze frames, fit-to-fill edits, constant speed changes, and variable speed changes.
When Apple released Final Cut Pro 7, they added some new features which make changing clip speed easier.
