NEW ARTICLES THIS WEEK

Two new articles - plus, a new video tutorial - and new Top 3 Lists

All the details are below.

TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Audio Preview Trick

This technique was suggested by an email from Dan Sagalyn, who was looking for a faster way to pull quotes from interviews.

If you record interviews with the host on one audio channel and the guest on a second audio channel, you need to read this article.

Read the article here.

TECHNIQUE: COMPRESSOR
Adding Chapter Markers

This is a video tutorial showing  how to add chapter markers in Compressor 4; though this technique also works with Compressor 3.

Since we can't add chapter markers in Final Cut Pro X, this provides a very simple, straight-forward workaround.


TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Advanced Chroma-key Settings

New with the 10.0.3 release of Final Cut Pro X are advanced chroma-key settings that allow us much more control over tweaking a key.

Out-of-the-box, the chroma-keyer in FCP X is pretty amazing. What these new controls allow us to do is improve the subtlety of our keys.
