KILLER INTERVIEWS ON THE
DIGITAL PRODUCTION BUZZ
Larry Jordan

 

It's been an incredible week on our podcast - Digital Production Buzz - and I have some great interviews for you.

If you want to be inspired, take a listen to Hope Hall, the White House Videographer. She was interviewed by Tchad Moore as part of our coverage of Government Video Expo 2012. Listen to Hope as she explores her thoughts that her simple video-taping could change the world.

In fact, check out all our GV Expo 2012 coverage from reporters Tchad Moore and Christopher Grayton. I especially recommend the comments from Giovanni Galvez from CPC about the changing needs for closed captioning on virtually all videos.

Click for all our GV Expo interviews.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

In addition to our GV Expo interviews, last week's show left both Michael Horton and myself amazed with the depth of the interviews.

If you are a filmmaker, listen to the "lightning-in-a-bottle" experience of John Dower.

If you are into motion graphics, the comments of Gmunk Munkowitz and Navarro Parker will leave you amazed.

Last week was an incredible show!

THOUGHTS TO END THE YEAR

Just a reminder, I'm reflecting over the events of this past year for a blog I want to write in mid-December and I'm interested in your thoughts.

Email me your opinions on what you feel were the most significant products, events, or changes in our industry - or your business - this last year.  I'll incorporate the most interesting responses in my upcoming blog.

NEW ARTICLES THIS WEEK

I have four new articles this week: two blogs and two videos, both on Adobe Audition. Plus, I have updates to the Top 3 lists.

Have a great week! All the details are below.

BLOG: ARE THE NEW MACS GOOD ENOUGH?
Can We Use iMacs for Video Editing? 

Randi Altman, editor-in-chief at Post Magazine, asked me to write a series of blogs looking at video editing.

This is my first in the series: a look at whether the new iMacs are good enough for video editing.

The answer is "Yes," but, actually, this is the wrong question, as you'll learn in this article.

Read the article here.

BLOG: LARRY BOUGHT AN IMAC
And Here's How I Configured It
Logo: Larry's Blog
As soon as the new iMacs went on sale, I bought a new one.

I needed one for video editing for months, but wanted to wait for the latest update.

I get asked daily to help editors spec out editing gear, so, this time, I wrote a blog that details what I bought and why.

I'm already getting comments on this - feel free to add your own.  And, personally, I can't wait for this to get here so I can start testing it.


AUDITION CS6 VIDEO: LOCKING CLIPS
Locking Audio Clips to Prevent Sync Drift

There are major benefits to mixing audio in an audio application.

The problem is that most audio applications don't understand about sync between audio and video.

In this short video, I show you how to lock your audio clips so they don't drift out of sync with the video.


AUDITION VIDEO: BUSES & SUB-MIXES
How to Create Stems, Buses, and Sub-mixes 

This is an advanced technique in Adobe Audition CS6 that allows you to group similar audio so it can be controlled, or filtered, in a single channel.

The process is called bussing, or sub-mixing. And this short, six-minute video shows you how to create these and use them in your work.
