MEMBERS-ONLY WEBINAR

I finally posted our webinar "Ask Larry Anything" to our membership service. (All I'm gonna say is that I was distracted by the holidays.) I had a great time answering dozens of questions on all kinds of technical issues and look forward to sharing this.

I AM RUNNING AMOK WITH SOCIAL MEDIA!

I have new Pinterest boards covering cool books, fonts, websites, all kinds of stuff.  If you haven't visited Pinterest, check out my boards here.

And, thinking of social media, thanks to the folks at #PostChat for a great time last Wednesday on a TwitterView. This was a one-hour conversation that felt like two sprinters having a conversation during a race!  Part speed reading, part speed typing, with a bit of free-form Haiku thrown in for good measure.

Also, if you haven't visited my YouTube channel recently, we've been sprucing the place up. Better descriptions, revised playlists, and new movies - with more coming shortly.

And, before I forget, Rick Zanotti recently interviewed me for eMediaChat, talking about audio, software, technology, and lots of cool stuff. If you haven't seen it, check it out here.

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINAL CUT PRO X


AFFORDABLE MEDIA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Last week, I was at Storage Visions 2013, a conference devoted to the technology of storage.  (I was covering it for The Buzz.)

Anyway, at the Conference, I bumped into Sam Bogoch, formerly of Avid, now CEO of Axle Video, with a brand-new, affordable media management system. Take a listen to our interview here.

In November, I wrote that I ordered a new 27" iMac. Well, it arrived the last week of December.

I finally got to take it for a spin, and wrote up the results in this blog.

See for yourself if the new iMacs have the speed you need for editing.

Final Cut Pro X continues to improve, but the audio capabilities are still lacking.

In this step-by-step article, I show you how to send your audio files from FCP X to Adobe Audition for mixing, then how to bring them back from Audition to Final Cut Pro X for the final project output.

Whether you use OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8, Activity Monitor is your friend.

I use this on a daily basis to measure hard disk speed, memory usage, or just to see how hard my CPUs are working.

This article shows how to use this really nifty tool for measuring and monitoring your computer system.

Everything we do as editors depends upon our storage.

Last week, I attended the Storage Visions 2013 Conference and learned a lot of interesting stuff that I share with you in this article.

From audio interviews about two new technologies you need to know about about, to a collection of hard disk trivia, you'll enjoy this article.
