PLUG-INS AND PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Larry Jordan
I had lots of fun this past week researching plug-ins for my webinar: "3rd-Party Plug-ins for Final Cut Pro X."

I showcased almost 20 different effects during the webinar, then I took some of my favorite new discoveries and turned them into product review articles to share with you this week.

Whether you are a new or long-time Final Cut Pro editor, you'll find plug-ins here that can make your life a LOT easier!

View this webinar in Larry's Store. (Subscribers will find it posted in the Latest Webinars section.)

DIGITAL PRODUCTION BUZZ
FEATURED AUDIO INTERVIEW

Each week, I feature a different interview from our podcast: Digital Production Buzz. This week, I want to call an interview with Gary Symons to your attention.

Gary started a company called Vericorder Technology to create products for mobile journalism. Recently, he started a website called FindStringers.com, which connects news reporters with news outlets.

Our conversation opened up an interesting discussion in verifying sources, remote news coverage, and other interesting topics.

Listen to Gary's interview here.

"EDITING TRUTHS" WEEKLY WINNERS

Several entries in our "Editing Truths For Better Living" contest totally cracked me up this week. These short aphorisms touch upon so many facets of editing for others.

It doesn't cost anything to enter, and, in fact, studies have shown that entering can actually make you feel better.  Read this and enjoy...!

There no such thing as a final revision. There's only the version you convinced the client to pay for.

NEW ARTICLES THIS WEEK
Three new product reviews for this week.
And, as always, I've updated our Top 3 lists.
PRODUCT REVIEW
CoreMelt SliceX with mocha      

Last week, CoreMelt released a new version of SliceX: SliceX with Mocha.

This shape selection/ rotoscoping tool now includes motion tracking, using the amazing mocha, from Imagineer Systems.

This article describes what it is and how it works.

PRODUCT REVIEW
Zynaptiq Unveil   
   
Frankly, I didn't think what this plug-in does was even possible: it removes echoes from an audio clip!

This review explains what it is, how it works and provides a before-and-after audio sample.
PRODUCT REVIEW
Neat Video: Video Noise Reducer 
        
One of the problems of shooting in low-light situations is that many cameras add video noise, or grain, to the image.

One of the better video noise reducers is made by Neat Video. In this review, I explain what it is, how it works, and show examples of noisy footage before and after.

Read the review here.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE 
Trouble-Shoot in Five Steps 
   
Of all the articles I write, those that cover trouble-shooting are the most popular.

So, I've condensed everything I've written into "Five Steps" you need to do before you call Apple.

In most cases, these steps will solve your problems without you having to contact tech support. Bookmark this article!
