I have a mix of Apple and Adobe goodies this week - new articles, new bundles, new webinars - and some cool "Short Notes," as well.

First, if you are interested in making the most of Adobe CS6 - before leaping into the Creative Cloud - I've created a new webinar bundle that can save you a TON of money!  In one package, you'll learn Adobe Story, Adobe Prelude, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Adobe Media Encoder, and Adobe Encore - the best way, currently, to create DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Great training on great software.

Almost eight hours of training - normally priced at $199. Now, you can get all eight for ONLY $49!  Here's the link - take a look at what this package covers. There's a ton of great ideas here for almost nothing.

Again, check out this amazing bundle here.

Last week, we had an All-Adobe issue. This week, I've got lots of FCP X goodies. Keep reading to learn more.

Here are two new FCP X keyboard shortcuts:

Cmd+B:  Cuts either the selected clip or the Primary Storyline clip at the position of the playhead or skimmer.

Shift+Cmd+B: Cuts all clips on all layers, whether selected or not, at the position of the playhead or skimmer.

Each week, I feature a different interview from our podcast: Digital Production Buzz.

This week, I want to highlight Ric Perez-Selsky, Technical Director for PopSugar.tv.

Ric is responsible for feeding hours of live programming every day to the PopSugar website. He uses Tricaster and a small crew to keep the entertainment news pipeline full.

In this step-by-step article, I show you three safe ways to move Events and Projects.

You can do this using FCP X, the Finder, or a third-party utility. This article covers all three -- bookmark this the next time you get confused about how to move stuff around.

Final Cut Pro X handles render files differently from FCP 7 -- in most cases this is good.

However, there are situations where render files can take up a LOT of hard disk space, without you knowing about it. In this article, I explain how FCP X handles render files, why you may need to delete them and how to do so.

Keyframes scare people.  So, in this video tutorial, I explain what keyframes are, why you would use them, and so you a simple way to apply keyframes -- using audio levels.

Along the way, I also show how to change the shape of audio fades and when you should consider changing the shape.

There are three places to create keyframes in Final Cut Pro X: the Inspector, the Timeline, and the Viewer.

In this video tutorial, I show how to create position keyframes in the Viewer, how to turn them into a motion path, how to add curves, then how to adjust each of the curves to control exactly how your image moves across the frame.

Many effects in Final Cut Pro X have movement, but don't support keyframes. Generators are one example, titles are another.

However, there is one title - the Custom title - that is crammed to the gills with animation effects. In this step-by-step tutorial, you'll see how you can change formatting and animation for this very flexible title tool.

There is amazing software in Adobe's CS6 release.

The problem is figuring out how it all works. Sure, there's plenty on Premiere and After Effects, but this bundle goes WAY beyond that.

In this training, you'll learn how to use Adobe Story, Adobe Prelude, Color correction and multicam in Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition,  Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Encore.

Normally, all this would set you back almost $200. However, we've put together a special bundle for only $49!

That's about six bucks an hour! If making the most of Premiere is driving your business, you need to get this bundle.

Here are the top three articles, webinars, and audio interviews for the past seven days.
