    World’s Greatest Transcoder Avid’s New Mix-and-Match for Media Composer
    by: 
    		 3/12/2010 4:27 PM
    For editors, there’s good news and bad news concerning camera manufacturers. The good news is that a stream of innovative, impressive and technologically amazing new cameras are being rolled out that shoot fantastic new formats for independent filmmakers, DPs and directors of all kinds. The bad news is that we have to edit the footage.

    I was just becoming awesome at transcoding when Avid released its “mix-and-match” feature for Media Composer 4.0. With mix-and-match, any kind of footage c Read More

    In Review: Ikan VX-9 Monitor
    by: 
    		 3/12/2010 4:17 PM
    The VX-9 is a plastic-cased LED monitor which has maximum versatility through the inclusion of every possible I/O option. Up to this point, all LED monitors included component video inputs as well as SD options such as composite or S-Video. From that point, users could opt for those standard I/O’s and either SDI or HDMI. The VX-9 includes both SDI and HDMI. Note that there is a single SDI channel both in and out (loop through) while it only accepts HDMI in. Read More

    In the Field: Producing SDEs with the Canon 5D and 7D
    by: 
    		 3/08/2010 2:49 PM
    If Gebbs Wedding Films' Michael Gebben didn't have a strict personal policy against selling clients on technology, you can bet he'd be bragging about the two most significant additions to his arsenal he's made recently: Canon's 5D Mark II and EOS 7D DSLRs. For Gebben, a rising industry star whose demo was recently selected for use in the nationally syndicated TV show Wedlock or Deadlock, these so-called fusion cameras have made his already great-looking same day edits (SDEs)-his studio's special Read More

    An In-Depth Comparison of the Canon Rebel T2i and Canon EOS 7D
    by: 
    		 3/03/2010 9:36 AM
    If you are familiar with the more expensive Canon EOS 7D, you'll notice that quite a few of the features listed above were handed down from this camera. There is a lot of chatter online about the viability of the EOS 7D now that the Rebel T2i offers many of its features but with a price savings of $900 (based on street pricing). The thinking is that maybe they should get the Rebel T2i instead and put the extra $$$ toward better & faster lenses. Since this overview was written with the idea of he Read More
