30 Final Cut Pro X Multicam Webinar Questions Answered

Scott Simmons | 05/28

A bunch of questions we didn’t have time to answer after the recent FCPX Multicam webinar

A couple of weeks ago I hosted a webinar with Moviola Filmmaking Webinars centered on multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X. These webinars are free to attend and available after for purchase on-demand. There’s always a ton of questions we don’t have time to answer so I thought I’d try and answer 30 of them here in a blog post.

Scott Simmons | 05/26

Studio Daily posted the review last week after pounding the thing on a number of edits

Last week Studio Daily published my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review. It’s a longie but a goodie as I tried to go into detail about what I really like and what I kinda don’t like about this brand new Premiere Pro. I had been pounding it hard on several projects before writing the review. I have had a few questions about exactly what kind of jobs I’ve been working on with it.

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse

Art Adams | 05/24

Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…

I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…

Super Heroic efforts rule the digital universe,

where we’re all acquiring and creating media at an alarming rate—media that requires vast amounts of storage space. If your clients are like mine, they are remarkably unsophisticated, sometimes even careless, about how and why to protect the valuable images we make for them. Drobo® changes all that. When they come crying to you, wouldn’t it be great to be the hero and say, “yes, I’ve got you covered!”

Creating 3D Text in After Effects

Rich Young | 05/30- 01:23 AM

a survey of methods

Creating 3D text in After Effects has long been a cottage industry, generating many workarounds and 3rd party plug-ins. Adding to the parade is one of the big new features in After Effects CS6, the extrusion and material options in the Ray-tracing renderer, which requires an Nvidia GPU. Many will benefit from beautiful renders by the new features, though many will get bogged down by requirements, render times, or inadequate features, and turn to older methods surveyed here.
