Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Tantalizing News From Telestream

Apple ProRez Encoding On The PC?

image

It’s no secret that I am a PC user.  I’m very happy with the performance of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (and all the other programs in the Adobe suite) on my HP Z800 machine.  However, some of my client’s end-users are Mac people, and have at different times demanded output in the Apple ProRez codec…

,,,which, of course, PCs cannot do.  At least, until now, if what Telestream has to say pans out.  Imagine my interest when I saw this headline in an email:

Telestream Enables Encoding to ProRes on Windows Server Products

Details as of now are hazy, and I have asked for clarification.  But if this turns out to be what it sounds like, it could be a great step forward in making peace between the Windows and Apple editing camps.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?  What do you think?
