Avid has finally stepped into the real world in regards to Red Camera workflows. Check out their new PDF booklet . Avid is coming late to the table in promoting their RED support. Sure, Avid’s Michael Philips has been very active on the Red User site since the beta days, but that doesn’t come off as “official” company support. Personally, I’m glad to see the company finally get behind this effort, even though they have a ways to go to really support Red.

Adobe announced the release of CS 4 today. I had a chance to get a sneak preview a few months back and I can tell you it is worth the upgrade price. Just the inclusion of the Mocha Planar Tracker is worth the upgrade price alone. (Unless you already own it)
There are too many cool new features to list here. For a full look at the new feature set, check out the Adobe page.
I find this of great interest to Avid users, you can Interchange project file information with other applications in the production workflow. AAF import and export is available on both Mac OS and Windows. How well this ties to Avid’s AAF is yet to be seen.
Inevitably, many will be disappointed as their particular feature requests aren’t in there, but that shouldn’t take away from the overall package. For example, my graphics guys are unhappy about the memory limitations of 32 bit code.
We’ll be getting a closer look at the Editor’s Lounge this Friday, I’ll have more feedback then.

Can the job of creating a story via editing be automated, or would that just prove the infinite monkey theorem?
Imagine having the first cut of your story done for you in less than a minute… by a computer! That is what First Cuts claims to do. Wait a minute, before you discount this concept I have to tell you, it appears to work.
When I first saw a rough version of this software a few years ago, I thought someone was smoking crack. Then it finally shipped this week, and Philip Hodgetts and Dr. Gregory Clarke of Serendipity software have been vindicated. Now they have a bigger problem to face. Public shunning.
