4th of July Weekend Newsletter Update

A few weeks ago, we published our fifth electronic newsletter: PVC Pipeline | Post, which included an essential article making your videos searchable using Adobe’s automatic transcription feature, a great tutorial on using Mocha for After Effects CS4 on a tricky tracking shot, a deep explanation of where non-square pixel aspect ratios came from and the confusion surrounding the new numbers that appeared in Creative Suite 4, and a very handy primer for those thinking about switching over from Final Cut Pro to Avid Media Composer, taking advantage of Avid’s new free trial version. Subscribers had exclusive access to these articles for the past few weeks. These articles are now available for all PVC visitors to view; a list of them is included below.

We are about to publish our sixth newsletter, which will be the second edition of our PVC Pipeline | Distribution publication, covering a variety of subjects in the areas of web video, mobile media, and more.

PAR for the Course

by Chris Meyer

Over the years, I have seen a lot of folklore and bad math employed to determine how to work with non-square pixels, resulting in a plethora of incorrect working practices.

Searchable Video with Creative Suite 4

by Richard Harrington

With the proliferation of video on the Web, access to information is getting easier to find and understand (for most). The challenge is twofold: first is getting people to find and search your video for the right information and second is if the individual has an auditory impairment, so much information is only available in the audio t
