Scott Simmons
Scott Simmons was born in rural West Tennessee and didn't really realize that movies and tv had to be made by actual people until he went to college. After getting degrees in both Television Production and Graphic Design he was in one of the early graduating classes at the Watkins Film School in Nashville, Tennessee. During that time at Watkins he discovered editing. While most of his classmates in film school wanted to be directors, Scott saw real career opportunities in post production and took a job as an assistant editor after completing film school. In 1999, Scott took the leap into freelancing and in 2007 accepted a position as an editor at Filmworkers - Nashville. In 2005 Scott created The Editblog a website dedicated to all things editing and post-production which is now housed here at PVC. Someday he hopes to edit on a beach with a touch screen device, a wireless hard drive and a Red Stripe.

Feature Reminder: Content Aware Scaling in Photoshop CS4Every now and then it’s nice to have a reminder of a cool feature
Every now and then it’s nice to have a reminder of a cool new feature in a recent software update. That’s what I want to do with this reminder of content aware scaling that was added in Photoshop CS4. The other day I had been struggling for a little while trying to scale down an image to fit in the corner of the video screen while still maintaining a good focus on the subject, a car. I tried all of the usual ways of removing the car, adding it to another layer, blending the background and all sort of things. None of them produced an acceptable transformation. Just about the time the client walked in I had ventured under Photoshop’s Edit menu and there it was, a feature I had used in the past but completely forgotten about content aware scaling: more »Petition: Apple, give us Blu-ray support in DVD Studio Pro!It probably won’t happen but at least we can sign a petition and try
Apple’s opinions on Blu-ray have been well documented and even their general thoughts on regular DVDs isn’t all that strong these days. But no matter what Steve Jobs believes, out in the real world DVDs are still very popular and a lot of people do want Blu-ray options on their Macintosh and Blu-ray authoring in DVD Studio Pro. Adobe has added affordable Blu-ray support in Encore but that’s not as affordable as it being added into something you already own - DVD Studio Pro.
A Tweet began circulating this morning to sign an online petition called Apple, give us Blu-ray support in DVD Studio Pro! Who knows if Apple will listen but it doesn’t cost anything to sign. When you do sign the petition it asks for you to set up an account or sign in with Twitter. I didn’t do either, just supplied my name and my junk email, and it took my signature, creating a new account for me. The goal is 10,000 and it’s only at 24 at the time of this writing so please sign up and send the message to Apple that we want Blu-ray in DVD Studio Pro ... and by that we would get Blu-ray support on the Mac OS as well an upgrade to DVD Studio Pro!
