Videoguys Recommended Laptops for Video Editing

videoguys.com | 08/12- 12:23 PM

We get asked all the time about what laptops we recommend for video editing.

This is a more difficult question to answer, because unlike a desktop, you are very limited in what upgrades and changes you can make after you buy it. So we are not going to recommend any specific models, but rather what brands of laptops we recommend and the model family they fit into.  Before we get into the Laptops, lets talk about the specs we look for:

Videoguys’ Options for Final Cut Editors

videoguys.com | 06/07- 06:51 AM

If you are a Final Cut Pro editor, unless you’ve been living in a cave up in the hills, you have heard all the hype about FCPX, the next generation of Final Cut Pro.

I’m intentionally not calling the product Final Cut Pro ver 10, because it isn’t a next version of Final Cut at all. It is a completely new application. They could have called it Norman or Wolf or Orange, because it is a brand new editing app called FCPX. When it ships it will be version 1.0 of FCPX, and with it will come all the bumps, hiccups, work-arounds and compatibility issues that every 1.0 software release encounters.

Videoguys NAB2011 Report, Part II: Avid, Adobe and more Software News

videoguys.com | 05/16- 06:08 AM

While Apple may have stolen a lot of the buzz from NAB with their Sneak Peak of Final Cut Pro X at the FCPUG Supermeet, that didn’t mean that the rest of the industry sat quietly on the sidelines.

Avid, Adobe, Grass Valley and others all had their own updates to talk about.  In fact, it looks like we’re entering the first stage of a war for marketshare among the three Big “A”s of editing, Apple, Adobe and Avid. While Apple fired the first shot with their FCPX Sneak Peak, Avid and Adobe still have plenty of bullets left and we must not forget about Grass Valley and Sony who have very viable offerings for the PC.

Apple’s Final Cut Pro X Sneak Peak – Professional or Prosumer?

videoguys.com | 04/21- 12:11 PM

Videoguys NAB2011 Report, Part I: Apple’s Final Cut Pro X Sneak Peak – More Than Meets the Eye

One of the big stories leading up to NAB2011 was the rumor that Apple had taken over the FCPUG SuperMeet and that they would be showing a sneak peak of the new Final Cut Pro X.  Apple didn’t just take over the SuperMeet, they took over NAB. You could not go to a booth or have a meeting without people talking about FCP X. There was a lot of speculation over what would be announced and what exciting news Apple had up their sleeve.

The download is for the Avid MC 5.5 application only, it does not include the 3rd party software Avid calls the Production Suite. Boxed units with Production Suite will begin shipping March 18th.  The only software in the Production Suite that has been updated is the Boris Continuum AVX, which goes from ver 6 to 7. All the other 3rd party software remains the same.
