So much to talk about this week - including a
NEW UNcontest!
First, I have five new articles for you this week, including a "think piece" on trends I see coming in 2018. There are several that trouble me, so, as always, I'm interested in your opinion.
Read it here.
Last week's webinar covering the
new features in Final Cut Pro X was well-received. In fact, I have three video excerpts derived from it for you this week. However, in planning the session, I realized that there wasn't enough time in one webinar to cover all the new features AND go into detail on the new
Color Tools.
So, this week's webinar is exclusively devoted to the new
Color Tools in FCP X - how to use them to correct color problems and make your images look great. As always, registration is
FREE - AND we are presenting TWO shows.
Sign up here - this one will fill quickly! This session will be part technology and part craft. It's one of my favorites.
Tom Coughlin and I have partnered to present a session at his upcoming Creative Storage conference. His conferences talk to storage developers and I want to present a session showcasing the intersection of storage and media: The DIT! If you are a
DIT, or regularly act as one, and would like to inform the storage community on the challenges you face, send me an email. We are looking for five speakers for a June event. This is not paid, but we'll do what we can to make you famous. Send me an
email here.
Also, now that the holidays are over and both Final Cut and Premiere are past their latest updates, I decided it's time to run a contest. Um, no. I am
running an UNcontest - because there are no prizes. Here's the deal: if you have ideas on how you'd like Apple OR Adobe to
improve the interface for FCP X or Premiere, send me an email.
I'll compile all the answers I get (I KNOW I'm going to regret writing that...) then, turn it into a nice package and send one to Apple -
for Final Cut - and one to Adobe -
for Premiere. As well, I'll publish them so you can see what your fellow editors are complaining about....!
This will either be fun... or I'm gonna get buried. Either way, I'll make sure to share your comments with the "powers-that-be" and I'll keep you informed along the way.

My most popular article last week was on
LUTs - which surprised me, to be truthful. So, this week, I have a video which illustrates how LUTs work and expands on the article.
Watch it here.
And, don't forget the
Digital Production Buzz. Last week's show featured our team of experts predicting what we'll see happen in
2018. Everyone brought their own perspective and I was surprised by what many of them thought - especially when they talked about the technology they felt would not survive the year. It was an interesting show.
Well, I'm up to my eyebrows in new products to review - more reviews are coming shortly - plus, school starts today as well. So, the holidays are over, time to get back to work. Have an enjoyable week, chat with you next Monday. In the meantime,
edit well.
