Last week's webinar was a very interesting mix of business and software. Thanks to some very interested viewer questions, I was able to present more than 20 demos for Final Cut, Premiere and Motion. It's available now in my Video Training Library and at a 25% discount in my store.

My next webinar - on March 19 - will be an overview of where media asset management fits into today's editorial workflow, an in-depth tour of Axle AI, and a sneak-peek at new features debuting at the NAB Show. I just installed it on my new M4 Pro Mac mini, so we can include hardware in our discussion. If you are looking for new ways to organize and find media, you'll enjoy this session. As always, registration for my live webinars is free.

Thinking of webinars, I have two highlights from last week. To start, Alan has always had problems creating smooth zooms using an iPhone. In this demo, I illustrate the new multiple lenses and zoom features in the iPhone 16 Pro.

Jason manages multiple editors and needs to transfer sequences from Adobe Premiere Pro to Apple Final Cut Pro. In this demo, Larry Jordan shows exactly how this is done.

Last week provided a unique (for me) perspective into the perils of AI for video editors. I’m not saying: “Don’t use AI.” But I am saying that we need to continue to view AI answers with skepticism.

We all want accurate color in our video. But, good golly it’s hard, as this conversation between Gary Bowman and myself illustrates.

Review: It is certainly NOT that my memory is failing. Nope. It is that I seem to be completely unable to remember a script. It was time to buy a teleprompter. Here’s my review of what I bought.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, politics are impacting our industry. From threats targeted at PBS, using the FCC to control broadcast content, or re-defining America's relationship with Europe, extreme change is everywhere. This now includes potential boycotts on attending the NAB Show from companies and attendees in Canada, along with blowback from other countries.
Based on the current tone emanating from Washington, these changes are likely to increase. While I am not surprised this is happening, it is still sad. I don't have a solution - but wanted to let you know that this year's show may be more fraught than usual.
Until next Monday, stay safe, stay healthy and edit well.
