https://www.provideocoalition.com/maxon-releases-zbrush-for-ipad-offers-a-free-plan/ This is great news as Zbrush is the best 3D sculpting program, and having it on the iPad is such a great idea! Using a pen and on the go or on the couch!

Some applications I am excited about, like fixing stuff in shots or extending stuff, but the completely generative stuff is certainly a bit scary. I am sure some commercials will just be done with generative stuff, and that will likely take some work away from editors like me.

Honestly it is what I dislike so much about Final Citizen Pro, it forces you to work only how they want you to work and I feel like an engineer made the choices instead of an editor. And even AVId is not nearly as customizable as Premiere.
Thanks to PCWorld for this heads up. Make sure to go into settings in the app to turn this off right away.

OWC Warns users about upgrading to Sequoia with a 2019 MacPro and external Thunderbolt Enclosures. This really sucks as the improvements to raid and softraid would likely make it worthwhile, but it seems Apple is focusing more on Apple Silicon so these machines are really not their priority.

From Andrew Cunningham, his annual coverage of the annual Mac OS Release is always a must read to really get to know the new OS. This is always the best post about the OS that you will read! It is a must read. I am not working right now cause I am taking care of our baby, so I upgraded (mainly because of SoftRaid working), and honestly it is a pretty impressive OS so far. My biggest complaint has to do with iPhone Mirroring. If you want to automatically log into your phone, it automatically sets the sleep to having to enter your password every time you login, which I don’t want on my computer at home. The work around is to use an Apple Watch to automatically login. The problem is my Apple Watch 5 side button has frozen up, so I can’t use it for quick logins (or to ring the location of my iPhone)., though it does let me login.
https://youtu.be/Y3AFCvZ-epA Great video, but once again he skips over my favorite new feature the Color Slice tool, which is DaVinci’s answer to the recent Color DCTL’s. And love that the edit page has been added to the iPad version as I am not as much a cut page user.
