This post at Creative Cow has a possible fix for importing an FCP 7 Project into Premiere Pro. And it is to import the media first and let Premier build the Cache and then import the XML! Smart.
According to a new PDF case study from Adobe, USC is giving up on FCP and teaching Premiere Pro. And not Final Cut Pro X. Nice. While Adobe is a full suite of apps, I think this kind kicks sand in the face of all those saying how FCP X is ready for professional usage.
Apple has confirmed the WWDC Keynote as June 10th. Lets hope the new MacPro arrives or my next Mac will be a PC!
Maximum PC has benchmarks on the new $600 video card, which is basically the rumored Titan LE. It has almost the CUD power, but they have removed the computational performance and left in the gaming abilities. As the Titan is basically a TESLA card for gaming and computing.I SO WANT ONE!!!
Chris and Trish Meyers at the ProVideo Coalition have an article on how to use the new Refine Edge Tool in After Effects Creative Cloud. And a second article on how some of the Roto Brush parameters have changed.Can't wait to get my hands on this!
Planet 5D posted this tidbit that seems to get left out by most, that Magic Bullet can do with the RAW mode, which is to make it a 3x zoom by changing the crop factor on the sensor! AWESOME!
So, I can't believe it, but it has been exactly one year since I had open heart surgery! WOW!Overall am doing pretty great. Have so much more energy, and am still walking every day. Now trying to figure out if I should keep taking the subway (which is great exercise, all those stairs and the walk, or park at work, which this company actually covers, so it would be cheaper). Thing is, the extra steps in the subway are what I think is helping me lose weight, so I will continue for now, even if I do sweat so much I need an extra shirt and towel to go to work with!Body is still getting in shape. My left hip is hurting, and when I walk fast, trying to beat my average pace my legs often cramp up. Chest does get sore too, though not as bad, and is more just the scar being sore than being too sore (at least right now, well see how I am in a few weeks of these hours).Still trending down in weight, though slowly. When I don't have the extra steps, which gets me up towards 10,000 steps, plus all the stairs I am slowing down, but with the extra exercise I do really trend down faster, so it almost worth the extra time and money. Hmmm.Couldn't be more thankful for the surgery! It really has changed my life! Now I just need to turn my body around as it isn't used to being able to exercise this much and is sore, and sweats too much (boy I hope that gets at least somewhat better).
New job, 12 hours a day 5-6 days a week, and no internet access, so...
