Wow, Feedly is really listening, and they have made a true list view instead of their former one which was part magazine, part list. Woohoo! Version 14.1 for iOS really does make it more reader like.
Now I want Pinboard and Pinterest integration!
A very good article as it makes you look at it from both sides, and see it is not just the studios fault, it is also bad business practices within FX houses, and how both sides need to sit down and talk this out. And also interesting that Studios will often pay a change if they make a big enough change and it is in the contract.
I still think that Studios need to slow down on their insane schedules so that things can be done in a more reasonable time. A more normal schedule would make the whole thing more pleasant and lead to better FX in the end.
I didn’t see this covered anyplace else, but Definition Magazine has an article on it. And you can check it out at Blackmagic Designs web site. $1995 for the currently available 2D version and $3995 for the soon to be released 3D version.
Amazing that you can get the best quality conversion for this cheap now, and it includes the video scopes software from Blackmagic as well.
I love what Blackmagic is doing. Doing amazing things for low prices, and really changing the face of the video market!
Barefeats has some speed tests and things are looking good for gaming, though I would like to see some Premiere Pro and After Effects Speed tests (especially with the Quadro 5000K in the tests).
Now if only Apple would allow more than 2GB of RAM (yes I know the QUADRO 5000K has 4GB of RAM, but you still have to hack your mac to get a PC NVIDIA card to run that has more than 2GB of RAM).
3D world has an article on Isotrpix new 3D Compositing and Rendering software Clarisse iFX. The software runs around 3 grand, or more with a continuing license. And it is supposed to let you render and see more of an image while you work, and is a 3D rendering engine and 2D compositing engine in one.
Looks like some very cool software for 3D, and they also have a 15 day free trial. Check it out at their web site.
Scott Summons at ProVideo Coaltion talks to AVID and EditShare. Worth checking out!
I am still not 100% that Media Composer 7 is a big enough upgrade. Great that AMA is upgraded and working like AVID Media does, though you have to put it in a specific place, so it isn’t quite AMA anymore.
Never tried out LightWorks, but I am excited to give it a try once it makes it to Mac.
At the Pro Video Coalition are a couple of great video interviews by Scott Simmons.
Worth Checking out.
John Brawley has an excellent hands on with the new Blackmagic Pocket Camera. And info on the 4K. Sounds like an impressive little camera, though with a little rolling shutter issues, that the 4K should fix.
Amazing that Blackmagic has become such an impressive camera company in such a short period of time! And $1000 plus lenses is a steal for a 1080 camera!
