Engadget has the announcement of 3 new QUADRO cards from NVIDIA based on Kepler to fill the space over the $2500+ K5000. They have the K4000 for $1300, the K2000 for $600 and the K600 for $200. Nice. Not for gaming, but great for 3D and architectural and video work.
Dare Dreamer Magazine has an article on using compound clips instead of projects to make new sequences, since new projects take up a lot more hard drive space.Sounds interesting, though it does just further highlight the continued issues with FCP X. Not being able to share renders between Projects (which are sequences in FXP X) seems ridiculous, and not very power user friendly.Still just can't see myself every trying FCP X again, not when Premiere Pro CS6 and AVID Media Composer are out there.
Engadget has the news on new Atom CPU for NAS, that would allow multiple simultaneous streams, and smart video scaling.This is great, wish it had come out sooner. I have my iTunes library on a Synology NAS (not only backs itself up on a second drive, but allows me to stream music from anywhere or store files on the NAS to access from anywhere), but it doesn't like 2 accesses at the same time. If I am listening to music and access the NAS via the finder, I will lock my finder up for a while, it slows down so much, so a speedier CPU that would allow multiple connections would be awesome!!!
MacTech has news on the releases of the new Magna ExpressBox 1T Thunderbolt PCI Adapter to add PCI cards to your thunderbolt equipped mac.A very cool idea, though I would still rather have a tower with PCI Slots built in, but this is great for a portable solution, though $500 is a bit pricy.
Appleinsider has heard rumors of Apple working on 2 GB SSD's for the new MacPro with a standard SATA connector.And while that would be awesome, at least for a boot drive, the cost would be so prohibitively expensive that it would be useless! And the fusion drives scare me as if one drive goes you lose everything (though you should be backing it up anyway). Still the most hopefully thing out of this is that maybe we will be getting a new MacPro soon. I SURE HOP SO!!!
Premiere Beat has a great little article on using Adobe Prelude to ingest your media for editing in Premiere Pro.
Engadget is saying that Wacom is hinting at a mobile tablet in the near future. If this could be a combination Cintiq for your home computer, this could be amazing. I have always wanted a Cintiq, but could never afford one, though I have used Wacom tablets for years and years. Even a table that can use a pen would be so much better for art than using your finger, and a full Wacom would be even better.I hope this happens and at a fairly reasonable price, as this could be huge!
Worth Checking out their results. I am sure this makes PC users wish they have the full ProRES suite!
I thought i was done being sore post surgery, but i sure was wrong.Doing a 2.1 mile every morning without a problem (well I have had some leg pain from the walking at various times), and have been using a 10 pound kettle bell about 3 times a week. Well that was getting easy so I switched to my 15 pound Kettle bell, and the next day woke up as sore as I have been in many months. My chest is so sore! Youch! Both on the sides by my shoulders and on either side of the scar. Now it is getting better, but I am back to the 10 pounder for the time being, and see just how sore I am.
Kino Eye has an article on setting up a Documentary Starter Kit with Consumer Gear.I don't know any of this gear, though I do have a consumer canon HV20 HDV camera and love it, so hopefully their quality has kept up.
