So you think you want to be a digital media mogul? How in the world do I get all this crap set up so that you can do a podcast or a live stream? Richard Taylor and I do a full bore geek fest chat about how we both produce shows to talk about FCPX. Pay special attention to the discussion on audio, Richard and I are both kind of audio nuts.

Ever want to cut a whole feature length doc in FCPX? Yea… it can be done alright. Josh Meyers his head of Post Production at Emergent Order in Austin Texas and has vast experience with both Premier and FCPX. EO has cut docs in both and Josh’s insight is interesting. As always, we diverged into a lot of other topics, light the “Fight against Marginalization” and On-boarding new editors to work in FCPX. I hope you enjoy this ep.

We finally decide! OK… not really but if you want to listen to two FCPX users prattle on about how happy they are with the tool they use THIS is the episode for you. In all actuality Lee and I cover many topics including how Lee thinks I should take an Apple Certified Trainer class, and we also touch on his lectures that are scheduled for the FCPX Creative Summit in November.

Choosing a phone platform can be tough, or REALLY easy. If you’re a Mac fanboy you probably use an iPhone but I’ve always been intrigued by those that choose android AND use Macs. What drives their decisions and what do they see it breaking from the pack? More importantly what brings someone BACK to iPhone once they have “strayed”. In this episode Alister Robbie goes IN DEPTH on what he looks for in a phone and we discuss Google and their casual attitude toward privacy.

Patrick is what I would call a technological film-maker. He loves making movies, but he also really loves, and enjoys the tech he controls on a day to day basis. Coming off the post-production on “Faith Based”, a feature length comedy featuring Jason Alexander, Patrick found himself landing a new full-time job at frame.io. In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of working from home, as well as a rather deep dive into why Patrick likes the idea of 8K as a source for YouTube (not without a fair amount of pushback from me).

Struggling to write a tease for this episode… Cirina Catania is fascinating on every level. On this Creative Summit Teaser episode we talk about her history in this business as a documentary film maker, an podcast producer and even as a shooter for Mark Burnett’s  Eco Challenge, Cirina seems to have done it all. 

We also discuss mobile filmmaking and the thrill of teaching kids how to tell THEIR stories.

Is this a cautionary tale about saving a few bucks, or just a case of flawed troubleshooting logic and technique. Also… we learn about the GPU History window in Activity Monitor.

Iain is an Apple Certified Trainer and made his first video in high school in 1991. As with other episodes in the past couple weeks, Iain will be teaching at the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit 2019, November 7-9. We had a great chat about how he got into this business and some details about making superior educational products and his philosophies about it. Make sure you clear your calendar and book your place at the Creative Summit. Remember, use coupon code “Grill19” for a 10% discount when you buy your ticket.

PS. For those of you who care, Iain’s feed was coming over a Rodecaster Pro as his IO device and that, along with his Rode mic sounded FANTASTIC. What do you think of it?

FCPX Creative Summit 2019. For the past 5 years my friend Jeff Greenberg has worked tirelessly to create an event that was more than just a bunch of training. It this episode we’ll touch on a bunch of stuff. Why apples should be in every voice over booth, how to program an event that draws an audience and trainers from around the world, some highlights of the Editors Retreat, another Jeff Greenberg creation, as well as some thoughts on the new iPhone 11 Pro. 

Jeff also brings up a great thought, “Are we living in a Post PC Era?”.

Last but not least we’ll dip our toes into internet influencers and financial responsibility.

SOOOO much in one, WAY TO LONG episode.
