20,000 in 4 months. In an ELECTRIC CAR!!! Steve Sasman may be a bit crazy but what is even MORE crazy is that until I cornered the guy on Meerkat, he was going to cut all of his video blogs during the “Million Dollar Tesla Trip” in Screenflow. I talked Steve into meeting me on Skype on a Sunday afternoon so we could discuss somethings that would help him get thru the VIDEO portion of his trip. As for the driving and dealing with Charging the car up, I am NO help.

Trying to figure out Apple Marketing is tough. Alex Gollner and I try to decipher what happened at NAB 2015 and take a close look at what the new 3D Text in Final Cut Pro X and Motion really mean and ask the question, Do we really need it?

Amazing performance and incredible price, that’s what Sam Mestman, (yea, he’s back, I know) says about the new LumaSHARE shared storage appliance. Three days after NAB 2015, after a 2 days self imposed hibernation, Sam came out of his lab to talk about the brand new product he has been developing for video editors. LumaSHARE is a high speed, high capacity, yet affordable shared storage solution that is perfect for the small facility.

Hey MOM!!! I’m on a podcast! I don’t think that Daniel Ray Todd Villegas thought that after spending a week listening to me in the FCPWORKS Presentation Suite at NAB, that all of a sudden he would be on the show sharing what he learned with others. Often times I think that the most pure form of sharing information is when you hear what the normal guy off the street has to say. Todd is an editor from Santa Cruz California and clearly a forward thinking guy who spent a lot of time talking to the people around the Presentation Suite and it shows. You’re going to appreciate his insight.

Working solo or in a workgroup, it doesn’t matter but Ray Brown still has found FCPX to be an amazing asset in his career. Whether he is creating reality TV or commercials or person projects in Budapest Hungary Ray was able to transition from Final Cut Classic to Final Cut Pro X seamlessly. Ray also has long time exposure to the music industry growing up with his dad as founder of War, the very popular 70’s era funk band.

Confessing you are cutting in FCPX may be a career limiting move, but for Kenny Park it all turned out ok. After working on a feature documentary for an extend period of time at home, Kenny decided that it was time to tell the director that he had left Premiere Pro behind. Although Kenny is forced to use Avid in much of his work in Glasgow Scotland, his clear preference is FCPX.

Timeline based color grading has been a dream of mine for years. Recently I stumbled across Color Finale, a new $99 plug in by Color Grading Central and immediately contacted Denver Riddle to come talk about its use and development. We also spend a fair amount of time discussing Resolve and some workflow issues that I’ve been perplexed with. Denver is a very knowledgeable guy and I think you’ll enjoy this chat.

Brand new editor to FCPX, San Diego based Eric Naso is just getting started using Final Cut Pro X and is full of questions. In this episode we’ll discuss getting started with the software and go thru some of the basics of keywording and filtering and searching for clips and ways to make it easier for an FCP7 editor to wrap their head around a whole new workflow and why its worth giving it a try.

If you’re not careful and you spend too much time hanging out with me you may actually want to take a serious look at FCPX. Alex MacLean, my co-host on digitalCINEMAcafe has been hearing me go on and on about Final Cut Pro X for years now and when he recently was trying to streamline his workflow for posting files online for his grading clients I helped him develop a whole workflow around FCPX and Compound Clips. It didn’t stop there though. Now he’s embarking on a giant commercial spot and he’s go the bug. Hear how Alex has turned to FCPX for his main editor on this new project.
