When I play movies on<br /> my Apple TV, there are always black area at the top and bottom of the screen. I<br /> downloaded a kind of software named Handbrake, and convert movies to other<br /> formats and set the ratio. However, it is so complicated. I think it is an<br /> obstacle to enjoy movies because of the back area. Anybody could give me some<br /> advice? </p> <p>Thanks a million!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-advice-and-reccomendations-on-set-up#post-58735 Wed, 19 May 2010 05:16:10 +0000 southernhunter 58735@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi all,  I have been filming outdoor turkey hunts for a few years now and have several hunts that I am wanting to edit and make a DVD to give to friends and possibly pass out at tradeshows to hopefully "get noticed".  Ultimately it would be a dream to be able to produce and sell some DVD's to help pay for my "hobby" which is hunting and filming my hunts.  I have a Canon XH-A1</p> <p>I am in need of some advice and guidance as I am very un-educated on the editing/production part.  I am a fast learner and intuitive thinker, but this is an area that I am just about to get involved in.</p> <p>I am looking at the Mac's and trying to decide on what would be a great set-up for me.  I don't have to have the best of the best, but I do want to have more than what is sufficient for me to start to get involved in learning and editing and producing my videos.</p> <p>I am trying to decide between a MacbookPro or the MacPro and any variations of each that would be reccomended.  Info on such things as extra monitor, monitor/screen size, memory, graphics, external storage, external keyboard if I go with notebook, connections, etc.  Also, I was thinking of FinalCut Express for starters unless it is recommended that I go with FinalCut Pro.   </p> <p>Any guidance and advice is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for helping a newbie.  I am sure I will have many more questions along my journey.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-used-on-9-out-of-10-oscar-documentaries#post-56088 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:18:52 +0000 Derek Sine 56088@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Apple scored some Oscar cred of its own: Of the ten documentaries nominated for Oscars, in both the "Documentary Feature" and "Documentary Short" categories, a whopping nine were created using Apple's own Final Cut Pro. </p> <p>If you think Apple's 90 percent showing in the Oscar documentary categories is impressive, you'll be even more awed to learn that the one holdout that didn't use Final Cut Pro was actually edited entirely on an iPhone 3GS.</p> <p> </p> <p>Source: <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/190966/final_cut_used_on_9_out_of_10_oscar_documentaries.html?tk=rss_news">PCworld.com</a></p>
