New details have emerged about Panasonic’s new micro four thirds camcorder, the AG-AF100. It will be able to record up to 12 hours via dual SD card slots in the AVCHD format using 64GB SDXC cards (48 hours in HE mode). The AG-AF100 will have XLR connections and a HD-SDI output, it will also record in 24p and 30p with variable frame rates.

If you’re shooting with a HDSLR this camera you’ve all been waiting for. It has an amazing sensor packed with XLR connections, a proper viewfinder, and HD-SDI output! Plus, it looks like it will be able to handle all types of lenses via adapters ensuring your lenses you’ve already spent a fortune on won’t be left collecting dust.

Adobe has announced that Audition, the audio application for recording, mixing, editing and mastering, will be coming to the Mac in a future release.

A beta of the new Mac version of Audition is expected to be available on Adobe Labs in Winter 2010. Audio editors and video professionals will now have more choices for audio production with Adobe Audition available on both PC and Mac. Hopefully this will kick Apple into high gear and maybe they might start focusing on their Pro Apps soon.

Check out these two videos for a full scoop on Adobe Audition on the Mac!

Wanna see what it looks like when someone uploads and then downloads and again re-uploads the same video to YouTube 1000 times.

Looks pretty scary, huh? This is caused from compressing the video over and over again which causes generation loss. This is definitely an extreme case but as this example shows you need to be careful when compressing your videos, because your losing bits and pieces of data that ultimately effect the video over a series of compressed copies. To avoid this always keep a master copy and don’t forget that uncompressed direct copies do not lose quality.
