  • Final Cut Studio vs. Adobe CS5: Which One is Better?

    Final Cut Studio vs. Adobe CS5: Which One is Better?
    For all the scientific discoveries we've made in the past few decades, it's surprising how many mysteries there are still left to solve. What's the smallest sub-atomic particle? What are the limits of the human brain? Are there parallel universes similar to ours and if so, how do we prove it? That's why it's no surprise that for video editors there is still so much debate over the seemingly age-old question of which editing software is best. A quick look at the Videomaker forums shows just how much heated debate there still is and so, I've decided that even though having an opinion on this topic is akin to playing with fire, I would like to still give it the ol' college try. That being said, I am admittedly no expert on either Sony Vegas, Avid, CyberLink PowerDirector, or Corel Video Studio Pro, and so I leave the merits of those programs to both the Videomaker forum participants and any comments written below. However, it's only fair to say that for the past 7 years, I have been a Final Cut Pro editor. All the way back in my high school days in 2003, I was using the program to make promotional videos for both my school and church. That's not to say that I haven't had experience with Adobe Premiere though. Since making my way to Videomaker a year ago, I have edited more than 25 promotional and educational videos using Adobe Premiere so after a year with the program I feel like I have a good perspective on the good and the bad of both platforms.That being said (and I'm sure my lawyer will be fairly relieved), here are my thoughts on the merits of both Final Cut Studio 3 and Adobe CS5.

    iPad Lighting System
    Stop me if youve heard this one before. A restless mind or maybe too much late night pizza has you laying awake in bed. You decide that if you cant sleep you might as well do something productive, so you fumble in the darkness for your iPad for one more round of Angry Birds...

  • Adobe Audition coming to the Mac

    Derek Sine - June 23rd, 2010

    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.

  • Exporting for DVD with Compressor

    Derek Sine - June 16th, 2010

    Weve all been there: We just finished editing our masterpiece, but now what?! Well, if you want to export for the web, Ive already gotcha covered with my web compression tutorial But not everyones intended delivery is for the web. Many people want to export for DVD as well. In fact, I am willing to bet delivering via DVD is desired more than delivering via the web. So it only makes sense that I show ya how to do it.
