Join Kevan O’Brien as he discusses how shooting progressive video rather than interlace video allows for higher quality and clearer/less noisy web video. By shooting progressive you reduce the amount of processing the encoder does, saving time and getting a resulting higher quality video for the bit rate. The Canon XH A1 is featured in this podcast, showing the capability of shooting in progressive mode at both DV and HDV quality, depending on how the video is to be further exploited beyond the web.

One of the most popular questions I get from various Final Cut Pro users is what can they expect to gain from installing Production Premium CS3 and what will it mean to their future workflows. One thing that is perfectly clear is that the FCP users should expect to view Production Premium CS3  as an add-on to their current software and not a replacement to their favorite NLE editing app. The same would be true for any longtime Avid Xpress Pro or  Avid Media Composer Mac user as well.

In this episode, special guest Dave Helmly will run you through a concept edit from starting in FCP to PremierePro and AfterEffects and then back to FCP and finally to Bluray burning. Last step...Prove it...play it on a Playstation 3.
