I don’t do a lot of XDCAM work. Before the Canon revolution it seemed there was a lot more Panasonic HXV200 shooting than XDCAM in my market.

It seemed it was a two step process: re-wrap the original media to XDCAM .mov files and then convert those to ProRes.

I got my hands on an AJA IO Express and so far I am loving it. As I have explained before, I decided to go with a the 17 inch MacBook Pro for my home editing system because I usually work in other offices where Mac Pros are provided. The AJA IO Express is a great upgrade for my system. It’s takes it up a step or two in terms of making me feel like I have a complete system on the go or in the office. So far I have used it with Avid Media Composer 5.5...

Is this the best free plug-in ever?

One thing that used to drive me crazy was when a client asked me if I could pull a video off the internet. The short answer I always gave was....."sort of"......or "it depends on what type of video". Well, I don’t say that anymore. With this absolutely free plug-in for both Mac and Windows, this once annoying "problem" now becomes a piece of cake.
