Sohotank ST8 Review

OK, here’s the deal. You want a RAID...a PROTECTED Raid, and you are a do-it-yourself kinda editor...really hands on. There are lot of choices out there for all-in-one solutions, but you, like me, might like to do things yourself. Or, you want to start small and add as you go...but not get too crazy with the cost. I think I found a pretty good solution to that. The SOHOTANK ST8 by RAIDON.

Burn-in timecode will make your client happy

If you’ve ever had to send out a copy of an edit for client review (and really, what editor doesn’t do this on a very regular basis) then you may have very well been asked to provide a BITC. BITC stands for burn-in timecode and is as old as editing itself. Dylan Reeve noted right after this post went up that in some countries it’s called TCIP for Timecode in Picture.

RED Post – the Easy Way III

If you’ve read some of my past articles about RED, you know I’m not a huge fan of "native" editing using the camera raw files as source clips. I find that an offline/online workflow is still best for smoothly editing RED projects, yet it still retains access to the raw color data during the finishing process. Previously I discussed an easy workflow for Apple Final Cut Pro and Color users, but this isn’t the only solution.

The Future of Picture Editing

August 18, 2010, 05:27 PM

http://zaksthoughtsonfilm.blogspot.com/2010/08/loo...

Film editing has undergone a few major paradigm shifts since it’s inception with glue and splicers (and in-camera editing before that), but the greatest of them came in the late 80s with the mainstream acceptance of non-linear editing. This transition provided editors with a plethora of new tools that made their work more efficient and their means of accomplishing it more capable. But the most revolutionary thing...
