pomplamoose video fcp7

Stop whatever you are doing and take three minutes to watch this amazing music video from Pomplamoose. We get tired even thinking about the amount of work that went into making it on FCP7! Very clever.

edit button 2 upgrade

Two years on from its initial release, Edit Button, the innovative edit application with the very, very simple GUI has been updated to version 2. New audio features, continuity fixers and err, a render block option.

We think this is an excellent opportunity to remind everybody that we have access to some of the most powerful tools available to video and film producers. You can grade your production with exactly the same software that colour corrected Ron Howard's multi-million dollar film Rush.

RED 4K FCPX Logan Kelsey

A treat this morning. No new products, no plugins, not even a new lens flare pack, just some great examples of 4K RED work that has been post produced in FCPX. Grab a coffee (you will get thirsty) and enjoy!

What did Shane's NAB video from yesterday start? After two conversations in the office and 3 emails, we thought we would go looking for the infamous 'Kiki Wipe.' We found the wipes and probably the best ever demo video (erhem) you'll see for a computer that handles video. Yes it's Friday.

everything_is_a_remix_4

We got so excited when Kirby Ferguson's final part of the remix series was released, we just wanted to post it straight away. But before we hit the publish button, we thought we would save if for an off topic Friday watch. Brilliant.

editors_creative_process

Nacho Mayals Mira left his screen capture program running whilst he edited a one minute short on Final Cut Pro 7 for a film festival. You can watch what went on from start to finish.

Visualmasterpiece_FCPX_wedding

Michael Padilla from VisualMasterpiece got in contact with us as his latest showreel was edited completely in Final Cut Pro X. Impressive stuff and we've even got a BTS video on how they shoot a wedding.
