UPDATED 9/6/11 at the end of the article. Today we had our incredibly awesome friend Ron Anderson in the shop to test out the workflow from both Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro using a native workflows into Resolve. The man is a colorist extraordinaire who has gone back to his roots on Davinci …
There’s been so much talk about a “new paradigm” and “a new beginning” lately courtesy of Apple. Defenders of the “new paradigm” are quick to point out that this is an entirely new application, nothing like it has ever been done, therefore, Apple had to break with all convention to create Final Cut Pro X. …
EXCLUSIVE! (always wanted to say that!) When I get an email from Dan Desmet at Flanders Scientific asking “do you have any time available? I’d like to show you something” I always MAKE the time. One of the awesome benefits of being literally 15 minutes away from FSI is we get to see a lot …
We’re one week into our search to transition our facility away from Apple and Final Cut Pro so I wanted to bring everyone up to date on where we stand so far. This was a very busy week as you can imagine with both production work in the shop and many MANY requests for myself …
As we transition from Final Cut Pro to another NLE, I’m running a series of tests to determine which NLE will best suit our needs. We have been using the AJA Kona boards for years with FCP so it’s really important to me that the board work with whatever new software we go with. Happily …

As we transition from Final Cut Pro to another NLE, I’m running a series of tests to determine which NLE will best suit our needs. I got such a response from the first of our Transition series that I’m really glad to be able to bring you part 2. The biggest question I’m getting is …
Since my article appeared on the Creative Cow Website, Final Cut Pro X: What’s missing for some Pros, I’ve gotten multiple references to throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This one is quite good: “So I take it that FCP X completely vaporized your copy of FCP 7, and melted your CPU, and that’s …
No, that title is NOT a snide or sarcastic remark. That’s an honest Thank You to Apple. In 2000 when I opened the doors to Biscardi Creative Media my realistic three options for an NLE were Avid, Media 100 and Final Cut Pro. Obviously I went with Final Cut Pro in large part because of …
As we look elsewhere for another NLE to take over where Final Cut Pro 7 leaves off, I’ll be posting a series of entries detailing what we’re doing, what we’re looking at and ultimately why we made the decision we made. Yes Final Cut Pro 7 still works in our shop today and for short …
Yesterday the Creative Cow published my latest article about Apple’s New Final Cut Pro X which is part review and part discussion of where our company will go from here. Final Cut Pro X – What’s missing for some pros
I was fortunate enough to be invited to do a podcast with the great Richard Harrington for our thoughts on the new Final Cut Pro X and how it might come into play in our facilities. Richard is the owner of a post production facility in Washington DC so we came at this software from …
