Adjust your volume before playing…

Another interesting story from F-Stoppers:

So here’s the story; Patrick and I had the idea for FStoppers and we knew that we had to create a bunch of videos to get others excited about creating their own. We had some free time and some money in the bank after a solid wedding season so we decided to go to Vegas. We did not do a good enough job planning anything. We had some ideas but we never really set anything in stone so by the time we got to Vegas we had a couple of models lined up but nothing else. We only brought 3 cameras, 3 lenses, and 3 flashes, and the flycam.

One night we go out with one of our model friends (Tatiana) in Vegas and she introduces us to some guys from NYC that happen to be staying in one of the most expensive rooms in all of Vegas. Long story short, these guys leave the next day but buy their room for one more night so that we can stay there and shoot in it the following day. Being able to stay and shoot in this amazing $15,000 per night room was the highlight of my trip.

Here is a behind the scenes view of the Vegas event….

Final Cut Pro – Log & Transfer Beefs Up

Logging

Log & Capture is how we bring in media from tape. Log & Transfer is how we bring in media that is tapeless. And the latest version of Final Cut has made this process much more robust.

Most times, for safety, we store the original source media on hard disks that are not attached to our computer. That way, we can’t erase files by mistake. The new version of Final Cut makes it easy to find and mount missing volumes when you need to recapture clips.

In addition, the Logging section has been improved to make it easier to log clips with an improved naming section.
