So it has been a little while since I wrote my last post. It seems like something that keeps gets put on the back burner. Anyway… update time; Code Academy is rocking! We have started into week 7, Code Academy just had its first Startup weekend, and the new Code Academy site just launched. I [...]

They say if you are going to build an application, building something that you want is the best way to start.  I began building my app this weekend and it really got me motivated. I was able to use pretty much all of what I had learned so far in my first 3 weeks at Code [...]

After one week of Code Academy my mind is off and running.  We have barely lifted off and I have already started to get all sorts of ideas in my head. We started to dig into the Ruby programing language, create the basic structor for a rails app, and I have a stack of great [...]

So we’ve all now seen it, FCPx.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t at NAB, so my knowledge about the new Final Cut Pro is limited.  Philip Hodgetts and Walter Biscardi as well as a number of others, have great write ups about the new software and their feelings on it.  My take on it all is that [...]

Just a NLE

With the imminent release of the next generation of Apple’s Final Cut Studio, the FCP vs AVID vs Premiere vs ________ (insert your NLE) debate will surely be happening.  I wanted to take this time to talk about what all these programs really are, non-liner editing software, and they are all the same.

Editing, motion graphics, DVD creation. Getting products created and delivered. A lot of my recent [...]
