Video Compression Recipes
Free
Video compression is one of those elusive crafts that can quickly botch an otherwise perfect project. There are so many variables that can go wrong that users quickly become frustrated by how to solve their problem and just get their content completed. On top of this, technologies change so rapidly today that often best practices from even a few months ago may be out of date and replaced by new and improved workflows. The solution is a basic understanding of video and a grounding in the software and hardware required to get the job done.

In this webinar, Andy Beach will walk us through some fundamentals of video compression, then show us how to apply them in some of today’s most popular applications including Telestream’s Episode Pro among others. Those new to compression will gain knowledge as well as old hands looking for new “recipes”, processes and workflows to improve how they do their job.

VFX PLUG-INS ESSENTIALS: GenArts Sapphire™ Edition
Free
When you’re entrusted with a big job from a major corporate client, you don’t always get the footage that you need to make it stand out. This challenge is all too familiar for Rob Birnholz, owner and Senior Editor and Designer of Absolute Motion Graphics, who is tasked every day with taking conventional, ordinary footage to new levels.

Join Rob, as he demonstrates tips and tricks on how he uses Adobe After Effects with GenArts Sapphire™ to bring, otherwise dull footage, to life for nationally recognized corporations. Rob will walk through the importance of using plug-ins and other tools to exceed his clients’ expectations while setting himself apart from other small shops.

Although this demonstration is done on After Effects, the same tips and techniques can be applied on other platforms such as Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid, plus others.

Storytelling with Final Cut Pro 7
Free
Editors love to tell stories. And Final Cut Pro is a great tool to use for molding the footage you’ve shot into a story that is entertaining and even captivating. But it doesn’t help to use a comprehensive app like Final Cut Pro if you don’t know how to tap into the numerous ways in which FCP can help you organize, develop, craft, and cut together all the elements you will need to tell the story you want to tell.

In this webinar, Diana Weynand will inspire you to create a masterful story while utilizing specific features of FCP 7. She will show you how to organize, shape, refine, and share your sequence, and guide you through the process of utilizing FCP functions that may have been hiding from you or ignored. And like any great artistic master, you will learn to carve (or create) your own masterpiece one video clip at a time.

Smoke on Mac
Free
With the introduction of Snow Leopard OS on Mac, it is now possible for the first time to run Smoke on non-Irix/Linux systems enabling the full power of high-end finishing systems to become accessible to more users.

For many years, there was always the need of having a Mac in a Smoke bay for file transfers, and file prep. Now your Mac IS the Smoke system. This means that, during your daily digital media production, you can run Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Smoke all on the same system. And with it’s ability to support more QuickTime CODECS then Linux ever will, Smoke on Mac is actually better in some ways than its Linux brother.

This webinar will provide digital artists interested in taking their post-production workflow to the next level, an overview of the Autodesk® Smoke® high-end finishing system. We’ll discus tips for conforming Avid and Final Cut Pro timelines, how to use Adobe Photoshop files, and many other helpful hints for the new Smoke user.
