Here are 15 utilities for managing FCP preferences.

How could documentary cinema change for the better?

This REDuser post is a great after NAB read about the current state of RED.

Archiving is important, even for indies (I may have linked to this before).

One of the regulators who ok’d the NBC / Comcast deal has now joined Comcast as a lobbyist. Sad.

It was a big NAB show last week with lots of people attending and a lot of products announced. This is a short linkage edition but with the NAB show there’s a lot of to kill time with. Here are some links from around the web.

FreshDV has some of the best coverage around the web. They did a ton of videos on everything from production to post so you can kill a lot of time watching their coverage.

Pro Video Coalition has its own dedicated NAB 2011 page with stories on many different NAB related topics. I posted a few iPhone videos over at the Editblog on PVC.

Of course we all know that Apple gave us a sneak preview of Final Cut Pro X and there’s tons of discussion of what we saw … of course. I posted my own piece about the demoed features as I saw them go by. All the usual suspects have chimed in: Larry Jordan, Walter Biscardi, Philip Hodgetts. Mike Jones says that FCP X is really not so new. I don’t think Digital Rebellion was there but they have comments from a developer pov. Here’s another piece that has what looks to be the best video captured that night.

fxguide has their NAB 2011 Wrap Up.

Digital Production Buzz had coverage every day of the show.

Here’s a report from an After Effects pov.

Studio Daily has a bunch of NAB videos. Post Magazine has their own NAB coverage as well.

Vimeo was at NAB too.

goforjared updated #NABshow coverage here. Check it out! http://bit.ly/91rKQx

Are you free next Monday evening (April 11) during your visit to NAB? If so then consider attending the MediaMotion Ball. This is an event that I had heard about for years (this is the 14th year) but attended last year for the first time. It was a really great networking opportunity but I felt I had to head out too early to attend the ALL-IN Film charity poker event (itself quite an enjoyable time). I think trying to hit both in one night was too much so this year I’m going stick with the MediaMotion Ball. According to the MM Ball website the crowd consists of “attendees from various email groups and online forums.The IMUG and After Effects email lists form the basis of the MediaMotion Ball.” But there will also be a lot of familiar faces from user groups, online forums and Twitter lists that will be there as well. Being a post-production guy it feels like the MM Ball is a bit more post-entric while the ALL-IN poker event is a bit more DSLR oriented. This is no small event as there’s a lot of people involved in putting it together. If it’s been around for 14 years then they must be doing something right!

The cost of the MM Ball is $35 in advance and $45 at the door, that is if there are any door tickets left. It begins on Monday, April 11, 5:30pm in the Golden Room at the Sahara Hotel. That price includes food and an entry into the prize drawing. Food is served at 7 pm and we all know we need food at the end of a day on the show floor. Like most NAB events there’s some great sponsors and great prizes that will be given away. I think what’s most important to take away from the MM Ball is that it presents some time away from the hustle and bustle of the exhibit show floor to actually put names with faces and have a meaningful conversation. Grab your own tickets (and you can even have a look here and see who’s signed up already) and we’ll see you at the 2011 MediaMotion Ball.

This Japan Quake Map is amazing to watch as it shows the quake and its aftershocks in a way you may not have seen before. Consider donating to the Red Cross if you can. Or Doctors Without Borders for another great cause.

Avid Media Composer 5.5 has shipped. You asked, Avid listened. And Freddy’s big list of Avid links has been updated accordingly.

There’s been a lot of speculation on the next version of Final Cut Pro. I speculated a bit more. And this Cinema5D thread is just insane in its length and discussion on the topic.

Here’s the NAB exhibit interactive floorplan.

Are you going to the NAB SuperMeet? You could win a $30,000 DaVinci Resolve.

The RED EPIC articles and footage are starting to really fly. Check out The Impossible Shot.

These shooting tips from the edit suite are good shooting tips for all shooters.

Even if you don’t know what frankenbiting is you’ve probably done it before.

If you use Media Composer and AMA then you should know how to get out of the yard.

Here’s a great piece on DaVinci Resolve vs. Nucode Film Master.

Did you see all the 28 Days of Quicktips collected into one place?

Did you know you can communicate with Adobe’s pro video and audio teams?

If you don’t use multiple FCP window layouts you really should learn how to do it.

So you CAN install iMovie on a first generation iPad.

Try x264 as an alternative to H.264.

That’s a cute video to promote the Arri Alexa and your studio.

AJA Ki Pro Mini vs. nanoFlash.

Being an editor is hard work. And again but different: Being an editor is hard work.

If you’re wondering about SAN storage system then read this article.

And if you’re wondering about an “inexpensive” display for your post production then this article might help with that.

Another way to wirelessly control FCP with your iPhone.

I like to read about other’s Adobe Lightroom workflow since I use it and I’m not a pro photographer.

We’re doing 28 Days of Quicktips again over at the Editblog on PVC. And we’re also looking for reader submitted Quicktips. The best one gets  their choice of  a book and some iOS software. There’s been some great ones submitted thus far.

This is an interesting Motion Graphics Salary Survey.

This is a nice, quick trip for beginners through the After Effects 5 user interface.

If interesting in the new Panasonic AF100 here’s two good articles about this new cam.

Tao of Color has been continuing the move from Apple Color to DaVinci Resolve.

Magic Bullet Denoiser updated to fix some of the buggyness.

There’s a lot of good reading here about case studies in film editing.

And if you’re interested in mocha then here’s a good case studying using mocha AE.

Plus here’s a review of the powerful mocha Pro.

Do you need some cool uses for a monopod?

Doing some hand drawn animation in After Effects?

So, Lightworks editing software is free and nobody cares … apparently.

Shiny Shit is “A documentary about how one film editor decided to get even.”

Darren Aronofsky recommends these books about making movies.

If you ever need an editing application for Windows there’s apparently at least 18 free ones.

This CollabraCam iPhone app is kinda like a multicam production tool.

These are nice editing metaphors.

Everyone out there should look at this Fast, Cheap, Great infographic.

As I write this it’s Tuesday night. Time is running out for two separate but equally cool things happening in our video production and post world. One is an educational bundle and one is an event. Both have only a few days left before they are gone!

The Tenth Annual San Francisco FCPUG SuperMeet is this coming Friday, January 28. Tickets are on sale now for $15 with $20 tickets at the door. As always there’s quite an agenda for this SuperMeet including a number of actual Final Cut Studio presentations! One of those is a presentation by the makers of the hilarious I The ProRes Maker music video. And there will be presentations on 3D and Smoke on Mac among others. Of course the world famous raffle is taking place  once again with over $47,000 in prizes. One of those prizes is an AJA Ki Pro Mini so if it’s actually shipping by then the winner may be one of the first owners!

All the information you might need to know about attending the the Tenth Annual San Francisco FCPUG SuperMeet is available at the SuperMeet webpage. Looks like it’s going to be a fun show.

The other item available this week only is a superbundle that FilmmakingWebinars.com has put together with all five DSLR filmmaking webinars they’ve produced thus far. This is $50 for five webinars and includes the  5 on-demand webinars, bonus material, podcast interviews as well as project and media files for trying out what was learned.

The 5 topics include the Production Reality Check, Post Workflows (which was my particular webinar), Color Grading Workflows, Audio Techniques Production and Post and DSLR Stabilizing Techniques.

This is a one-of-a-kind bundle so if you’re new to DSLR filmmaking the price of $50 really can’t be beat for the sheer volume of material you’ll get for that price. But hurry as this sale is only good through 1-29-2011.

TomCruise.com had a recent article about editing and the Editblog on PVC got a mention!

Studio Daily has posted my DaVinci Resolve for Mac review. It’s from an Apple Color user’s pov.

If you’re an Avid user then read this post about QuickTime workflow for proper brightness levels.

And here’s a must read piece if you’re syncing dailies in Avid Media Composer.

Yet another great article from Oliver Peters about demystifying color grading.

If you’re wondering about RED’s HDRx then this post explains a lot.

ProLost is trying to help you determine The Shot You Can Make.
