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.

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.

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.
