A few weeks ago I happily recorded a new episode of That Post Show called Unstoppable Hydraulic Pressure. On this episode we talked at length about NLEs, how a good NLE is an extension of the editor and how editors often have an emotional connection to their tools. Of course we talk about Avid, Apple and Adobe along the way. Guests included Shane Ross, Steve Cohen, Paul Zadie, Paul Del Vecchio and host Kanen Flowers. You can subscribe to That Post Show in iTunes and give it a rating. That always helps.

There’s a new That Post Show up and online where we discussed the new Avid announcements, including Media Composer 3.5. In addition to myself and host John Flowers the guests included:

Norman Hollyn (normanhollyn.com, twitter.com/schnittman)
Jim Geduldick (www.finalcutuser.com, twitter.com/filmbot)
Jason Diamond (www.mbsproductions.com,twitter.com/jasondiamond)

It’s a good discussion if you are an Avid user or are thinking of becoming one. And since Media Composer is available as a 14 day free trial then why not give it a try! A complete set of show notes is available on the site as well.

If you aren’t listening to That Post Show then this is the week to start! John Flowers invited myself and Paul Zadie (Paul also does Film Dojo … John also does That Media Show) to sit in last night and we recorded a great (at least I think it’s pretty great) episode talking about … wait for it … POST! The episode is titled Avid Post Production and we touched on a lot of topics. We veered into the technical side of things a bit more than we all had expected but once we got going on the Avid vs. Final Cut Pro talk the ball really got rolling. While it may feel like we were (are) really down on Final Cut Pro I think a lot of the frustrations that we (me) are feeling at the lack of updates and attention that Apple has given to FCP really came out during the show. With the great upgrades that Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro have both seen recently FCP is sitting at the end of the line right now …. so let’s hop to it Apple!
