Writing these articles has really got me thinking about different ways of doing things. Recently, I was asked how to put burnt-in timecode onto a DVD that had already been authored, and there was no time to re-render and re-compress. With the speed of MacPro towers these days, editor logic tells us that the easiest way to do this would be to go back into FCP, drop a Timecode Generator Effect onto the timeline, re-render (as it is not realtime) and recompress for your DVD. Simple and straightforward. ...Read More »

Surf movies have been around since the late 50s, starting with the overblown Gidget flicks that detailed little about what was really happening in surf culture.

But if the viewer accessed the track from the main menu, you want the viewer to go back to the main menu instead....Read More »

In a recent time consuming search for a tutorial on how to create a water-color sketchy effect, I found only Photoshop compatible plug-ins. I am using Photo-Paint X4 which is capable of using many Photoshop filters; I tried them but none were really what I wanted. So I messed around within the program and I did come up with a sort of sketch effect, which if I am honest, isn't really what I wanted either.
