Skate videos don't get old.

Obvious Rodney Mullen influence… AMAZING production value. Great piece! Must see.

Ben James learned Premiere Pro!

So interesting how social media works. I don’t know Ben but he and I were both at Shane Hurlbut’s HDSLR Bootcamp back in August. I was working at it, he was attending. So we never met. Today Ben sends me a link to his video he cut from the student shot footage at Bootcamp. Ben cut it all in Premiere Pro and said the info on this site was really helpful.  Cool how all that works out isn’t it?

Great Job Ben!

This cracked me up.

Hold on, hold on, before you stop watching you HAVE to go about half way thru this.  I had NO IDEA it was coming and it BLEW ME away.  Funny video!

Talking about X2PPro is fun.

So i wanted to fill you guys in on a few details about the presentation that I’m doing next week.  I’m really excited about it.

The Presso is Monday, November 15 · 12:00pm - 1:00pm, Pacific Time (Cupertino,CA) and you can find some details about it here.

First of all, to see the presso you want to go to this URL but you’ll need to have an Adobe ID. To be honest, I hadn’t used mine in YEARS, I had forgotten my username and passsword so make sure you get all that figured out ahead of time. There’s gonna be some fun stuff in the beginning that you won’t want to miss… seriously.

UPDATE: I THINK YOU CAN LOG IN AS A GUEST AND DON’T NEED AN Adobe ID

Second, I just want to say how cool Adobe has been about this. There is some stuff I want to talk about that I feel every Final Cut Pro user should know about and I contacted Adobe today to see if it was ok to bring up some history that could be considered a ‘wee bit controversial’ and basically they just said, “make sure everyone knows that what you are saying is your own words” and, to borrow a phrase heard all to often on TV, “not neccessarily the views of the station or its employees.” Basically they didn’t want to keep me from saying anything. And if you’ve ever heard me speak… you know I can be a bit acerbic.  I REALLY was impressed by that and give them props for their stance. I DIG that in a company that makes MY TOOLS.

Anyway, I hope to “see you” all there next Monday. “Bring a friend!!”
