02Oct Gigabit speeds via wireless AC with ASUS AC68 adapter

I’ve been very happy with my Freenas build. Theres plenty of storage in a small form factor and it’s very reasonably priced. The only problem is that since i’ve moved I haven’t had access to a hardwired connection. I’ve upgraded my wireless router to something that supports 802.11ac, however the first PCI-e card I picked up […]

06Aug Fixing corrupted audio files with VLC

If you work with a lot of audio files, especially longer recordings, sometimes you run into an error like this one from Adobe Audition. The error is usually caused when a field recorder fails to close an audio file properly or when a field recorder looses power during a long recording. Without going too deep […]

25Jul ASUS RT-AC66U Gigabit wireless router & wireless 802.11AC

If you’ve been wondering why my posts have been somewhat sparse this month it’s because I’ve been moving and doing a lot of filming. One of the bad things about moving (besides packing and unpacking) is that your network setup completely changes. The layout of my old place allowed me to run dedicated cables to […]

22Jul Seiki 4k monitor price drop and new 39 inch 4k model under $1,000

I mentioned awhile back the Seiki 50 inch 4k monitor. It was the first affordable 4k monitor i’d come across on the market at it’s original price of $1499. It looks like the 50 inch model is now available on Amazon for just $1100. This brings the price into the range of your average 55 […]

09Jul Adobe CC official OpenCL support update

Finally there is some more information on what effects are supported when using OpenCL in latest version Adobe CC. Apparently the list is pretty comprehensive so instead of going over what effects are supported, lets take a look at the effects that aren’t supported when compared to an Nvidia’s Cuda cards.  According to adobe here […]

08Jul New Video Editing PC build

I’ve been pushing my old Inlet i7-920 rig for a little longer then I probably should have and I’ve reached the limit on just about everything. The board has been maxed out in the RAM department since day one (24GB) and I’ve had to add a PCI-E card for USB 3.0 support. Don’t get me wrong […]

Full disclaimer: I’m a paying member of Adobe Creative Cloud and don’t condone or support piracy even if the software is over priced. I take no responsibility for your use of illegally obtained use of Adobe CC products. One of the big reasons Adobe made the move to a subscription based service is to reduce piracy.

11Jun Adobe Premiere Pro CC OpenCL speed tests

I’ve been searching for some Premiere Pro OpenCL speed tests and I finally found a few results. Keep in mind that these numbers come directly from AMD’s blog and only compare high price Quadro cards with AMD’s FirePro lineup. I’m sure statements about competitors products aren’t at all skewed or mis represented by data sets. Usually claims […]

10Jun Adobe Premiere pro Creative cloud now Supports OpenCL

The last few versions of Premiere pro have supported GPU acceleration which can dramatically improve rendering times as well as real time playback. Up until now that support was limited to Nvidia cards like the GTX 680 or the GTX 670 (the card I currently use). It seems Adobe is attempting to entice more users to […]

07Jun Seagate 4TB External drive $160

As things move closer and closer to raw video workflows, hard drive space is a must. Right now Amazon has the Seagate 4TB external Drive on sale for $159.99 with free prime shipping. That’s $20 cheaper than the internal model and with a USB 3.0 connection you’ll still have fast enough drive speeds for editing. […]
