05Jun Freenas PCI-e 4 port SATA upgrade to my Video storage solution
All of the work I’ve been doing lately has eaten up a lot of storage space. My 4 by 3TB drive freenas storage solution is down to less than 1TB of space and shirking fast. The motherboard I’m using for my Freenas installation only supports 4 SATA ports, so I started researching a PCI-e upgrade […]
14May Adobe Cloud 20% discount for one year
I know a lot of people aren’t very hot on the idea of Adobe’s new cloud program, but if you can get a big enough discount on the yearly service it can save you some money in the long run. Right now Newegg is offering 20% off Adobe Cloud subscriptions and the offer lasts until […]
13May Canon 5d mark III clean hdmi output testing with difference matte
Here’s the sample clip from yesterdays post. As I mentioned it’s hard to tell the difference between the footage from the Ninja 2 and the Canon 5d mark III. At first glance the footage doesn’t look much different. However the 200% zoom in side by side comparison I posted yesterday doesn’t quite tell the whole […]
01May Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless ETTL Flash Trigger
I posted about the Yongnuo YN-622c flash transceiver awhile back. It looked like a pretty good option, but I was already using a set of Pixel King E-TTL wireless triggers for flash work. Recently my Pixel King receiver took a nose dive off a light stand taking a second unit with it. The flashes survived but the cold shoe broke off both […]
23Apr Rocketfish Ultra thin HDMI cables
Stiff inflexible HDMI cables can be a pain when trying to route them through a rig. For that reason I use a lot of the Mediabridge Flex series cables. They aren’t as thick as a normal cables and they don’t put force on connectors. The price is also only slightly higher than normal HDMI cables. […]
19Apr CTRL+Console editing tool for Premiere Pro
While I was at NAB I caught up with Jeff Chow creator of CTRL+Console. This cool little app allows you to use your iPad or iPhone as an editing console interface for Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. It connects via wifi to your editing workstation and gives you quick access to the most commonly used features. […]
16Apr Atomos Samurai Blade is a great looking monitor
The original Atomos Ninja was one of the first reasonably priced portable HDMI video capture devices on the market. Some would also call it a field monitor, though the original 800×480 resolution screen left a bit to be desired. With the addition of the Samurai Blade to Atomos’s lineup you finally get a beautiful looking 1280×720 resolution […]
13Mar Aluminum SD card case
I have a lot of SDXC cards floating around in my camera bag. In the past I’ve made an effort to keep them all together in one pouch and in their own individual cases. This worked for awhile, but as the number of cards increased I started coming up a few cards short. Sometimes I’d […]
09Feb $99 Adobe CS6 training course
Honestly I haven’t taken an Adobe training course since CS4 came out a few years ago. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do, but just haven’t gotten around to it. Last time I took a course it was around $150 for After Effects and Premiere Pro. At the time that was a pretty good […]
25Jan Catleap 27 inch 2560×1440 IPS display – Road Test
I posted about Catleap IPS 2560×1440 display a few months back and I haven’t really posted much about it since. I don’t do a lot of monitor testing, so for me the best sign that a monitor is doing a good job can be summed up in the lack of complaints. After 5 months of […]
