Just an interim post with some great resources Ive stumbled across lately.

Firstly, a fellow blogger from the UK, Mike Thornton, who is writing on topics relating to Pro tools and the Media industries. You may recognise his name, as Mike is a regularly contributor to Sound on Sound.

Secondly, for those with more of a music focus, the lads from the AIR group are running their own blog specific to those virtual instruments and software tools such as Structure

Avid have recently launched their own version of the mighty Digi User Conference, the Avid Community portal. Its great, with tutorial videos, news and a bunch of good people already involved:

For more Media composer tricks than you can point a stick at, I recommend the Edit Blog

Lastly, Michael Phillips of Avid has had his own site, 24p, up for a long time:

Hope these are of use! More on Structure coming soon, its been a busy week and Im off to LA on Sunday.

Today’s video is a very short and sweet demo of a feature that alot of folks don’t know exists.

Ever been in a situation where you want a DV25 res video, or a Motion JPEG movie but the client delivers… wait for it….H.264 Your very favourite system crunching codec.
Well, the power is well within your hands to quickly re-render that video into the resolution/codec of your choice. It’s all about a shortcut when choosing “Bounce to Quicktime movie” as shown in the video (hold ctrl+opt+cmd)

Hope that helps!
