Mavericks OS 10.9 Killed My ExpressCard Slot On My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro
I didn’t see this coming. I did my homework and found no real issues to stop me from updating my mid 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS 10.9. I just bought a new 15″ retina display and all the programs I use work fine with Mavericks so I decided to give it go with my […]
Create New Media Card With Selected Clips Using Adobe Prelude
If you ever shot several projects on a single media card or just want to split up the clips into diffrent cards this is a fast and easy thing to do with Adobe Prelude. The picture above pretty much shows you the steps and it’s super easy. I do this all the time to better […]
Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor Packs A Punch In A Small Box
I recently bought a new Apple MacBook Pro Retina 15″ with Thunderbolt 2. I needed a better laptop for editing with Premiere Pro. Since my mid 2010 did not have a CUDA enabled GPU I wasn’t getting the performance I wanted. Another reason to upgrade is for the new and really fast USB 3 and […]
LaCie eSATA Hub. The Thunderbolt Bridge For eSATA Drives
I recently bought a mighty sweet 15″ 2013 Retina MacBook Pro. It came preloaded with Mavericks and for the most part I like it a lot! Mavericks is a little different and gave me some issues installing CUDA drivers. Apple hasn’t certified a lot of drivers yet so Mavericks didn’t want to install updates I […]
Clean Up Your Premiere Pro Project
I have a few projects that require updates on a weekly or biweekly basis. These are news promos to show what we covered over the week. The editorial process is to get a bunch of clips and find what works best. This can build up a pretty big project over time with unused footage and […]
A Simple Idea, But Not So Simple To Pull Off.
This spot looks simple but was far from it. It was a real challenge. We spent three full days driving all over San Diego county to locations we didn’t even know for sure would work. Most did some not as well, others really well. It was pretty much flying of the seat of our pants […]
FxFactory Transitions Now Work with Premiere Pro CC 7.1 Update
This is great news if you bought the FxFactory effects bundle. I have used them for years with Final Cut Pro 7. I edit a lot of news promos and I need to spice these :15 spots up. I depend on easy to use transitions, and last year when I moved to Adobe Premiere Pro […]
Filmimpact.Net Transitions. True Drag And Drop For Premiere Pro CC & CS6
In this promo I used Filmimpact.net Volume 2 transitions. So easy and gives the promo a little more energy. I moved to Premiere Pro CS6 from Final Cut Pro 7 a year ago. In the transition to Adobe I also found transition effects that I loved so dearly in FCP7 from FXfactory didn’t work as well. […]
Investigates. Canon C300 Log Gamma, Sigma 18-35 & A GH3
This spot was fun to work on. The producer had a vision and we talked about the best way to make it happen. The goal was simple. Create a spot for our fairly new investigative unit. I wanted to stay away from the news promo look of using news footage in the spot. I didn’t […]
Just Grab The GoPro For A Couple of Shots.
Black Boxes News Promo shot With GoPro from Erik Naso on Vimeo. A blog about using a GoPro? Sure! Why? Because it was the easiest and coolest shoot I had in a few weeks! I didn’t really have any footage to use for this spot. I needed to turn it around in a day and […]
