On-Site Post at Red Bull Ultra Natural

Video: 2 min recap of Ultra Natural 2013. Check out the full episode here In February, I was in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada, coordinating the post production for Red Bull’s Ultra Natural event.

Pre-WWDC 2013 Mac Pro Rumor Roundup

There’s been surprisingly few detailed rumors about a new Mac Pro compared to Apple’s other products. Over the past few years there’s been speculation about a Mac Mini Pro or xMac, which is basically a beefy Mac Mini with a user-replaceable GPU and not much else. I would post a link, but there’s as many descriptions […]

Adobe Creative Cloud Pros and Cons

Adobe Creative Cloud Pros and Cons

A lot has been made recently of Adobe’s announcement that all their software will be switching to Creative Cloud subscriptions, abandoning the software-in-a-box model. Even Hitler has weighed in. I’ve been using Creative Cloud personally for over 6 months, and most of my clients have made the switch, so I thought I would throw my […]

Ads in Paid Content, an Unfortunate Trend

I recently purchased an iTunes season pass for Archer, one of the funniest shows currently on TV, and one of the only shows I’ll buy season passes for. I get most of my content from Netflix and Hulu, and I have no problem waiting a few months for some shows to become available. But I […]

News: 4K in the Home, Core Rot at Apple?, Another iMac Review

4K in the Home (ProLost) As usual, Stu hits it on the head. 4k in the home is pointless. But he does bring up projection, where higher resolutions that 1080 could make a difference. But of course, the content currently isn’t there. It reminds me, back in the SD days, when TVs and projectors weren’t actually 480 […]

Five Best Living Room Speaker Sets (Life Hacker) Life Hacker asked their readers for the best living room speakers. They admit that they couldn’t have asked a more wide ranging question, but the 5 selected are an interesting bunch. As a post guy, I’ve gotten really used to having studio monitors as my main sound […]

Apple Quality but Not the Premium? $400 Gets You the Same 27-Inch Panel Used in Their Displays (No Film School) There’s actually fewer LCD panel manufacturers than there are brands. LG makes all of Apple’s displays, along with Dell, NEC, etc. My preferred panels are Dell Ultrasharps as they use high-end LG panels and have […]

nVidia GPU Buyers – Don’t Toss Your OLD Graphics Cards!

Posted by Eric Hansen - December 17, 2012 - Apple, SANs and Post Production

I’ve installed or recommended nVidia GPU cards for clients and friends for quite awhile now. Personally, I’m rocking a GTX570 in my Mac Pro for Premiere Pro and Resolve. I also have a GT120 installed as the second card for when I use Resolve. Most of the time my monitors are connected to the GTX570. […]

Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X 10.7.5 and nVidia GT120 Aren’t Playing Nice

Posted by Eric Hansen - December 7, 2012 - Apple, SANs and Post Production, Tutorials

I’ve noticed this now on enough systems to call this a bug, and since it involves 2 out of date pieces of software and one out of date graphics card, it’s unlikely that Apple will address it. Problem: Skipping playback in the Canvas and/or Viewer windows in Final Cut Pro 7 on Mac Pros with […]
