This week I went to Boston to attend WistiaFest, a video marketing conference created by a video hosting company I use all the time: Wistia.
Today’s video is a behind the scenes vlog of my trip to WistiaFest. I made it to share with you a bit about what the event is like if you’re looking for video conferences to attend.
Read MoreToday I unbox the Sony a7rii and both the 55mm f1.8 and 85mm G-Master f1.4 lenses. Let's see what these look like out of the box!
Read MoreDuring this video I talk about the shortcut keys in FCPX. I also open up the keyboard shortcut panel and show how you can browse it to learn shortcuts as well as create your own.
Read MoreI walk through the color workspace and how to do basic color correction. While high level grading is best done in secondary software, FCPX offers great basic tools and global adjustment.
Read MoreDuring this video I will demonstrate how to sync your file manually and by using tools within FCPX.
Read MoreOften times you will need to edit footage from multiple cameras and an external audio recorder. To do this, you will have to create a multicam sequence, which is easier said than done.
In this second free lesson of our full course, Learn Final Cut Pro X, I offer a tutorial in creating a multicam sequence.
I will walk you through all the steps of creating a multicam sequence, both inside Final Cut Pro X and in using the third party app Plural Eyes, so you can begin creating more complex videos.
Read MoreSometimes your footage isn't always perfect. However, if you know what you are doing in post production, you can use otherwise unusable shaky footage.
One of the better features of Final Cut Pro X is its ability to perform image stabilization to make your footage look less like a Jason Bourne movie.
In this, the first video in a five part series from inside of our new course, Learn Final Cut Pro X, I will show you how to use the stabilizer.
Read MoreOur new course on learning Final Cut Pro X is now live!
Read MoreI am excited to announce that we are launching our new course, Learn Final Cut Pro X, next Tuesday, May 31st! During the launch week we'll be releasing five free lessons from the course too, right here on the blog and on YouTube.
To gear up for the launch and show how FCPX shouldn't be intimidating, I will be hosting a live workshop on Friday, May 27th at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific. I will go over editing a quick video from start to finish inside Final Cut Pro X, talk workflow, share an overview of using the software, and answer any of your questions.
Read MoreThe XC10 was initially panned in early reviews when it first came out because people wanted interchangeable lenses, like other DSLR or Cinema cameras from Canon, to take full advantage of the 4K sensor. In this video review of the XC10 I share how it actually is a great camera for the right situation.
Read MoreSony has a bunch of options for mirrorless cameras these days. In this video I'm going to share 14 ways the a7S Mark II is different from the a7S Mark I.
Both are great cameras, but I think the increase in price from the Mark I to the Mark II is worth the upgrade for all the reasons mentioned.
Read MoreBoth the Sony a7S II and a7R II are great options for making videos in 4K, but which is better?
In this video I compare the pro's and con's of each camera and share which is best for different situations and production needs.
Read MoreCanon's new 80D is a great option for YouTubers, vloggers, and people getting into making videos.
Read MoreIn this video we talk about five different ways to grow your YouTube channel and get more subscribers.
Read MoreLast week I went to Las Vegas for the National Association of Broadcasters Conference. (Yeah, I know it sounds stuffy, but there are a lot of cool video companies and filmmakers that attend too.)
Somehow they manage to fill the entirety of all three halls in the convention center with gear and tech. SO MUCH VR.
My goal at NAB was to network with old friends, meet new ones, and share with you some new gear that you can use to make better videos.
Ultimately, we made seven videos at NAB and shot a review of the Canon 80D.
In this episode I share why I am putting this podcast on hold to focus on creating more video content for YouTube. I talk about doubling down, simplifying, following what is working, and how video is the best format for most of what I want to share & create.
Read MoreIn this video I'll cover what S-Log video settings I recommend filming in, my experience using Canon EF lenses with the Metabones adapter, how some of the biggest problems with filming on this camera can be overcome, and whether I'd recommend someone switching to Sony or mirrorless cameras for making videos.
Read MoreIn this video I chat with Atomos about the new HDR features of their monitors and recorders.
