Sometimes 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.

Our new course on learning Final Cut Pro X is now live!

I 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. 

The 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.

Sony 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.

Both 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.

Canon's new 80D is a great option for YouTubers, vloggers, and people getting into making videos. 

In this video we talk about five different ways to grow your YouTube channel and get more subscribers.

Last 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.

In 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.

In this video I chat with Atomos about the new HDR features of their monitors and recorders. 

While at NAB 2016, I stopped by the Zacuto booth to check out their new electronic viewfinder, the Gratical Eye EVF, as well as their collapsible Marauder DSLR rig.

Veydra builds mini cinema lenses lenses compatible with E-mount, C-Mount, and micro 4/3 mount cameras. Veydra delivers a great look and feel at a fraction of the cost of a cinema lenses from Zeiss or others.  

In this episode I share what some of my favorite podcasts for filmmakers, YouTubers, and freelancers are.

What's the difference between the Canon G7X Mark II and the previous Mark I version? In this video I breakdown the new features.

I caught up with Devin at NAB 2016 where he showed me the new Devin Graham Signature Series Glidecam, how he sets his up, and how he uses it to collect all his best shots. 

As we head to Las Vegas for NAB 2016 I thought I would share with you what gear we are bringing to cover the event.
