So, over the last two days, I had two friends run into the same problem while editing DSLR footage in FCP. The problem was that even though the sequence settings matched up with the footage from the DSLR,the audio that was recorded separately was mysteriously drifting out of sync. This is a very frustrating problem that I personally lost quite a few hours over. I tried literally everything I could think of. I thought it was the recorder I...

Everything we cut in FCP gets some level of color grading using Magic Bullet Looks. Here’s a cool video to help you understand the software a bit better. Would anyone be interested in a more in-depth tutorial on grading with Magic Bullet Looks? I was thinking of doing one but wasn’t sure if it would be helpful. Also if you have any tricks or tips feel free to share them in the comment...

First off, our sincere apologies on the delay… We initially shot this in Orlando with our good friends Matt Buchman, Michael Buffa, and Ed Ballart but due to a few corrupt audio files we had to reshoot. So, we’ve received tons of questions about how to setup and use your Glidecam so we decided to put this together.

It’s quite evident by watching the films he produce that he has a complete understanding and appreciation for his craft. Every time...

I was shooting some video with my Canon 7D when what to my wondering eyes should appear? No it wasn’t a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. On the upper right hand side of the screen I spotted a red dot. The dreaded hot pixel !! Not surprising, that this happens occasionally, considering that there are 18 million pixels in the 7D. I of course panicked, as I will be on the road for the next 20 days and, have some very important...
