Review of Sony FS700 part1 live! | Philip Bloom | Blog
Philip posts the first part of his video review of the Sony NEX-FS700:
The review is broken up into two parts. This one focuses on initial impressions and the super slow motion function.
Part two is coming shortly in the next couple of days and focuses on the pros and cons of the camera. It's advantages and limitations, an examination of the image and it's low light performance..


Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 | Antony Bolante | MacWorld
Another review of Premiere Pro CS6:
With the introduction of Prelude and SpeedGrade—not to mention the advent of the Creative Cloud—it’s tempting to define Premiere Pro CS6 in terms of a larger video workflow. [...] CS6 extends the performance gains of CS5 to a wider range of users, particularly mobile editors with the proper laptop configuration. But what makes CS6 a worthy upgrade is its focus on enhancing its raison d’ĂȘtre: more fluent video editing.


After Effects CS6 (11.0.1) update: bug fixes and added GPU and 3D renderer support | Todd Kopriva | Adobe
Update to After Effects released:
We have also been working with several providers of plug-ins, codecs, and hardware devices to assist them in updating their software to fix some errors and crashes. Please take this opportunity to download and install updated codecs, plug-ins, and drivers from these providers, as relevant to your work. For more information about plug-ins for After Effects CS6, see this page.


Ray Tracing in After Effects CS6 | Stu Maschwitz | Prolost
Stu likes the Ray Tracing updates in After Effects:
The ray-traced 3D renderer is the first major update to AE’s 3D capabilities since they were first introduced in 2001–2002. AE was way ahead of most of its competition (except flame, of course) in bringing 3D capabilities to a compositing environment. At the time, adding 3D layers to a dedicated compositor was a somewhat controversial move. But now it’s hard to imagine compositing without a 3D environment, and After Effects has been lapped several times by its competition in 3D features. So I’m happy to see true 3D geometry finally spinning in my AE viewport.


Shocking development from ADOBE with CS6 | Philip Johnston | HD Warrior
Philip continues to struggle with the CS6 update:
When you load up Encore CS6 from the dock you do not have any buttons or templates rendering the program useless, this is shocking from such a so called professional company hard on the heals of Apple’s FCPX.


updates for Adobe Media Encoder, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Prelude, and SpeedGrade | Todd Kopriva | Adobe
Other software updates in the CS6 suite:
The best way to check for updates is by closing all Adobe applications other than Adobe Bridge, and choosing Help > Updates in Adobe Bridge; this ensures that all processes related to Adobe video applications have been quit and can be updated safely.
