Final Cut Server: Imagining the Possibilities

Jason — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:30:35 +0000

For a slightly different perspective on Apple’s Final Cut Server software, check out this article I wrote for “Creative Solutions.”

Here is a taste:

“What is the real potential of the intersection of data processing and digital media? How can Final Cut Server lead to new ways of thinking about media production and consumption? What can we make with this tool that can help communicate and understand the world in deeper and more meaningful ways?”

Thanks!

I wanted to give a shout to all of the people who have given positive feedback on the book since it’s been out. It’s great to hear from you all!

To those who are looking for the web chapters – some will be up soon, but still a little longer for the Final Cut Server stuff. We don’t know any more than you do on that . . .

Is the Honeymoon Over?

The book has been officially available for almost a week, and i noticed that our sweet 34% discount on Amazon is over . . .

Of course, we have no control over this, but at 34% off, we could get the book cheaper from Amazon then the publisher will sell us extra copies direct.

Anyway, check Google products to find the best price:

With help from Shawn Rider, we have implemented some improvements to the Final Cut Pro Workflows site, created to support out book of the same name coming out next month.

I took this photo in Pennsylvania while Muffie and I were laying out the book.

Fin!

Sneaker Net 2007

Jason — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 03:48:54 +0000

In the book, we talk about the Sneaker Net concept quite a bit: using a FireWire drive to physically move media from system to system.

We make the point that “we still use this method all the time,” and even as Xsan shared storage becomes more common, the sneaker net still seems as popular as ever.

This week, I started new media archive drive for two clients, and we are preparing protable drives for each of my 48 undergraduates to use for their editing all semester.

At the same time, have been doing some training with Channel 2 in Baltimore who are switching (get this) from linear editing to an FCP Xsan environment.

So I guess my point is that the new does not eliminate the old in many cases, you just have more people doing their thing in different ways.

Covered!

Jason — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:22:49 +0000

Just created a new site to support the book:

www.finalcutproworkflows.com

Still a work in progress to be sure, but I expect to be adding to it soon.
