10 Common Audio Mistakes

What? You say you have the basics: a camcorder, tripod, maybe a light and a mic... but nothing else? If you've never accessorized your audio rig, now is the perfect time.

Avid Media Composer 5 Advanced Video Editing Software Review

A powerful editing program that is the industry leader, with a media management system that invites extensive collaboration. This is a professional program that savvy video editors should aspire to learn, but beginners to nonlinear editing will be seriously challenged.

Simple to Pick Up, Difficult to Master
One of the most dangerous things about shooting in 3D is that it's deceptively easy. After all, anybody can strap two video cameras side-by-side and shoot some test footage. Then load the output into a non-linear editor, slap a red filter over the left camera's output, and a cyan filter over the right camera's output, render and voilá!
