Kicking-Off some CS4 Workflow in the UK
Hello, friends! Well, it's been a bit too long since my last post, but things have been cooking, and all I can say is...machine rebuilds take too much time! LOL. In the last few weeks (since finishing the Chip Hanna video), I've built and re-built about 4 different systems, including transferring several Terrabytes of data back and forth, cleaning up literally dozens of projects, and prepping for another series of Adobe TV (which will likely feature the CH content, and a complete breakdown of the multicam edit process).
In any case, I've now arrived in the UK, where my fellow colleague Michael O'Neill and I will visit with several Design/Film Universities, going over the entire Cross-Media and Production Workflow, including heavy emphasis on our Avid and FCP Integration (which is now in full-force, thanks to the recent Premiere Pro 4.1 update).

In any case, we've also got a few visits with some of our broadcast partners, and on Thursday evening I'll be presenting at the Final Cut Supermeet at the Kensington Conference Centre in London. This is the first-annual FCPUG meet in London, so it should be extra-special for all who attend. Please be sure to stop by our table (where Mikey and I will have laptops setup for demo purposes) and say hello.
For now, I'm off to do a few Connect presentations, and then we'll continue the process of re-building Michael's MBP (seems to be a theme this month!). And by the way, there are several new episodes of Short & Suite up on Adobe TV. Here's one on Normalization/Volume Matching and level techniques in Soundbooth CS4.
Until next time,
Blog on.

Okay, that's spooky. I'd been needing this EXACT information for the tutorial movies about GridIron FLOW. (I, unlike you, can't do 10 minutes straight in a single take. :P)
I like your van, btw.

Hey Jason, long time no hear from. Since you're in the UK, care to give me a ring or at least a quick email? Number hasn't changed...

just downloaded Au 3 30 day trial....wow wow WOW, flawless install and integration, fast, intuitive and powerful! I absolutely LOVE the updates! I gotta believe Audio professionals would download for some of the 'healing' of audio capabilities alone.

Hey Steve! Wow, it has indeed been a long time. Sorry I missed you (and that I didn't see this comment until a few days ago). As mentioned in my last post, all my comments had entered the 'junk' domain. Argh. In any case, glad to hear from you and will definitely give you a ping. How's Cath and the boys? Best...--JL?
