Adobe Premiere vs Final Cut Pro X (Video)

I recently did a video comparing Adobe Premiere render speeds on three of the top laptops out right now: the new Macbook Pro 15″ with Touchbar, Surface Book w/ Performance Base, and a gaming laptop by the company Razer called the Razer Blade 2016. Again, this wasn’t meant to be a laptop comparison, but instead a way of showing how these top performing laptops all handled a task that I, personally, have to do every day. In that video it was pretty apparent that the Razer Blade – the laptop with the most powerful GPU – managed to get the

Lenovo Yoga 720: A 2-in-1 w/ 16GBs of RAM, 7th Gen i7, GTX 1050, & Thunderbolt Port

After my Razer Blade review, a slick laptop with a GTX 1060 built in, and the launch of Lenovo’s new Yoga 720 2-in-1, I think we can officially say we’re in a great time for gamers (and video editors, for that matter). The Yoga 720 has some serious specs. Intel Core i7 Kabylake processor NVIDIA GTX 1050M GPU 16GBs of RAM (Optional) 4K touchscreen (Optional) 1TB SSD (Optional) JBL Speakers Fingerprint Scanner (Optional) Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port, 2 USB 3.0 ports and a USB 3.1 port Right?

Best Editing Laptop? Macbook Pro vs Surface Book vs Razer Blade (Video)

When the new Macbook Pro was released, there was a lot of humming and hawing from the creative professional community. Essentially, everyone was a little disappointed in the power the new Macbook Pro was given. One of the more popular theories of Apple aiming for the mainstream instead of the niche of creatives that helped set them apart years before was given more fuel to burn. And, when you think about it, Apple’s most popular products of all time, the iPod and iPhone, were not aimed at professionals, but at the mass market of your average person. So why not

How to Install LUTs on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini

I recently did a post on how to update the Blackmagic Ursa Mini to the new Blackmagic Camera 4.0 update and one of the big reasons (besides the plethora of other ones) to update for me was to be able to preview LUTs in the camera finally (think of how a RED Camera can do this). After I installed the update, I immediately took two of my favorite LUTs and tried to figure out how to transfer them to the camera. Scouring the web came up with exactly zero solutions so after some guessing I got it to work. I

How to Update the Firmware on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini

While checking out the Blackmagic Design site recently, I noticed the screen grabs of the Ursa Mini 4K and Ursa Mini 4.6K had changed –drastically. Instead of what I saw on my own Ursa Mini 4.6K, they had shots showing LUTs being previewed on the camera, controls that were over the image instead of a separate menu, and just an entirely new UI, if we’re honest. A lot of my biggest contentions with the camera were being shown solved in their new promo images, what the hell? Turns out, Blackmagic Design had issued a huge update for the Ursa Mini and I

How VR Content Is Made Will Blow Your Mind (Video)

With all the videos on the web focused on VR talking mainly about headsets, games, and just generally how to consume VR content, no one is talking about what is just as fascinating in my opinion —how it’s made. So I set out on a mission to find out not only how VR content is made but how can it be made in the world of entertainment specifically and using live-action filming to tell stories in VR even more specifically. This, of course, led me to Jaunt. Jaunt VR Jaunt is arguably the company at the forefront of this new
