Hello everyone...I have a social media question. It has been a few years and FB and Twitter have ruled the roost as far as social media goes in our industry. But what are your opinions as far as Instagram being a viable social media avenue?? Do any of your stations use it? Use it effectively? I...

Anybody have any examples in stories/investigations of cool EDIUS transitions they use or have built? Would love to see any. Thanks.

Hey guys...any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to step up my transition effects in Avid and I am trying to copy some transition effects I see our promotions and other investigative units do with FCP. They appear to be like scrape/blur/glow wipes of some of some kind. Does...

So....I'm putting up one of mine on here. Why? Because I really liked this one. A good script and some artistic freedom lead to this. I try and incorporate a lot of what I preach into my investigations when I can and this one lended itself to do that. Please let me know your thoughts...

Hey guys...looking for some stations that do some good investigative reporting/editing/photography. I have some that I always check out but perhaps there's some new ones out there that I can learn some stuff from and get ideas. Thanks a lot.

I finally got to do a GA story...this is a story we did after a heavy rainstorm. Check it out and let me know what you think. I wrote it as well...quick, short, but hopefully effective tracks. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtncX3TaHkM

Ravers have high hopes for day two of this weekend rave. I worked a weekend shift and turned a deadline story that turned out not too bad. There were video restrictions but we worked around them. I had a great reporter...good gameplan...wish I could have put a little bit a better ending but...

As some of you may know, I am very active in the Critiques section of b-roll.net. I see many good stories and unfortunately I've seen some not so good ones. One area of particular that I see photogs struggle with is in the NatPkg. I think to attempt one is an admirable quality...but I also think...

Hey guys...are any b-rollers going to be in Albuquerque for the NCAA basketball tournament? I will be traveling with UNLV so I'll be there as long as they are. It might be fun to chat/meet face to face...share some stories and laugh. I am assuming we'll all be in the media room anyways so it...

I am looking at an easy explainer about frame rates and how they apply to the recording format one would choose and how to best understand the whole under/over cranking thing. I will be working on a project in the future with a martial artist and I'll want to capture the best looking footage I...

Did some internet research and found some stuff...seems like a nice program but was wondering if anyone has personally used it and could relate their experiences, good or bad. Possibly even a link to a story you've used it in so I can see some visual examples. Might want to convince my station...

I shot a 2-person intv a few weeks back but the person wearing my hardline lav mic has a little hiss (from the air) in it. More than normal for some reason. I am using Edius 4 and was wondering if anyone has used the audio filters to help with this problem. Any advice/suggestions are greatly...

Hey guys do you have any trouble with name brand dvds you buy for burning stories/video projects/etc to dvd? Which do you prefer -R/+R? Is there any way to lessen the frequency of messed up dvds when burning dvds? Just trying to troubleshoot for learning purposes as much as possible. Thanks for...

In light of this issue that comes up from time to time and more recently with the firing of the LVMPD officer for beating a citizen videotaping an officer I present to you all a music video by a underground rapper by the name of Sage Francis who put together this song. Please, watch, enjoy...

I need a 1 min video file to be 100MB...if I export it through the encoder as a .mpeg file it has a size of 140MB...any help to get it to my target size is greatly appreciated. Using Edius 4 editing system. Thanks.
