"Is that all from NAB?"

Yes.

Now you'll have to wait for DV Expo for "those" new cam announcements. :-))

Be grateful. Now you can buy a new video camera and be garuanteed that it will be cutting edge for at least another 2 months. :)

Or you can just wait until NAB :-p

Micheal, that one got me good! :)

But notice he didn't mention the year ...

Century Optics sale
 

I've been away so forgive me is this was already posted.

Century Optics is having a moving sale. Many of their filters are substantially discounted. Alas, none of the ones I use but many of the pro-mist type filters are.

To find the sale items go to www.centuryoptics.com then click on the banner that says they have moved to a new location. Click on either the .pdf or the online store. The filters are then listed by filter size.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for that tip, Jeff!

For all cool stuff: "wait until IBC". Yes, it IS in Amsterdam... <g>

Wait until you have enough cash, then buy what is available, shoot and have fun!

I agree with the idea of just buying whatever is awailable now and have fun with it. Better camera doesnt make you a better cinematographer. From my little experience I found 2 most challenging things (good story, actors).

there goes this weeks paycheck...

VASST Tour update
 

Hey Gang,
We keep getting lots of emails about the VASST tours, wanted to post updates to maybe save our office manager from replying to so many:
Gary Kleiner and I will be the instructors on this tour, tag-teaming various functions and segments through the day.
With Gary on the tour, we'll be giving away a copy of Excalibur and Neon at each city, plus everyone gets some fun goodies in their attendee bags from Gary.
We'll also have great products from Artbeats, Sony, VASST, and other fun things in the attendee bags. We'll have giveaways from Sony, ADS, Artbeats, VASST, and other manufacturers.
There is a FREE Sony event the night before each full day training event in each city, where we'll be showcasing Vegas, ACID, Sound Forge, and Noise Reduction, you can register for this FREE event on the VASST website, http://www.vasst.com/registration
I think I speak for Gary as well in saying we're looking forward to getting out there and meeting you all, spending time in your city, and getting to know some of you directly.
See you on the tour!!

X-Factor speeds both rendering and preview processing. Unlike other distributed rendering methods that use multiple computers only for the final rendering of frames at the end of a project, X-Factor also speeds up the rendering of previews while you are working. Because previewing is performed many times during the creative process while final rendering occurs only once, X-Factor allows you to achieve productivity gains that are not possible with other distributed rendering methods.
X-Factor typically exhibits linear performance improvement when used with After Effects. That means preview processing and rendering will take place twice as fast on two machines, three times as fast on three machines, and so on.
no hardware (matrox digisuite or targa cinewave) out there can't beat that. in term of scalability

It doesn't have anything to do with editing does it? It helps After Effects rendering and previews.

(It doesn't have anything to do with editing) for now,but in the futur
it would be great if we can adapt this technology for video editing.
hdtv it in the way with its large data to procese, grid comtuting its not expensive solution.
