An update to make my heart flutter

Geez, CS5 has only been out a few weeks and already there is an update for Premiere the increases the number of realtim channels of effects you can get with a NVIDA GTX 285. Go get it here, http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4720

Adobe Connect Session - Editing AVCHD and DSLR formats in CS5

Here is the link to the Hi Def record of the Connect Session where I go through in detail (about an hour) how Premiere Pro CS5 handles tapeless formats recorded in AVCHD such as from the Canon 5D mkII and the 7D as well as how the Mercury Playback Engine allows realtime playback of this footage as well as how it handles realtime effects in full HD with hardware acceleration.

Adobe Connect Session - This Friday at 12:00 (Aus time)

So I have my first Adobe Connect eSeminar for the year this Friday.

We are going to covering editing AVCHD footage within Adobe Premiere CS5

Using native AVCHD footage has never been smoother or easier with Premier Pro and the Mercury Playback engine.

We will look at native editing of all forms of AVCHD including the much talked about native playback of DSLR footage from the Canon 5DmkII and 7D (might throw in a little Nikon D300s footage as well, even though it isnt AVCHD)

As always, the sessions are free, you just need to register at

Hope to see you there.

Can you hear it?.......CS5 is coming

It has been really hard to stay quiet on this one until we have been given official approval. Which we have. So without further delay I bring you CS5. What can I say about it? Absolutely nothing except for its on its way ;)

Click on the link to register for the launch event on April 12 when you will be able to see what all the fuss is about, and then head on back here where I will have a whole bunch of sneak peeks of the software in action.

I can honestly say, of all the releases of CS I have been involved with, this is by far the most exciting, especially for those of us who are diving into the deep water that is DSLR film making!

The term 'game changer' is thrown around a lot these days. I have used it to describe the Canon and Nikons DSLRs and the RED, but never for software as far as DSLR's are concerned. Well this is well and truly a GAME CHANGER.

So until April 12, have a good one and start preparing to say a fond farewell to your current NLE :)
