Aperture 3 at Indy FCPUG Meeting

DateTuesday, February 23, 2010 at 6:52PM

This Thursday, February 25th, at my Final Cut Pro users group meeting, I will be demoing Aperture 3, Apple's latest revision to it's professional photo management and editing software. Why am I showing a photography application at a video users group, you ask? One of the killer new features, and there are many, is that it now supports video and audio clips. Aperture can import, manage, and even edit (as in trim edit, not change-the-look-of-the-image edit) any Quicktime compatible video format. I think this has the potential to be a great video library application, making it easier to catalog, keyword, and find your video when you need it. That is the functionality I will be focusing on at our meeting Thursday night. If you're in the area and are interested, please stop by and join the fun!

In the coming week, I will write a detailed article describing those features here, so if you're interested be sure to check back next week.

If you're more interested in the photo capabilities of Aperture 3, I will be speaking at an upcoming Killbuck Photo Guild meeting (not sure when yet) and showing off all of Aperture's new tricks.

A Little Quiet Around Here

DateThursday, September 10, 2009 at 10:31PM

Yep, I haven't been very active here on my blog the last month, but it definitely is not due to nothing going on. It's been a pretty busy past month. Here's a quick run-down:

- I attended the Chicago Bears training camp with my brothers Patrick and Zach

- My daughter's first day of fifth grade (she can't be that old already, can she?!)

- Apple released Final Cut Studio 3. I had to get up to speed on the new release rather quickly in order to show what had changed at my Final Cut Pro User Group meeting on August 25th

- I had 3 video shoots (which resulted in 3 DVDs and 2 web videos) and a photography session (where 30 people went home with a 8" x 10" group photo a few hours later)

- Did some testing on a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera for it's video functionality

- Trips to two different doctors on the same day for three different things

- Presented Final Cut Studio 3 (well, half of it anyways) at the Indiana Filmmakers Network meeting

- Worked on a logo design for a local company

- Made at least 30 trips to Indy for a variety of reasons

- Updated my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard

- Put up with my PowerMac G5 crashing randomly and often

- Finally diagnosed the PowerMac G5 problem as faulty RAM (replacements on the way)

- Bought 5 pairs of shoes from Zappos.com (and sent 4 pairs back... but I'll probably never buy shoes from a local store again because Zappos makes it so easy)

- and somewhere in there I turned 38.

Whew! And it doesn't slow down. I've got a couple web sites to update, a couple to design, a logo to finish, some product photography to shoot, and a couple personal projects I hope to push along if not finish the next few weeks.

I'll have several slower-than-real-time posts coming up journal-style in about two weeks time, and a lot of photos to go with them. Stay tuned...
