This is my first post on what I have learned being an editor since I started working professionally in 1994. I have been blessed to have absorbed so much by working next to clients all these years.

GIMP – The GNU Image Manipulation Program – FREE
Like photoshop only free! 🙂
As some of you may have figured out, I am a HUGE fan of free or open source software. Over the years I have seen some of my favorites grow by leaps and bounds. Gimp is one that I have played with before that seems to be getting better and better.
Michael Wohl talks ‘The Joy of FCPX’ at the Amsterdam SuperMeet
Here is a great video I found on FCP.co on the the “Joy of using FCPX”. What I like about this video is that we can really see the direction Final Cut is heading. With all the hoopla and debate on Final Cut, it is nice to see someone that is thinking ahead of the curve instead of overanalyzing the change Apple chose to do.
One thing I keep telling anyone that is willing to listen, is that every Non Linear Video Editor can pretty much do the same thing in similar ways, so it is nice to see a software that is rethinking the way we work.

I am a huge believer of remote collaboration. The way I see it removing the 1-2 hours a day of commuting to the office gives you the opportunity to add 20-40 hours to your project a month. In a year that is 240 – 480 hours of time wasted sitting in traffic.
Free Render Farm for all :)
I am very proud of how far Blender has gone. At this speed I can only imagine how much further they can go.
Now Blender will allow you to render on the global render farm to speed up your render process.
Blender 3D is a free 3D app to create animations, compositing, games and modeling. It is an amazing tool! And it is FREE! 🙂
