Sometimes the good, old title with static text just doesn’t cut it. In this episode, we’ll make the text be another layer of video.

Ever on an editing system that you can’t install software on? And all they’ve got for image manipulation is MS Paint? Get stuff done with portable applications that run off your USB flash drive!
Examples include GIMP, an open-source Photoshop clone, and Songbird, an iTunes-like music player.
A quick word on some changes you may have noticed: Avid kindly asked me not to use their logo or any variation thereof, so I changed the logo of the screencast. It’s less colorful than before, but I simply could not think of another color but purple that would fit.
Over time, I’m planning on changing the old episodes as well, so it’ll appear as though the old logo had never existed. It’s like the Soviet Union!
In this episode, we’ll make a sequence of photos visually interesting by animating them into a slideshow of stacked photos that slowly fade away.
This episode features special appearances by my son Mika and René Hecht.
This is the third of several episodes covering a workflow for using Red Digital Cinema Cameras with your Avid editing application.
In this episode, we’ll conform a sequence that was offline edited in Avid to uncompressed HD for finishing in Media Composer or Symphony.
Look out for a special appearance by my son Jonah.
