With Media Composer 5, you can access Quicktime and R3D files natively using AMA (provided you have the horsepower).

In this episode, I’ll show you how to link to AMA volumes, change the R3D source settings (such as ISO, color temperature etc.) within Media Composer, adjust the formatting and then transcode to DNxHD.

Editorial note: I apologize for the bad audio quality in this and last week’s podcast. Snow Leopard seems to reset my audio input gain now and again, but this way you finally know what quantization noise sounds like! Seriously, it’ll get better next week.

There are a lot of different tutorials covering similar subjects, so check out the show notes for more.

I was asked if it was possible to get the Glow Effect without Boris Continuum Complete. Had I been a smart-ass, I would have replied: “Sure, buy Sapphire!”

But I’m trying not to be, so I came up with something that looks kinda similar, and I called it Film Flash, because “Glow Part 2″ seemed lame.

In this tutorial, I’ll use a Blur and the Color Effect to create that Film Flash.
