External Drive Cables
While on the subject of external disk drives (see the previous post on LaCie power supply issues), problems with data corruption are also often caused by drive cables. There’s a few ways to cure them. The most obvious problem is a bad cable. The free cables that come bundled with drives are often chosen because […]
LaCie Power Supply Tips
We own several of the LaCie Big Disk Extreme external hard drives (view on Amazon), which is part of their “d2” line. They provide RAID 0 speed in a very quiet enclosure, which is important to us. We use the FireWire 800 interface, which we find to be faster than internal SATA in many cases. […]
After Effects 8.0.2 and gamma issues
Adobe has released an 8.0.2 update for After Effects CS3. Its headline new features are support for Mac OS 10.5, as well as for P2 media. There are also the expected array of bug fixes.

10 Tips for Videopreneurs
It seems appropriate to begin my tenure at a startup with a little advice to others embarking on a startup. Employment in the video industry has always been a little more fluid than in the economy at large. Many of us have been freelancers, solopreneurs, permalancers, or whatever you like to call it for so […]
Adobe Hacker Effects
The After Effects development team is surprisingly small, especially given how much innovation has gone into each revision in the app’s 15 year lifespan (as of this past month – Happy Birthday, After Effects!). Like a Hollywood feature executive they can only greenlight a handful of great ideas each year. That’s what makes a tool […]

AppleTV Take 2: New Software, Same Hardware
I very carefully and duly noted when Steve Jobs, during an interview, said that Apple had 3 businesses (Macs, iPods/iTunes, and iPhones) and a hobby (AppleTV). If that wasn’t a tacit, explicit admission that a product hadn’t done as well as they’d hoped, I don’t know what is. To launch a product and then call […]
