Skitch
Skitch is a brand new app for uploading of pictures. “Heh, I need an app for that??”, you might say. Yes, you do. Because Skitch do it in ways you wouldn’t believe. It looks amazing, behaves like it has a Nobel Prize-brain, and the icon is sweet. Check out the 3 minutes entry video which [...]
Final Cut Pro wipes
I have used Final Cut Pro since version 1.0 in 1999. During these 8 years I have used wipes two or three times. Wipes are ugly. Heh. But today a friend of mine called and asked: What do I buy if I want the most crazy wipes out there for Final Cut Pro? Fair enough. [...]
Final Cut Studio 2

Just when you thought HD was the next big thing, then comes 3D HD
3D HD is THE next big thing. And it comes to sports and music first. NBA (the National Basketball Association in USA), plans to shoot some of their games in 3D HD. In a session called “Winning Ways to Wow the Sports Broadcast Viewer” (must be an advertising guy who cme up with that title…), [...]

Aperture to Final Cut Pro
I love it when someone solves a problem, just before I need it solved! This happened yesterday. Eirik and I have been looking for the ultimate photo archive solution. I have been using iPhoto since getting my first digital camera some years ago. iPhoto is a great product but has been missing some more advanced [...]
Final Print
Final Print is a standalone application which prints a list of markers from a Final Cut Pro sequence. This provides a very useful workflow enhancement when handing off a project to someone else for further work. Excellent little application from Digital Heaven. I also recommend their Final cut Pro plugins, of which I own DH_SubTitle. [...]
Multi-touch
Update: There’s a newer video at “Multitouch will revolutionize your computer”. This is certainly something we’ll see in one form or another in Mac OS X pretty soon. — Apple let the iPhone out of the box today… and wow! It’s a revolution, especially on the UI side. So now we know where the multi-touch [...]
