12Jul Linco Flora 4500W 3 piece lighting kit sale and some thoughts on CFL lighting
Linco actually sells good lighting kits, but the pricing on a normal starter kit like the one above usually comes in at around $900 for a 2 light kit and goes up from there. But right now they are offering their Flora lighting kits for a little bit better than half price ($427 buy it now with free […]
09Jul Adobe CC official OpenCL support update
Finally there is some more information on what effects are supported when using OpenCL in latest version Adobe CC. Apparently the list is pretty comprehensive so instead of going over what effects are supported, lets take a look at the effects that aren’t supported when compared to an Nvidia’s Cuda cards. According to adobe here […]
08Jul New Video Editing PC build
I’ve been pushing my old Inlet i7-920 rig for a little longer then I probably should have and I’ve reached the limit on just about everything. The board has been maxed out in the RAM department since day one (24GB) and I’ve had to add a PCI-E card for USB 3.0 support. Don’t get me wrong […]

12Jun Canon EOS-M $369
Even though the Canon EOS-M isn’t exactly the best camera for photography, it’s a decent camera for video. With the reduced flange distance you can easily adapt old Canon FD lenses as well as a number of other options. For video you’re basically working with a skinny t4i. If you are looking for a first […]
11Jun Adobe Premiere Pro CC OpenCL speed tests
I’ve been searching for some Premiere Pro OpenCL speed tests and I finally found a few results. Keep in mind that these numbers come directly from AMD’s blog and only compare high price Quadro cards with AMD’s FirePro lineup. I’m sure statements about competitors products aren’t at all skewed or mis represented by data sets. Usually claims […]
07Jun Seagate 4TB External drive $160
As things move closer and closer to raw video workflows, hard drive space is a must. Right now Amazon has the Seagate 4TB external Drive on sale for $159.99 with free prime shipping. That’s $20 cheaper than the internal model and with a USB 3.0 connection you’ll still have fast enough drive speeds for editing. […]
07Jun Canon 6d New for $1,499.95
At a price of $1499.95 new on ebay with free shipping, the Canon 6d is a hell of a bargain. That price puts a new 6d at about the same spot as a used 5d mark II body. But unlike the 5dmkII you get a better auto focus system, wifi features, and better low light […]
06Jun Komputerbay 128GB & 64GB CF card speed tests
Before I disappeared, I had promised some speed tests with the somewhat infamous KomputerBay CF cards. These cards are priced better than pretty much any other CF card on the market making them a very attractive choice for those that need a lot of capacity. I decided to try out a few different sizes and […]
