What is great about Blackmagic Design is its ability to build cameras for a specific market niche. Let’s look at the Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K G2. I had the opportunity to test this camera for a couple of weeks. One of my big questions was how the sensor performed and whether the color was similar or identical to the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera MFT cameras. As for the ability to remotely control the camera, I may not be the best one to take you down that path. I’m here for the image and it’s quality. I have written about Blackmagic since the original Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K, and I ..read more

Insider Tips: Move Clips Using Premiere Pro’s Keyboard Shortcuts
ProVideo Coalition
by Chris Salters

It’s a fact that the more editing you can do with the keyboard, rather than the mouse, the faster you’ll become.  So mastering moving clips around the timeline using only the keyboard is a must. Moving clips left and right with only the keyboard will also help you to make more frame-accurate edits. To move clips up or down tracks we only need to hold Opt/Alt and the up or down arrow keys. Note that this will overwrite any clips already on those tracks. This is also a good method to quickly add more video or audio tracks by simply tapping up or down for as many additional tracks as you wa ..read more

Apple’s latest hot gadget, the Apple Vision Pro, has been the subject of more video reviews than you could possibly imagine. MKBHD and Casey Neistat got in early, and many, many others have followed.
