I remember heading to dinner 6 or 7 years ago with Randy Ubillos, creator of Final Cut Pro, telling him my vision for a future FCP update- incorporating some pre-production elements like storyboarding, in which the user would link captured clips to a storyboard frame, then FCP would rough cut the project together automatically, with multiple takes being multiclips so they could be easily compared.
Now, it’s possible Apple is patenting some storyboarding processes to incorporate into FCP?

The Canon VIXIA HV40 HDV Camcorder, a replacement to the highly acclaimed VIXIA HV30 camcorder, shares the core components found within the VIXIA line, but also offers a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens and 2.96 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor. What’s more, the camcorder allows consumers to record in native 24p Mode, a feature previously found only on Canon’s professional camcorders. Native 24p allows consumer to capture and record 24 progressive frames per second to a HDV tape, a big advantage for the serious filmmaker. Another add-on feature, Custom Key Mode, enables …

Today, Apple released an update to the iPhone software that includes built-in podcast episode downloading. Why should you care?
Here’s why:
In the past, you could only watch (or listen to) podcasts on an iPhone by subscribing and downloading on your computer with iTunes, then syncing the episodes with your iPhone. While I’m sure a lot people went through the hassle, I’m pretty sure the vast majority did not.
A software programmer made a nice app called “Podcaster” that I’ve owned for several months that did built-in, on-the-fly episode downloading, but …
Ten years ago I sat down with a VP of Cisco Systems and told him the future was video on the internet. At the time, he thought video would always be a minor, though growing element. He said “people don’t want to watch video on their PCs, they want to watch video on their TVs.”
I disagreed, and told him that in a few years it would be the #1 highest traffic driver on the net, and the #1 reason for people to upgrade their (Cisco) routing systems.
As I predicted, internet traffic is skyrocketing, propelled by video. 
“The majority of the …

In this movie, do-it-yourself handyman Eric Schultheis shows a method of making a professional quality backdrop for video or photography very inexpensively, and tips for mounting it in a basement or garage.
Josh’s bottom line:
This still camera is exciting because it has a single large CMOS imaging sensor, which means the depth-of-field is similar to a film camera rather than a typical camcorder with small chips.
And it records Quicktime 1080p HD at 30 fps, around 48 minutes to a 16 GB card, or, output through HDMI (no audio though) to a portable recording device (which one?). The format is H.264 at 38.6 Mbits/sec, which should look amazing.
And, the low light performance looks great. It will be around $3500 with one lens, more as you add lenses.
