[videoblogging] Sony Vegas v. Final Cut
I saw the thread asking about Sony Vegas compression...and I have been wondering for some time what are some opinions regarding a comparison of Sony Vegas and Final Cut. I know Sony Vegas is PC only, but I heard that it has a faster work flow. Who has worked with both, and what are your opinions? Thanks Daniel
Re: [videoblogging] Sony Vegas v. Final Cut
I cut my teeth on Vegas, back when it was sonic foundry. It was awesome in terms of workflow and simplicity. I've just started to use FCP, but it's not really comparable. Vegas is like a super professional iMovie with pro audio and extremely flexible titling built in. I think it's better than final cut by far, but have not seen the latest and greatest. I'd create a dedicated PC workstation running Vegas if I had the money.

Re: [videoblogging] Sony Vegas v. Final Cut
It's impossible to judge things like workflow when comparing applications like these without knowing the specific task. How much effects work do you do? What kind? How complex are your audio needs? Do you need to animate masks? Are you mostly cuts only and need the fasted mouse-free interface you can get? There are people for whom imovie is overkill. There are people who find all of FCP Studio together or an entire suite of Avid products to be less than what they need, and dream of a laptop Smoke/Flame app that works in real time (c'mon Autodesk, put some resources into Combustion!) There are people who do everything in After Effects and are perfectly happy without a more targeted editing application. There are sound designers who can do most of their work within FCP or Avid, others who wouldn't dream of anything but Protools, others who can't imagine mixing without Logic's plugins. Among editing pros its an Avid and FCP world, period. (that doesn't include FCP express). But on the PC side, Vegas does get some serious respect, and at this point that's a unique niche. In the end, its the editor, not the app, that matters - unless the app crashes every five minutes.

Well, Vegas has never crashed on me, now I am not making a feature length film or anything, but I really like it and I would say for the PC I think it's the best editing software out there. I know it does a lot if not all of the basic tasks that FCP does.

So... How do I take my 1000 interested and somewhat engaged fans and turn them into 'true fans'? A bit about my history, and what I consider to be the problem... I've been doing online video for about 10 years now. This video here: http://blip.tv/posts/stats/8523 has been seen by just about every Disc Dogger with an internet connection on the planet. We've been teaching Dog Frisbee in North America and Europe for about 5 years, and have a great reputation as teachers, judges and competitors. I started k9disc.com a Disc Dog portal and discussion forum about 4 years ago, and it has been quite successful. Here's where the problem comes in: I've been giving instruction and tips away for people for about 4 years now, and I think that's been a bit of a problem. It seems that people would rather pay for an inferior product than to get a quality product for free. The Disc Dog community, as a group, tends to stifle people that try to do things differently - especially when there's accolades of money involved in the equation. It's very strange. I've largely avoided this problem, but it's still around here in the states and it's developing in Europe. So, how do I get past the 'it used to be free, now it's costing me' and the negative group dynamics on new ideas and projects to enable my 1000 interested and somewhat engaged fans and turn them into 'true fans'. Just kind of tossing things out there and could use the help.

I've estimated I have about 300 of what Kevin Kelly calls true fans, and I am earning about 1/3 of my living with my self-publishing (in print and eBooks). Over the past three years it has been my objective to shift my position left-ward on the long-tail, increasing access to my fans, and increasing my income, largely using interactive video over the internet to connect more closely with those who can pay me for my helping them care for their historic buildings. This past year it really seems to be working and Kevin's essay 1000 True Fans crystalizes my thinking on this and gives me new criteria for measuring my success, and two new ways to push in that direction. Andrew, thanks for posting this.

Re: [videoblogging] 1000 True Fans
Thanks Andrew! Great article...

One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans. While some artists have discovered this path without calling it that, I think it is worth trying to formalize. The gist of 1,000 True Fans can be stated simply: A creator, such as an artist, musician, photographer, craftsperson, performer, animator, designer, videomaker, or author - in other words, anyone producing works of art - needs to acquire only 1,000 True Fans to make a living. A True Fan is defined as someone who will purchase anything and everything you produce. They will drive 200 miles to see you sing. They will buy the super deluxe re-issued hi-res box set of your stuff even though they have the low-res version. They have a Google Alert set for your name. They bookmark the eBay page where your out-of- print editions show up. They come to your openings. They have you sign their copies. They buy the t-shirt, and the mug, and the hat. They can't wait till you issue your next work. They are true fans. http://tinyurl.com/32zzlp [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] 1000 True Fans
Hello, Interesting read. I wonder how this translates when you've got nothing to sell. Advertising seems like a possible solution (as the article mentions). But it would be nice if video bloggers could keep more of the advertising money. (I think we could use an open advertising system based on open source software. But nothing suitable exists yet.) Jay has been promoting the Pledge Drive business model too... http://showinabox.tv/download/pledge-drive/ Where it's PBS style fund raising.

[videoblogging] Two New Versions of Miro: Sliced by Genre
http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/03/two-new-versions-of-miro-sliced-by-genre/ Really interesting. It would be cool if there was a way for people to somehow configure these download all by themselves. For example a community could maintain their own list of video blogs. (Using XOXO, OPML, or something.) So for example, if a community had a list of video blogs at: http://example.com/thelist/ Then you could configure the download using: http://getmiro.com/download?href=http://example.com/thelist/ (Or something like that.)
