editing Andrew Kramer of CreativeCOW.net has made a great video tutorial that shows you how to change the frame rate of a video in After Effects, while maintaining full quality.
For my latest project, I needed to convert HD stock footage of various flavors (29.97 fps NTSC to 25 fps PAL, some 1080i) to 720p, 23.976 fps. I edited everything in Premiere Pro and burned to Blu-Ray disc. All the conversions went well and without a hitch. Thanks Andrew!

editing,
workflow I was looking through Lifehacker’s coolest workspace contest and figured most editors could most relate to the multi-monitor section. Once we edit with a dual-monitor setup, it’s really difficult to go back to using a single monitor. These setups made me really jealous, until I saw Al Gore’s workspace with three 30-inch cinema HD LCD displays with an HD LCD next to them. Crazy!

computers,

workflow Videoguys has updated the original version of their DIY 5 editing computer with updates from NAB 2007. The new guide for building your own HDV editing workstation is complete with thorough explanations of every PC component and their reasoning behind choosing one model over another.
I like to take the recipe a step further and use the quietest PC components to make sure my new workstation isn’t overpowered by one part that’s louder than a jet engine–I like it better when my creativity isn’t disturbed by something like an annoying $5 case fan.

editing,
graphics,
workflow I can’t wait for the release of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium, rumored to ship June 12. Not only will there be a ton of new features as in every release, even tighter integration across applications, and…
…Mac compatibility, so those Final Cut Pro users can see what Premiere Pro is all about. I started using Final Cut Pro 6 years ago, and had to switch to Premiere Pro for work to match their work flow. I haven’t stopped using one over the other, but Premiere Pro is easy to learn, and I’ve since preferred it over Final Cut Pro just as a matter of personal preference. They are equally capable.
I’d be interested to see what Mac users thought of Premiere Pro!
