Do you want a smarter faster way to load files into FCP?

Posted on April 6, 2010 by chimac| Comments Off

Try Digital Heavens Loader. This seems like a nice way to attach media to projects. Has anyone used this? It costs $79 and you can try before buy. I love it when software publishers offer this.

Is the App store critical to a Smart Phones success?

Posted on March 22, 2010 by chimac| Comments Off

Mr. Steinberg makes the argument that it is here. It makes sense and you see this logic with video games. I know that my parents bought a NES because it had more games then the other options available at the time. They also purchased a Magnavox Odyssey2 which is fantastic! The software made the fun, not the hardware.

Zune 4.0 Desktop Software

Posted on October 27, 2009 by chimac| Comments Off

From this website.

I’ve always been a big Windows Media Player (WMP) fan. I never bothered with any of the alternatives as WMP has always had most/all the features I’ve needed, and I despise iTunes (for way too many reasons to go into here!).
