		<title>Natural Looking Architectural Interiors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No lights were used in these photos. Most architectural interiors have a contrast range that is too wide for the CMOS sensors to capture in a single exposure. Extensive lighting equipment has been used for years. The new technique, called HDR (High Dynamic Range), uses digital technology and software to create the images, not lighting [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Editor Switched to Adobe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[THE &#8220;31 YEARS&#8221; VIDEO When Apple released it&#8217;s latest editing software, Final Cut Pro X, a few months ago I knew that it couldn&#8217;t handle several of the editing tasks that I frequently use such as multi-clip editing and multiple audio tracks. Apple is a great company and is already adding important features to FCPX, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Professional Editing Crossroads, Apple or Adobe?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple&#8217;s Final Cut X is not a professional editing system. I will give them 6 months to see what improvements are made to FCX or if they reintroduce, and continue to support, final Cut Studio 3. I have too much time and $s invested in FC, Motion, Color, Compressor and DVD Studio Pro to jump [...]]]></description>

		<title>DSLR Shutter Speeds and ND Filters for video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you shoot video with your DSLR camera you should use 1/50 (for 24P) or 1/60 (for 30P) second shutter speeds. You can vary that slightly but fast shutter speeds will give your motion a strobing effect; slower than 1/40 will give you too much blur when you pan. When shooting in full sun use [...]]]></description>

		<title>DSLR Camera Support/focus Rig for Documentaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lighter materials plus a focus wheel make this DIY &#8220;Fig-Rig&#8221; a good tool for documentary videos. The benefits are; 1) Steadier hand-held camera 2) Option for external mic for better sound. 3) Focus with one finger by distance or Marshall monitor. For the smoothest footage while walking I stretch a light rubber resistance band around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matching the 5D to the Panasonic HVX200 (revised 2/1/11)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;look&#8221; of your video is personal and can be obtained in post but if you start with all your footage looking similar it will save time in editing. First, I set the 5D Mark II to the Neutral picture style and I left the contrast and saturation at zero (default). I saved this setting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Which Viewfinder for the Canon 5D Mark II?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When using the Live view/Movie mode on the 5D mkII, I started with the Letus Hawk viewfinder . I wear glasses but I had to remove them to get my eye closer to the eye piece.

		<description><![CDATA[Nikon, Thanks for a wonderful 30 year career! You have been the most dependable things that I&#8217;ve ever owned. However, as I begin my 4th year in video production the right choice was to invest in Canon cameras and lenses. This one system will produce top quality photographs as well as 1080 P HD video.
