Episode Thirty Of A Pixelriffic Podcast
It's been a while since the last episode. It's tough to find the time these days. I'm pondering as to whether or not to continue with the podcast. If this happens, the site will simply become a text blog. This episode covers an inexpensive camera stabilizer called "Levelcam". If you can carry your lunch tray without spilling your food, you can use this thing right out of the package. Get ...

A listener writes in a while back about online video editing solutions. Yep, it sounded odd to me too at first, but you might be surprised how well these things actually work. They won't replace an editing application installed on your computer, but they're a great way for a newcomer to get started.

This episode was inspired by a great suggestion from a listener. Some thoughts and suggestions for the lone shooters out there. Those who've shot events as a one man show (or one woman show for that matter) can definitely relate to this experience. I'll cover a few things I've learned along the way.

Episode Twentysix Of A Pixelriffic Podcast
Several folks have suggested an occasional episode specifically about Sony Vegas. I don't see making the podcast all about Vegas video, but an occasional episode here and there will be dedicated to this great app. There is no perfect NLE app, at least not in this price range. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Vegas is however one of the best apps out there for audio production. Of...

Webcasting video isn't too terribly tricky, unless you want to webcast live. Things get a little more complicated then. I've recently experimented with the Helix Server, and the Helix Producer client. I hope to one day offer this as a service to clients, but as you'll see, there are some catches. Though it's not mentioned in the podcast, I've just begun playing with the Hamachi VPN client. ...

In this episode, I'll talk a bit about camera support.

It's actually closer to $150. And by the way, beware of some of the online retailers out there. Sadly, there are many huxters in the online DV retail...
