Canadian musician outsources his indie video to Bangalore, beauty ensues http://t.co/CJroi0xH
In a recent Terence and Philip Show we wondered whether outsourcing or automation would kill us first. Now we have an example of a music video being completely outsourced, with apparently great results.
We’ve submitted a bug-fix update for 7toX for Final Cut Pro to the App Store today – two days after release. Â The bugs fixed in this release are:
As promised, the latest release of Final Cut Pro X is released in “early 2012” – January 31 to be precise. This release comes almost exactly three months after the last major release (with a 10.0.2 bug fix between the two), which was three months from the original release. (Is this to be an ongoing pattern?)
So, the cat is out of the bag. Assisted Editing – Greg and I – have announced the immediate availability of our newest tool to translate Final Cut Pro 7 XML into Final Cut Pro X XML.

I’ve long said that there is no credible support for the ridiculous figures of “loss” to the US economy either in dollars or jobs. Even the US Government Accountability Office says there is no credible support for any of the ridiculous figures of loss promulgated by the MPAA and RIAA. And yet, the numbers are repeated by politicians and the mainstream media to “prove” that “piracy” is a problem “we can all agree on”.
No we do not “all agree”.
The President’s challenge http://t.co/g4LQL9Ss was to the tech community to “solve” the “piracy problem” in the White House’s rejection of the current form of SOPA.
But it misses the point and Nat Torkington nailed it brilliantly. I’d post the whole thing but that would not be right. It’s short, go read it.
