I recently did a video comparing Adobe Premiere render speeds on three of the top laptops out right now: the new Macbook Pro 15″ with Touchbar, Surface Book w/ Performance Base, and a gaming laptop by the company Razer called the Razer Blade 2016. Again, this wasn’t meant to be a laptop comparison, but instead a way of showing how these top performing laptops all handled a task that I, personally, have to do every

After my Razer Blade review, a slick laptop with a GTX 1060 built in, and the launch of Lenovo’s new Yoga 720 2-in-1, I think we can officially say we’re in a great time for gamers (and video editors, for that matter).

I recently did a post on how to update the Blackmagic Ursa Mini to the new Blackmagic Camera 4.0 update and one of the big reasons (besides the plethora of other ones) to update for me was to be able to preview LUTs in the camera finally (think of how a RED Camera can do this). After I installed the update, I immediately took two of my favorite LUTs and tried to figure out how

While checking out the Blackmagic Design site recently, I noticed the screen grabs of the Ursa Mini 4K and Ursa Mini 4.6K had changed –drastically. Instead of what I saw on my own Ursa Mini 4.6K, they had shots showing LUTs being previewed on the camera, controls that were over the image instead of a separate menu, and just an entirely new UI, if we’re honest. A lot of my biggest contentions with the camera were

With all the videos on the web focused on VR talking mainly about headsets, games, and just generally how to consume VR content, no one is talking about what is just as fascinating in my opinion —how it’s made.
