Good gooblety goop! It's finally here--Photoshop 7.0 for Mac OS X ... and, uh, all those other operating systems as well. But who cares about those?

Final Cut Pro Quick Tip
Text treatment to enhance video productions
by Stephen Schleicher
If you have read my Final Cut Pro 3 review, you know I think it is a great NLE package for the Mac. In the review I mentioned that the text tools have been improved with the Calligraphy plug-in from Boris. The Boris plug-in is great, but there are still some cool things you can do with the basic text of Final Cut Pro.

Talkin' Smack: Bustin' Freestyle
How NAB 2002 bodes for the industry
by David Nagel
Our industry has been in a slump for more than a year now. Industry commentators and economists all have their own views of where we're headed and how soon we'll be out of it, based on certain economic indicators, such as unemployment, layoffs, consumer spending and the like. Me, I base the state of our industry on how much free stuff I pick up on a trade show floor. And judging from what I brought back with me from this year's NAB convention, I'd say we have a long way to go.

Caveat Emptor
Shifty dealings in the video industry
by Stephen Schleicher
It is nothing new to hear of less than honest people in the video industry. How many of us have run across a young starlet who has had a casting couch try out, or have met someone who slips you his or her card and says, "I’m a producer, I’ll make you famous"? While there are those less than honest people floating around, we would hope that those retailers, where we buy our production equipment, are a little more honest. That’s not what I’ve found out over the last couple of weeks.
