Five best Video Editors on LifeHacker
Obviously a more consumer-based survey, they list Apple iMovie, Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro, Avid and Adobe Premiere. In the footnote of the article, they link to a very interesting comparison chart of pretty much every NLE in existence.
20-in-1 Stone Shaders for Cinema 4D
Envato's site, 3DOcean, has some free stone shaders for Maxon Cinema 4D as one of their Freebies of the Month. It shows it as $15 but I'm not logged in so possibly when you log in, it shows up as free.
REMINDER SF Cutters Last 2011 Meeting at Adobe 601 Townsend at 7th WED Dec 7 Tickets almost sold out
If you're in San Francisco, there's a do not miss meeting tonight at Adobe with SF Cutters. FCPX, Premiere Pro, NEW Techology: Coincident TV and Intelligent Assistants and what would life be like without Tippett Studios - sharing workdone on "IMMORTALS" and "BREAKING DAWN"! Tickets are $15.
Blackmagic Buys Terenex
Terenex makes "extremely high quality deinterlace, up conversion, down conversion, SD and HD cross conversion, SD and HD standards conversion, automatic cadence detection and removal even with edited content, noise reduction, adjustable scaling, aspect ratio conversion and smart aspect ratio 4:3 to 16:9 conversion, all with full time code and multi channel audio conversion." Seems like a good fit.
