I hope that you and others will get out of it, what you're willing to put into it. Not to sound cliche.

What makes PVC different is the group of writers attached to the main site: www.provideocoalition.com.

The idea behind PVC is that it is a collection of blogs from some of the best writers in the industry. For the community site here, we hope to have the community write their own reviews, case studies, challenges, etc.

We plan to link to those from PVC and we're always on the lookout for writers.

There are a ton of video sites out there. In fact I've managed several of the best, DV (back in the glory days), StudioDaily and Film & Video. Launching PVC was a combined effort with hand-picked writers to make a site we've always wanted.

Ultimately (here comes that cliche part again...) the more the community shares, writes, etc, the better this will be. Being the new kid on the block can be difficult when readers have their site habits, or the forums they frequent.

As far as benefits? We're working on some things now, but it's a tad early to share....

Blog Posts

Hi guys, you know I love ProVideoCoalition.com..but you also know that I'm the administrator of Finalcutmtl.org the Final Cut User Group of Montreal. Over here, in cold and white Canada we don't have much to do but edit video and prepare events and invite product designers to talk about their products. That is why we have a great video podcast feed with tons of interviews, product reviews and demos. We just finished the editing on our post-NAB conference. 3 hours of podcasts are available for th…

Motu updates the V3HD to V4HD

Motu who was long known for its audio interfaces has jump in the video bandwagon a little more than a year ago with the V3HD, a firewire attached input/output video capture card for Final Cut and Premiere. The V3HD was limited to DVCPRO HD but the new V4HD now works with the Apple ProRes codec and DVCPRO HD. This makes it a great alternative to the AJA Io HD. All connectors are available on the V4HD: composite, component, sdi, HD-SDI, HDMI, AES, Wordclock, genlock, timecode and optical, digital…

PVC-it Debuts on PVC

It's highly likely that you've heard of Digg. In fact, we have a Digg button on most articles, and have been "dugg" numerous times in our illustrious first 42 days of being online. The code monkeys here at PVC (namely me), have been working feverishly to bring a Digg-like clone to the professional video market. Let's face it, as valuable as Digg is, it's really for the general consumer m…

Theories on all the rumors....

With february come and gone as far as Avid's "announcments", the rumor mill has been going into overtime. Here is what I've heard: 1. Avid is buying Final Cut Pro 2. Avid is buying AJA 3. Avid is making a Mojo HD 4. Apple is buying Avid (old) 5. Adobe is buying them all (laughable) Anyone got any predictions about how this will "actually" play out? I normally pay no mind to the rumor mill but it's fun to speculate.

The writer's strike and you...the student

Well the madness is pretty much come to an end. And we are back to business as usual (albeit a little tighter than normal). I've had many of my students ask me how it would affect them as far as job opportunities and I always gave the same answer. It doesn't. Our interview numbers went way up. At my school, I help prepare our students for the real job world that you and I have grown accustomed to working in. In post, I have been working for the past ten years. In entertainment, the past fiftee…
