StudioNow - Making the Cut

StudioNow Partners with Sony Creative Software

StudioNow has a large contingent out here at the NAB for an announcement that we are very excited about:

StudioNow and Sony Creative Software's Vegas Pro have formed a partnership that we think is a tremendous win for both sides.  Sony Creative Software will be promoting StudioNow as a service through which their Vegas Pro users can access video projects for on-demand work and in turn, Vegas Pro users will have a customized, branded profile and interface that will allow them to access projects and showcase their work.

We are currently accepting registrations through the a co-branded StudioNow-Sony Vegas page at vegas.studionow.com.  We expect to launch the customized, co-branded experience for Vegas Pro members within the next 21-30 days.

If you are at NAB and would like to learn more about what we're doing, feel free to email me at john at studionow dot com.  I would welcome the opportunity to meet up with you.

Is 2008 The Year of the Editor?

Happy New Year to everyone who has contributed StudioNow's success to date.  We appreciate your hard work, and look forward to a successful 2008.

To get the new year kicked off, I wanted refer you to a blog post by one of our fellow entrepreneurs here in Nashville, Jackson Miller.  Jackson weighs in on the potential importance of editors - of all kinds - to the future of content online with a mention of StudioNow. 

There is such a demand for quality content out there, and it is only growing. As you might imagine, we agree that the future is bright for editors online. 

Here's to Jackson being right about 2008 being the year of the Editor - especially the StudioNow Editor.

How big is this opportunity?

An interesting post on video creation and automation showed up over at MediaPost's Video Insider

http://blogs.mediapost.com/video_insider/?p=135

We feel that it highlights the opportunity and the market that is out there for the services that we and you, Our Network, provide.  Is automation the answer?

We feel like StudioNow strikes the right balance by offering the benefits of the human creative genius (I mean can you really recreate that with a line of code?) but in a scalable platform that enables mass production.

But we're biased, what are your thoughts?  Where do you feel like we (and you) fit in?

Look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

John

Apple Releases Final Cut Express 4

In case you missed it, Apple released its latest version of Final Cut Express last week.  And as if that wasn't exciting enough news, they sweetened the deal by dropping the price from $299 to $199.

For our novice video editors out there, we think this is a great opportunity for you to try something with a few more features and grow your skill set without dropping the big bucks on Final Cut Pro.
