When it comes to video titling, special effects and enhancements, nobody does it better than NewBlueFX. The company has had a long standing with video producers across all platforms.
At this year’s NAB, Travis White from NewBlueFX sat down to have a chat with Don Baine about the company’s latest creation, Titler Pro 4. Travis said that the newest Titler Pro was built on an entirely new engine with much better performance. He also said that the application can run as a plugin and should be compatible with most major video editing suites (Apple, Avid, etc.). Titler Pro has many new features. For example, the program can now import PSD files to be used in animations. Titler Pro also now offers support for Open FX.
Titler Pro offers three different versions as varying price points, depending on the needs of video producers.

Fujinon is a well respected manufacturer of camera lenses. Fujinon was recently tied more heavily to its parent company, Fuji Film. It’s a small change in name only. The Fuji folks are still hard at work creating new top of the line products.
On-the-spot media production can be tricky. There’s a lot of moving parts to consider; cameras, microphones, mixers, and all of their accessories. Traditionally, crews would head out with all kinds of bags and cases to haul their gear. But more and more, people are producing with smaller rigs like mobile phones or tablets.
Livestream has been a leader in Internet broadcasting since the early days of the medium. The company’s continued success has been built on its willingness to respond to customer feedback and evolve with new trends.
Ever wonder what the first true digital medium of communication might be? Most of us probably think of something that involves old modems or maybe some kind of wireless communications system. But the truth is that it goes back much farther than that.
This post kicks off a series of video presentations recorded at this year’s National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show in Las Vegas. These videos showcase new products that may be of interest to professional media producers.
Thunderbolt is seen by many as the latest and greatest protocol for things like high speed data transfer and HD video production. And while Apple has included Thunderbolt inputs on many of its desktop computers for awhile, the technology has been somewhat slow to catch on. Of course, the progression of technology waits for no one, and despite its lack of ubiquity in the wider world, development of newer and faster Thunderbolt technologies has carried on.
4K video is old news to media professionals. And even tho there have been plenty of products built from the group up with 4K in mind, there are still a lot of legacy manufacturers that need to catch up. Nvidia is a leader in the video processing world. And while they’ve offered some 4K products already, the company believes they still have some improvements to make in how their products handle ultra HD signals.
Sometimes it seems like we really are living in a brave new world when it comes to the many options we have available for mobile media gathering. What used to require a huge rig with tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment can now be achieved (in many cases) with a mobile phone, tablet and/or a prosumer-grade camera. But there are still challenges when it comes to using these devices efficiently while also making them come together to ultimately create a single entity that’s better than the individual parts.
