Upgrades

I’ve recently upgraded to Adobe Master Collection CS5, and it’s quite a bit faster. On Mondays I capture and render out New Covenant Bible Church’s Sunday Sermon for different platforms (Web, iPhone, etc.) and yesterday I used Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and it rendered out all of the files I needed in a third of the time that it usually takes. It was absolutely awesome! I’m excited to be able to use this new 64 bit software, and I really think it’s going to make me more productive because it’s just so darn quick.

I also upgraded my AVID from 3gb of RAM to 8gb of RAM! WHOA talk about a boost! It’s great because my editing software (Media Composer and the Adobe Suite) will use every bit of it, and will allow me to just absolutely motor through projects. I’m really excited about that.

I also purchased the entire trapcode suite by Red Giant. It’s going to be really nice to use all of these new tools together to make the best product I possibly can!
