QuickTime Pointers

While looking for info on downloading AJA codecs, something I needed to do to get ready for the color correction on The Red Machine (more on that soon!), I stumbled across this nifty page filled with tips on working with QuickTime:

FXGuide.com is affiliated with fxphd.com, a very cool-sounding online VFX training program; I’ve had fantasies about taking some of their courses — but no time, so for the moment, I’ve consoled myself with the bite-sized learning available at www.lynda.com, which is great.

I was recently talking to someone about learning about filmmaking technology, and I realized that aside from spending years interviewing the best in the fields of cinematography, visual effects, film editing, sound editing and mixing, I’d learned most of what I knew from www.pixelcorps.com, with Lynda.com a close second.  I’ve taken a lot of real-world classes too, some of them quite expensive, but those two online sources beat them all, and for a relatively low price.

Anyway, I thought the QuickTime info was very good.
