Avid Studio rolls onto iPad, treads on iMovie's toes (video)
There may be a number of options for budding iPad Scorseses, now you can add Avid's "Studio" to that list. Conveniently launching at the same price as iMovie, Avid's intention to woo Apple's users is clear. Those five bucks get you a tidy storyboard solution, "precision" editing, the usual array of transitions and effects, plus multi-channel audio support (including access to your iTunes library). Video can be shot from the device itself, of course, and camera kit owners can import footage from your archives. The final results can then be rendered in either 480p, 540p and 720p or shared via the usual social options. Most importantly, projects can also be finished off in the desktop version -- handy, if they start getting into Titanic territory. It's available today, just focus your iPad at the app store (or the source link below).
Fox affiliate in Texas shoots news story on iPad
With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, Fox affiliate KBTV's Mike McNeill stopped by Spec's Liquor Store in Beaumont, Texas, to discuss the various alcoholic options available for properly (and responsibly) celebrating the holiday. In the video, McNeill claims he shot the entire report using only the camera in his new iPad 2. "All the experts who know how to shoot these kind of stories are out on real stories," says McNeill in his report. "So, I just grabbed my iPad 2 and decided hey, you know what, we're Fox 4, we're innovators." Moments later, McNeill points the camera at his iPad 2 box as evidence that he's using Apple's new tablet to shoot the story. This is the first known broadcast created using an iPad 2.
