Video Editing
Announcing our new 5.1 surround digital video editing capability. Our engineers are nationally certified in both the AVID MEDIA COMPOSER digital video editing systems and of course the MACINTOSH FINAL CUT PRO VIDEO EDITING SYSTEM. (We use FCP 7. We bought Apple's FCP 10 and recognized, along with the rest of the industry - a HUGE STEP BACKWARDS. It is a dumbed down version with no professional audio editing capability, limited compatibility with the pro systems used in Hollywood and REAL editors like us. It was made for Mom and Dad to play with their "vacation to the Grand Canyon", typically shot on an I Phone - not real "Broadcast Quality Digital Cinema Cameras" in other words FCP 10 is a total and utter joke). FCP 7 is used in 10,000's of major feature films, television productions and the "high end" web production. If someone you call is foolish enough to admit using FCP 10, that will be the first of MANY warning signs you are dealing with amateurs - or at best the wrong facility. We speak from 4 decades of experience, plus our network of hundreds of fellow professional editors and owners all watching the industry trot out mistake after mistake -so don't be taken in by some kid who graduated from a non state approved 12 month training facility and think they can produce. Remember "those that can do - those that can't teach" - we have to "make our bones" each and every day or we would go out of business. Experience ALWAYS pays off- especially if it spans the ENTIRE MODERN ERA of digital media! Photoshop, After Effects and the entire Adobe Suite, Boris Effects and a host of other digital editing add ons round out the Southeastern United States' most experienced and longest continuously operated full service multi-media facility. Our productions are on the air regularly all over the world - even You Tube is crowded with our productions for Lowe's, Gardner Roofing products and many other high end corporate productions. Not to mention we are the only facility in Tampa to shoot, record and edit a music video that has over a third of a million views with 5000 to 4 "Like" ratio. Your corporate, trade show, media ads and music videos can also be filmed, edited and authored to DVD in our state of the art facility for VERY reasonable rates! We have the only truly SOUND PROOF sound stage withing 700 miles. Visit our sister company's website PROGRESSIVEMEDIA.PRO to view various samples of our diverse and extensive body of work. We drive and fly all over the world for on location shooting on an as needed basis. Contact us for more information regarding shooting raw tracks for your video locally or forwarding us the unedited tracks. (We routinely rescue projects that were ineptly thrown together by someone with a cheap DSLR, thinking they can be the next Scorsese. When the reality is shooting Professional Digital Cinema as we do, requires SO MUCH MORE THAN A CHEAP DSLR STILL CAMERA YOU CAN BUY OFF THE SHELF FROM "BEST BUY" THAT HAPPENS TO DO VIDEO TOO! A good rule of thumb is that if some one shows up with these cheesy Canon, Nikon or whatever, still camera to a shoot -THROW THEM OFF THE SET! That's a wedding photographer trying to waste your time and MONEY! There is a reason we use rugged Ultra Hi Def Hollywood level movie gear, including several hundred thousand dollars of ancillary lighting, grip gear, remote trucks, all the editing equipment and special effects, music libraries, over $75,000 in continuous education and counting. We will post (digitally edit and conform) your project, add special video effects from our bag ‘o tricks, and use the audio from the CD we replicated for you! We have special “get to know you” deals on editing and DVD manufacture. Call ASAP and let us know how we can help you create an exciting new marketing tools and fresh streams of revenue for your company!
