1. According to Don Basile and his Team
Highlights from NAB 2015

2. The Conference
As many of you already know NAB just
wrapped up this past week in Las Vegas.
NAB, or the National Association of
Broadcasters, is a yearly convention
where the biggest names in video
related software come together in Las
Vegas to show off their new products.
Every year I walk away from NAB with a
feeling of excitement while reflecting
upon the products I believe will change
the fields we work in. This year, I can think
of 3 products that really stood out above
the rest.

3. Drones (Also known as UAVs)
I was blown away at the amount of drones I
saw while walking the floor this year. It seemed
that every company has jumped on board and
now want to get involved in what they have to
offer.
The role that drones play in the video broadcasting industry is huge, giving us
the ability to capture footage that would have otherwise cost thousands of
dollars. I firmly believe that drones are the way of the future in the video
industry and we are just scratching the surface of what they are capable of.

4. Video Editing Software
Although Apple didn’t have a booth at NAB I think it is important to
mention the release of the new version of Final Cut Pro X. With
improvements on masking, slow-motion and not to mention fixing the bugs
from past versions in focus version 10.2 seems to be the best version of the
software so far.
Adobe also announced the next
version of their Premiere software
but didn’t give us an exact release
date. They let us know that
improvements on things like color
correction and ProRes support but
what really stood out was the new
Character Animator feature that is
able to generate cartoons based
on your own motions.

5. Black Magic Mini URSA Camera
Black Magic showed us a new camera and it is
awesome! It has similar features as their bigger
cameras but they were able to make it into a
much smaller design. Starting at $3000 it makes for
the perfect camera for an independent
filmmaker.
