... to edit their latest, Intolerable Cruelty.
The title above links to an Apple PR piece, but it’s still full of
clues for student filmmakers to learn about their working methods – very cheap by Hollywood standards and very effective. I haven’t seen the Coens’ latest – not fond of Ms. Zeta Jones, myself.

Not just for Final Cut Pro folks:
MacNN points to Avid Free DV,
a limited (but not too limited) video edit application available as a
free download for Windows XP or Mac OS X. It has some limitations, but
with this and QuickTime Pro for $29.95, you can export to 24 different
formats, including MPEG-4.

“Personally, I’ve been feeling lately like Userland is missing an opportunity.”
I agree. I like what they’ve allowed me to do, hosting this site on
their boxes for almost three years without charging a dime, but they
REALLY need to reach out to education. If they’d create a
teacher/educator-oriented installation guide that emphasizes its
flexibility and control (for privacy issues, etc) and improve their
documentation, they could clean up. Dave Winer’s (founder and ex-CEO of Userland, still its biggest shareholder, etc) fellowship at Harvard
has helped bring attention to blogs in university-level education, but
he doesn’t understand issues facing teachers in K-12 schools and their need for
true ease-of-use.——-
