My old Western Digital HDD’s power supply died down on me just when I needed my files the most. *Note: I’m referring to the old WD Elements, with the 5-pin power supply and not the recently upgraded ones with A/C Adapters.
At first, I wasn’t pretty sure if it was the power supply or the drive [...]

Having plunged in digital media and avoiding to deal with tapes in the past, I’ve faced a new contingency regarding mini-DVs. Watch out if you’re still prone to this disaster!
Here’s the scoop: I shot various interview scenes for a corporate video using a Panasonic DVX100B. Most interviewees, or otherwise identified as the company leaders, came [...]

When editing videos for broadcast and video tapes, be wary of the title-safe and action-safe areas to make sure no edges from the footage are chopped off when viewed in some screens, especially old TV sets with 4:3 aspect ratio.
Adobe explains:
“Most consumer TV sets use a process called overscan, which cuts off a portion of [...]
