Tech For Work by TABGEEKS

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Steve and I had a great time chatting on this weeks episode before we hit the updates so it took a little longer than usual. Crazy times in the tech and social media worlds right now, anyone want to venture a guess how long it will be until Google gives social media another shot??

I have to apologize to everyone, over the last 45 episodes our sound has been much quieter than it should have been. I did a lot of digging and getting into super nerdy sound stuff and learned that I was exporting with the wrong set of parameters in Final Cut Pro as I had originally learned how to do it, but it turns out that was not in fact optimized for youtube. So you can stop cranking up the v...

Once again, Final Cut Pro was having a violent temper tantrum much like my 3 year old at bedtime last night.  I had to completely reinstall and re-setup my Final Cut library and app just to get it to render properly. Before I did all that, it wouldn't even render video, it output an 11kb file with a few words of the intro. It's like my computer was on strike. I am going to give Adobe Premier...

Back from the cruise, and man am I glad we did not try to record. The internet package I paid for had 500kbps up and down Google Chat wouldn’t even load.

Apologies for the delay in posting thi...
