On the Pro Video Podcast, host Blair Walker talks with incredible content creators from around the world. Hear tips and stories on creating video content including filming, editing, colour grading, motion design, 3d, workflows and more – plus info on the best tools and technologies.

As an armature film make I stumbled across this podcast eager to learn.  I can be honest, this isn’t really geared to an armature film maker, but is says Pro in the title and it achieves exactly that.  The programs and methods that Blain the host speaks about are not only perfect for a high level editor, they are also inspirational to an editor like me.  There is a whole world of editing tools and products that I should at least start investing, and this is a great introduction for that.  A truly great podcast!

Really Technical for the Pros

Nice podcast with great information for video enthusiasts. I am a graphic designer and have the Adobe CS products, as well as Apple products, and am now looking into putting content on YouTube. So I was happy to hear your episode specifically discussing that. I look forward to more of your expertise as I set off into the world of video. Thank you!

Great info & discussion
