Brad Williams, vice-president, member benefits and development for NAB, talks about how the NAB Show has changed over the last few years and, more importantly, where it is going in the future. Can you image the NAB Show... on the web?

Wes Plate, president, Automatic Duck, drops by to talk about their latest news - a strategic partnership with Edit Share allowing media to move seamlessly between Final Cut Pro and Avid -- as well as a dirt-simple way to copy every file in your project from where ever you left it to where ever you want it. AND, as an added bonus, we discover where and how Automatic Duck got its name!

Alan Lewis, marketing manager, broadcast & communications, Canon, knows lenses. So, in this conversation, we talk about what happens before the images even hit the sensor. What makes a good lens, how to understand how lenses are named, and why it takes nine YEARS to develop a new lens.

Bruno Sargeant, television industry manager for media and entertainment, Autodesk, is showcasing new software called "Flair," that's designed for te assistant visual artist in an effort to create meaningful apprenticeship programs. Discover all the options (well, at least some of them) that Autodesk has to offer in this wide-ranging conversation.

This is a great show, filled with interviews you won't find anywhere else.
