Here's my compiled recommended cameras for shooting video in 2015. The models are selected based on these 6 available features: - Manual Exposure - Manual Focus - Manual White Balance - Optical Zoom - External Microphone Input Jack - Head/Earphone Output Jack (Other features I look for are: 20x optical zoom, Wifi Control, Wifi Video Transmission, 4K, Switchable 30/25 fps, large sensor for low noise, shallow DOF for bokeh) One more thing... This recommendation is for Business and Corporate users who want to shoot their own video in-house. If you want cameras for TV and Cinema, that will be another article. As at April 2015, the best Sony camcorder models that fit my criteria are: - FDR-AX1E 4K Camcorder with four times the image quality of Full HD. S$5,599. (More for professional videographers because of the size) http://www.sony.com.sg/product/fdr-ax1e - FDR-AX100E: 4K Camcorder with 1 inch Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor.  S$2,699.

First Things First I bought the MacBook Pro Retina with GPU nVidia CUDA. It's top of the range, so should be speedier for video editing. http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/ The Problem Speed is the same with or without GPU. Switching to GPU caused more crashes. After Effects cannot detect GPU for 3D raytracing The Discovery You have to enable CUDA in the MacBook Pro Retina. http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2013/09/13/enabling-cuda-for-the-mercury-playback-engine-in-the-macbook-pro-retina/ Types of rendering engine Software Open CL CUDA ...and OpenGL (a different ballgame) http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/cuda-mercury-playback-engine-and-adobe-premiere-pro.html Mac uses OpenCL Graphics card compatibility for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202239 Software using CUDA Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe After Effects Adobe Media Encoder I am going to do these steps next and have it r

I want to branch into Video SEO business, but is it more profitable than my current Videography service? Here's what I found... Neil Patel built an SEO agency and made millions from it.   - 2013 Stumbled upon the business after giving his college speech on SEO, where he got his first client. The main ways to get new clients is through (1) speaking at conferences, (2) blogging,  (3) helping out bloggers and (4) referrals.  BLOG posts with more technical content and data get MORE LEADS. SPEAK at non-SEO/marketing conferences that charge at least $1000 per ticket. Talk about tactics people can use. Show example of companies using the tactics. Wrap up with data that shows your methods were successful. GIVE free SEO for bloggers and companies, in exchange for a link back to your site "SEO by...". SEO Clients rarely stick with you for more than 3 years. (My videography clients stuck with me for more than 7 years and still sticking!) Keep in touch with clients
