The first of the MacVoices Holiday Gift Guide shows got of to a great start, with what has to be a record number of "steals" by the panel of host Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, and Kelly Guimont.

A short message from Chuck about an upcoming change to the MacVoices audio RSS feeds.

We are always talking to Mike Potter about his role as the organizer of Macstock Conference and Expo, and we wanted to change that. Mike provides the details of the Macstock Cyber Monday Sale before submitting to five questions about the tools he uses to organize the event, how he edits all that video, his music choices, his video services, and the surprising roots of his podcast, For Mac Eyes Only. You think you know Mike? You are going to be surprised. This edition of MacVoices is supported by ATTO. The Power Behind the Storage. Show Notes: Chuck Joiner is the producer and host of MacVoices.

Guests: Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

Final Cut Pro X has lots of almost-magic built into it, if you know where to look. In this Briefing, Chuck shows how the Flow dissolve transition is used, and why you might never know it, by showing off some examples using one of the most recent MacVoices shows. If you use Final Cut, this might add a tool to your arsenal. If you don't…don't worry, you will appreciate the magic.
