Editor’s Note
Technological convergence is here
to stay.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I
don’t get a press release that talks about
the convergence of still imaging and
video. From cameras to lenses, apps to
YouTube, the imaging market is abuzz
with the rush to release products that
improve the workflow of those working
in photography and videography. For the
photographer who’s open to new oppor-
tunities and willing to learn new skills,
it’s a tremendous time. A photographer
who can shoot images for an Instagram

campaign and who can also shoot video
for that same campaign is more valuable
than someone who can only shoot stills.
At
Digital Photo Pro,
we’re embrac-
ing this new converging world. Years
ago we launched
HDVideoPro
maga-
zine to address the (then) burgeoning
market of digital video products. Over
the last year, we’ve embarked on a pro-
cess of integrating video content into
Digital Photo Pro
magazine, and to
expand our coverage of video technol-
ogies on the HDVideoPro.com and
DigitalPhotoPro.com websites.
To make this change more visible, we
included an internal
HDVideoPro
cover
inside
Digital Photo Pro
to give a visible
indication of where video content began.
In this issue, we continue that process,
with a tweak to the look and more uni-
fied video coverage. The internal cover
is gone, and while we’ll still have video-
specific content in a section of the maga-
zine, the rest of the publication will
keep video in mind, as well. You’ll find
product reviews that expand the evalu-
ation of video use cases and techniques
providing instruction for both still and
motion shooters.
On the HDVideoPro.com web-
site, we’ll continue to cover gear
designed for the professional photog-
rapher entering the video space, right
up through the independent video

producer and cinematographer.
This will allow us to push timely,
interesting video content to readers in a
way that can
actually include video.
We
think this is a great way to showcase the
work done by the creatives in the field.
So, no matter your media, you’ll
find hands-on reviews, techniques,
tutorials and more, both here and on
our websites.
