I detail what I use for everything below. The Surface Pro 3, along with my selected devices, provides the performance and capability of even the beefiest in-house studio equipment. You get used to it, though, and the effects are worth it. Sitting in my office chair, deep within my own personal Chernobyl, I almost feel like Bruce Banner waiting for the gamma blast. I half expect to find the carpet outside my office stained from the intense radiance. During the day, when the sun flows through my office window, it emits a radioactive glow seen clearly even from outside the room. Even in a dark room this color green seems to glow. If you're interested in the specific color, here's the specs:īe warned if you decide to do this yourself. It just works and works famously.Ī couple months ago I repainted my entire office in a horrid, green color so I could start using the Chroma Key feature (i.e., green screen foolery).

I don't have to do anything different, nor did I have to make any adjustments to the processes I already had defined. Using the Surface Pro 3 as my only recording and editing hardware now has actually expanded what I can do. And, this was clearly one of the areas where I had the biggest concern if the Surface Pro 3 could keep up. It did a great job for the video recording and editing that I do for work. Prior to kicking off my journey to eliminate everything I use for the Surface Pro 3, I had a beefy Dell mini-tower with lots of RAM, great CPU, and plenty of storage. This is another area where the Surface Pro 3 has excelled beyond my beliefs. In one of my previous diary entries, I hinted at using the Surface Pro 3 for video editing.
