MIGRATING YOUR
FINAL CUT PRO 7 PROJECTS TO PREMIERE

With the release of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, a lot of Final Cut Pro 7 editors are taking a long, hard look at moving their projects into Premiere Pro. This on-line video tutorial shows you what you need to know to make the switch.

One of Adobe’s principle goals for the latest version of Premiere was to make the software much more comfortable to Final Cut editors. From the blinding speed of the Mercury Playback engine, to simplified import for most Final Cut projects, this new version of Premiere will be very comfortable to Final Cut editors — once you migrate your project over.

That’s where this webinar can help. Filled with information from Adobe, coupled with step-by-step instructions on what you need to do to move your projects from either FCP 6 or FCP 7 into Premiere, this session shows you what to expect. It also details what makes the transition, what doesn’t, and provides guidelines on how to keep Premiere running smoothly.

Anyone considering switching to Adobe Premiere will find this session invaluable. With clear guidance on what to expect, what to do, and what to avoid. Plus, Larry will show you how to save time in the process.
