SESSION DESCRIPTION

Nothing causes quite the confusion in video editing as media management. Before we can even begin editing, we need to figure out what to do with all the files that were generated on set. Whether you use Adobe Premiere Pro CC or Apple Final Cut Pro X, this week’s session is designed to get you headed in the right direction.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he starts at the beginning and explains what you need to know to pick the right storage for your project, organize your files and keep editing smoothly. This session covers:

• Key definitions, codecs, and workflow
• Media management concepts and requirements
• How storage bandwidth affects editing
• Practical examples using Adobe Premiere Pro CC
• Practical examples using Apple Final Cut Pro X

This session explains problems you may be having now and prevents problems as you experiment with new video formats in the future. This is especially recommended for all new editors.

AUDIENCE LEVEL
