SESSION DESCRIPTION

There is never enough time for an edit. Especially today. Deadlines are tighter than ever. Anything we can do to shave seconds off an edit is the difference between having lunch or having an ulcer.

This session covers virtually every aspect in Final Cut Pro and shows you how to access, optimize or use it faster.
