SESSION DESCRIPTION

“Ask Larry Anything!” is a free-form discussion of media production and post-production questions submitted by viewers. Hosted by Larry Jordan, subjects range from simple beginner questions to very specific issues of features, media, and editing techniques.

“I really liked this session,” Larry Jordan comments, “because it covered a number of subjects I always wanted to talk about, but hadn’t yet had the time to discuss.”

This session focused on five key subjects: Business, Export, Apple Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Adobe Premiere Pro. Key questions included:

• How should we archive media and projects?
• What determines compressed file size?
• Would you explain Final Cut’s export settings?
• How can we create a “jittery old film” look in Motion?
• How should we set keyframes in Premiere?
• What’s a better way to set audio levels in Premiere?

More than 20 questions were illustrated and answered in this 53 minute session. The complete subject list is below.
