This book is intended to direct motion picture editors through the complicated maze of postproduction workfl ow using Final Cut Pro Studio with Cinema Tools, Adobe graphics applications, and Pro Tools. While there are many other paths through this maze, this book focuses on workfl ows using only these software packages. This is not because this is the most common or simplest way of editing motion pictures, but precisely because it is not the most common. The advantages of these workfl ows are cost savings, fl exibility, and freedom. Freedom to edit on a laptop in a cabin at Lake Tahoe or the red sandstone cliffs of Utah, fl exibility to edit 35 mm fi lm,
high-defi nition digital, or digital videoall from the same system. And the cost savings can slash equipment costs by as much as 95 percent. It is also a system that can evolve with changing demands and new technologies. Because this book is dedicated to these concepts, there are chapters on such diverse subjects as improving digital titles on National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) video, conforming negative, digital intermediates, and even sound design, all with an eye on cost savings. This book is not intended to be a how-to guide on software. It is assumed that the reader has a good working knowledge of basic digital video editing using Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools.
