COURSE DESCRIPTION

This webinar was suggested by a newsletter reader, Coleen, who asked:

I would love to learn tips or tricks for efficient ways to work with lots of photos in a project. I produce a lot of docs and videos with a historical perspective so photographs and other images end up being important (as well as archival video when its available).

So, this week, we take a detailed look at working with stills inside Apple Final Cut Pro X. What you’ll discover is that the challenge with stills is not the editing, but the preparation and organization. This webinar covers:

• Image Basics
• Repair Images in Photoshop
• Organize Files in the Finder
• Images & Final Cut Pro X
• Ken Burns vs. Keyframe Moves
• Create Moves with Multilayer Graphics
• Summary
• Audience Questions
