Video description
On a Mac, the sky's the limit for creating professional
video. With all the tools available though, it can be a daunting
task to decide which ones offer the best solutions for combined
efficiency and high-level results. How can you effectively
communicate your vision to clients and crew? How should you
calibrate your camera for multi-camera and green screen shoots? Is
it better to do your keying in After Effects, Motion, or Final Cut?
How should you set up your edit suite for efficiency and accuracy?
How do you manage large amounts of media and a multitude of formats
for multiple software applications?
In
Video Made on a Mac, you'll learn the answers
and much more. Chock-full of practical advice and step-by-step
instructions, each chapter provides insight on the critical
components of production and postproduction that can make all the
difference when you're up against a tight budget and schedule.
Whether you're an advanced Mac user or just beginning to
incorporate Adobe Creative Suite into your Final Cut Studio
workflow, you'll learn to apply best-practice techniques to all
your video projects.
These training videos accompany Video Made on a Mac and can
