Book 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. The accompanying DVD supplies you with project files and
high-definition footage so you can follow along with the examples,
as well as 50 training videos. 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.
