Final Cut Pro Workflows – The Independent Studio
Handbook
Reviewed by Robert Pritchett
Introduction
Today's digital production tools
empower the small team to produce multimedia projects that formerly required
large teams. Orchestrating a production requires more than proficiency with the
postproduction tools. This book offers a cookbook of production workflows that
teams can follow to deliver an array of products to their clients. It describes
appropriate postproduction workflows, team roles and responsibilities, and
required equipment for some of the most common media productions.
- Real-world
workflows and case studies provide blueprints that readers can follow to
efficiently coordinate multimedia projects
- Clearly
defines team member responsibilities and details their roles in efficient
postproduction workflows
- Provides
technical and administrative direction that smoothes the way to expanding a
studio's postproduction repertoire
What I Learned
It is good to be able to sit at the feet to folks who are
professionals and learn from their experiences. Especially when it comes to
Final Cut Pro.
The book does tend to get a little heavy into job
descriptions and responsibilities, and rightly so. One person can't pull off a
large video project alone. There is just too much to do. It takes a community
effort from a people with a lot of different backgrounds and experiences. And
if you don't believe me, look as the credits roll by on the next successful
blockbuster movie. This book does a great job showing how to successfully
navigate through major movie projects.
Conclusion
Get serious with a serious book on the topic of
project-managing Final Cut Pro.
