	Magnet Media's award-winning Digital Media Training Series™ presents Editing with Final Cut Pro in the Field. In this 4 1/2 hour training, you will master the essentials of Final Cut Pro while learning invaluable tips and techniques to edit professionally in the field on the latest Apple Powerbooks. If you've never edited before, you'll see how easy it can be from the start, as professional editor and instructor, Dave Marcus, introduces you to Final Cut Pro. Then, you'll jump into a real-world project to learn how to enhance your audio quality, assemble professional sequences, perform color correction for troubled shots, and optimize your Powerbook's performance to get the most out of Final Cut Pro. The instructional footage is included on the DVD so you can work along with the instructor or experiment on your own. By the end of the training, you'll be ready to take your portable studio into the field, and deliver broadcast-quality editing projects.


	“ ... Having used Final cut pro for a short time, I was keen to learn more at my pace, without having to go on a course and your disc will fit the bill... Many thanks for a super service. Ordered on Thursday and delivered the following Tuesday in the UK. What a small world we live in. The contents of (Inside Final Cut Pro in the Field) are very clear and concise and I look forward to completing the course.” - Paul Flint, Assistant Manager, Physics Photographic Unit, Oxford University
