Final Cut Pro for Avid Editors

by Diana Weynand

Apples'sFinal Cut Pro is a digital nonlinear editing system touted as offering motion picture editors the same power as the older Avid Media Composer, but with the advantages of desktop production. Writing for those familiar with the older program, Weynand (founder, Weynand Training International) uses Avid terminology to explain similar functions between the two systems. Later chapters describe features that are either unavailable in Avid or are handled substantially differently. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

About the author

Hi there. I’m Diana Weynand, or Coach D. If you read my book, you know by now that I love football and I love to “carpe vita” – seize life – by following a clear set of principles and taking action on them. It’s my mission to empower people to mastermind their lives by doing the same thing using the LIPSTICK FOOTBALL Method.

I love writing, coaching, speaking and motivating groups—large and small, young and not as young. I'm a problem solver and I love the challenge of “cracking a marble” to break down a complex challenge, goal or project into actionable steps.

However challenging and messy it may be at times; love your life. As Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

I choose adventure.
