Broadcast editors work with deadlines that are the most
demanding in the field. To help you meet those deadlines and learn
to use Final Cut Pro at the same time, this easy look-up guide
focuses on the essential features that you need to get your stories
done quickly without sacrificing quality. For editing everything

You’ll learn the best methods for making audio adjustments,

Torelli. Read his book. In clear, simple terms, he'll show you
things you might miss that will make you a better
storyteller.”

videographer-editor.”
