Rick Young,
Patio Rm., Cost: $45
UK Filmmaker Rick Young provides an in-depth look at affordable HD
production with Final Cut Pro using sub- $10, 000 cameras. When editing HD
footage one needs to know the pitfalls and the procedures to getting the job
done. In essence, HD production is very similar to working with standard
definition, however a proper knowledge of HD codecs and compression will go a
long way towards completing, encoding and outputting HD content. Tape and
file-based formats to be specifically dealt with include: HDV, AVCHD, XDCAM EX,
DVCPro HD.
Rick Young is
the author of the best-selling Focal Press book, “The Focal Easy Guide to Final
Cut Pro 6.”
