The television industry is moving to digital media and HD. The FCC has mandated that all US broadcasters be fully-digital by February 17, 2009. This requires a change in equipment, training, and programming. Suddenly, editors are no longer editing, they need to become technologists. Editors are being forced to be much more involved in camera and codec selection, pre-production planning and final output determination than ever before. And many of them are not equipped to make these decisions. That's where this book is critically important, as it is the only authoritative source announced that offers video editors specific details and solutions to HD video using Final Cut Studio. Editing High-Definition Video in Final Cut Studio 2 is a full-color product designed to help the average editor find their way through this media perplexity through practical solutions, workflows, examples, stories and tips that they can refer to again and again.
