Audition: Made for Video {part one}

Audition: Made for Video {part one}

May 31

I recently wrote an article for ProVideo Coalition where I demonstrate how creating a workflow can save you time and money. What I’ve shared, is the workflow I use when creating episodes of motion+connect. I show how to bring single clips, multiple clips, and complete sequences from Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition – with and without video. We take a look at the roundtrip process of taking audio back into Premiere, and then, the ease of going back and forth between the two applications to make changes, sweeten the audio or master the final audio.

The search for his replacement was on.

The Age Old Debate:        Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro

The Age Old Debate:        Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro

Jan 29

I have been a long time Final Cut Pro user starting with Version 1. About a year ago, I made the decision to switch to Adobe Premiere Pro. For many years, video editors have debated the age-old question: which editing software is best. Is one program really better than the other? The answer? There is no answer. What’s right for one person or workflow, may not work for another. What I can share is what I’ve discovered from my experience.
