Final Cut Studio Documentation and Workflows Now Online
All of the Knowledge... With No Weight
By Richard Harrington | July 24, 2009
Need to know the latest about Final Cut Studio? Want to look something up about ProRes from your iPhone? Hate those big printed manuals that waste paper?
While its not a revolutionary step (others like Adobe have already placed their docs online) it is still a welcomed event. Some might wonder if trimming the manuals out allowed the huge price cut?
Regardless... the manuals and an even better Workflows document are now online.
The Apple documentation team has converted all of the documentation for the web. It is freely searchable and can even be linked to if you need to point to a specific article to help a colleague (an even nicer way to say RTFM).
You'll find them here at http://documentation.apple.com/
A great document is also the "Final Cut Studio Workflows." It's a little hidden within the Final Cut Pro help library: http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutstudio/workflows/
It offers great ideas on how Final Cut Studio applications fit into a post-production workflow. You'll also find practical guidance on how Final Cut Studio apps work with one another.
Enjoy.

Hi, I’m an amateur video movie maker. I’m trying to find out how a certain effect is achieved.
To illustrate, you may have seen police videos on TV where a person perpetrating a crime is highlighted in the video where the image of the criminal is “illuminated” from the remaining background in the video to attract the viewer’s attention. This was achieved thru editing or visual effects I assume.
I would like to find out (as an amateur) how this effect was achieved.
Is there a special video editing software required? I have heard Blender software can achieve this but I have never learned or used the software. If there is a better software (free preferably) please advise.
Thank you.
