About the Post-Production Workflow

I

Here is an overview of the basic Final Cut Express HD post-production workflow. As you
begin your project, remember that there are no hard and fast rules for editing. Different
editors have different working styles and, given the same source material, no two
editors will cut the same finished program. The workflow described here offers just one
example of how you might approach a typical project.
