Learn the secrets behind "Round-Tripping" between the Final Cut Studio suite of applications.

Final Cut Studio is a suite of applications that all work together to create professional video productions. But to get the most out of Final Cut Studio, you need to know how the applications interact ... a process called "round tripping" where you send files back and forth between the applications.

This FREE tutorial uses the Tableland documentary about sustainable agriculture and the 100 mile diet as source footage to show you how Motion 4, Color 1.5, Soundtrack Pro 3, and DVD Studio Pro 4 integrate with Final Cut Pro 7 in a typical professional workflow.

You'll learn how to send footage to Motion 4 to create a custom "Lower 3rd" title treatment, how to open clips in Color 1.5 and perform primary color correction, and also how to use Soundtrack Pro 3 to reduce background noise and hiss in your video's audio streams.
