An intuitive, flexible and almost infinitely-customizable NLE We’ve talked with the people at Sony creative Software about their offerings before, and it’s always great to find out what the people behind the curtain are thinking about and working through. User experience is often a much different conversation though, and we wanted to find out what the users of products like Sony Vegas Pro were saying about the product. To do so, we tracked down David Jimerson from WrightsvilleBeach Studios, where the dedication to creating the finest, most informative, and most entertaining training materials for how to make films is evident. They’ve done multi-hour instructionals for filmmaking, the prominent ones being Sound for Film and Television, Lighting for Film and Television, and 24p and Frame Rates.

David is presently producing an instructional series for the Catalyst Suite.
