Planning Tips

A couple of tips that a Final Cut Pro X tutor Larry Jordan recommended is to ask ourselves questions about planning:

Who is the Audience? what do they expect?

Who needs to see and approve the project?

What media or other files do you need?

What video format do you need to deliver?

What's your deadline?

What's your budget?
