Useful Links for Graphics, Video, and Photo Editing

Maybe Final Cut scares you… or maybe you think Adobe is something you make bricks out of. Either way, the links I have pulled together will help anyone get ahead with Final Cut Studio and Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications. The links are organized by category. Enjoy!

If you ever want to know how to do something with a particular piece of software, check out Lynda.com first for handy video tutorials. Be advised, you can only watch the first few episodes of each entry without signing up for an account. If you’re on campus, be sure not to forget about Atomic Learning‘s great videos.
