Title: Using Final Cut to edit video.

Abstract: Seeing that soon we will have a powerful Apple machine in the lab it makes sense to introduce one of the applications best suited for it: video editing. Final Cut is a non-linear video editing program that's easy and intuitive to use (once you've mastered the 600 page manual) that can produce cool results very quickly. In my tech talk I will summarize some of the simpler, but useful features and give a short tutorial on how to use them.

5. General Discussion Items
