Pro Tools for Film and Video

Step by Step Guide for Editing Sound to Picture Using Pro Tools

This guide explains the Pro Tools systems and covers all key audio topics including equipment, sound, music, effects, output, and mixing tools.

Intended Audience

The book is for professional sound engineers and film students needing to use sound effects and edit sound to picture in Pro Tools. Pro Tools is used by 80% of the motion picture industry and is taught in most film schools.

Market Context

While many Pro Tools books exist, most are aimed at music users, and there is a lack of material specific to film and video applications of this software.

Approach and Content

The book is clearly set out and thorough, taking a practical approach. A live project runs through the chapters, illustrating how different functions are added to a film, providing real detail on application. It is extensively illustrated in colour and packed with time-saving hints and tips. A DVD with tutorials completes the package.
