1 ERICA LEE Editor Profile Over 20 years experience as an Editor of documentaries, promos and commercials. Avid, Final Cut Pro & Premiere, long-form & short-form, broadcast & social media. While I love the faster pace of promos and ads, I enjoy the gentle unravelling of the story in documentaries. Keen to have editorial input, I get on well with Producer / Directors but also get the job done quickly and effectively when left to my own devices. Storytelling and music are my strength and my passion. I m adept at jumping straight in whether at the rough cut or polishing stage. I m creative, methodical and precise. I notice details no one else sees. I m the person you go to when you want someone who cares. Editing: Avid (over 10 years), Final Cut Pro (10 years), Premiere (1 year), Media 100 (7 years). Formal Training in Editing: Avid Intermediate Editing, VET, Final Cut Pro for Avid Editors, Ahead Training & Final Cut Pro Intermediate Editing, Connections, Additional Knowledge: Compression of digital files, broadcast specs, scriptwriting, project management, administration. Basic graphics (Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator), basic DVD authoring (DVD Studio Pro, DVD Producer).
