- "Final Cut Pro X - Re-Focused" - Steve Martin, Mark Spencer, Jan Kovac
Join RippleTraining's Steve Martin and Mark Spencer as they lead an onstage interview with Jan Kovac, the lead editor on Warner Brothers feature film FOCUS. Much has changed since Final Cut Pro X's initial release, and Jan will discuss how Final Cut Pro X allowed them cut a feature film using editing workflows that included full dynamic range ProRes media; multicam clips to cut dialogue scenes, and his use of off-the-shelf plugins to create temp effects for screenings.

Steve Martin and Mark Spencer are the creative duo behind RippleTraining.com. With their weekly MacBreak Studio show, comprehensive online tutorials and productivity tools, they have been the vanguard educating editors, filmmakers and content producers all over the world on the benefits of using Apple’s next-generation post production tools.

About Jan Kovac
Jan Kovac was born in the Czech Republic and graduated from Prague’s Charles University with a degree in Film Journalism. Realizing he had more of an interest in working in film than writing about it, Jan moved to Los Angeles and enrolled at UCLA to study editing. Kovac honed his editing skills by working on the syndicated and international versions of HBO’s hit series, “The Sopranos,” “Six Feet Under,”  and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” among others.  By re-editing these successful series, Kovac learned how to interpret and honor different directing and writing styles that enriched his visual story-telling skills. 'FOCUS' is his first feature film.
