About this episode

Robb and Bodie discuss their video podcast editing workflow from Riverside to Final Cut Pro, emphasizing the importance of organization.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Robb and I break down the complete editing workflow we use to move from Riverside.fm’s built-in editor to a fully organized Final Cut Pro project.
