Testimonials

Anyone can claim to know how to use video editing software like Final Cut Pro, but knowing how to use the software and knowing how to use it in the real world aren’t the same thing. Finding someone who knows the latter and who can teach others is a rare and precious find.

But don’t take our word for it. See what professionals in television and film production have to say about Diane Wright.


Diane Wright can turn a linear mind into a non-linear mind in less than a week. She trained our entire staff of not only editors but news managers, producers and even promotion people.  They were cranking out vo’s and vo-sot’s in a matter of minutes…and knocking out packages by the second day of training. And the best thing I can say is that all of the lessons stuck…no one had to return for more training.

Diane is a patient task-master sensei in the art of Final Cut Pro. She’s helped me through my darkest hours of editing and speaks a language that non-tech folks can understand. I would still be working with a rock and a stick while using my computer as a stool if it weren’t for her. She’s to be cherished.

Thank you very much for “teaching us the ropes” during your two-day training session at KNBC. I really appreciated your deep knowledge of editing and the technicalities that come with learning a new system! But more than that – I truly thank you for your warm, understanding, personable style of teaching. I’ll learn from you any day!

Diane Wright is one of the best technical trainers in the industry. I’ve had the pleasure of having Diane as an instructor twice on various complicated editing systems. She made it easy to understand. She’s a pleasure to work with.

After a 2 day Final Cut Pro class with Diane I walked away with a clear understanding of the system and was comfortably navigating from basics to more difficult applications, I am well on my way. Thanks for your professional and enthusiastic attitude.
