Video Editing Production, DP, writer

Made a Apple Developer by, Steve Jobs, and, a Microsoft Developer, by, Bill Gates in 1986, I am well versed, and, up-to-date on the latest video production techniques. Working with Apple, Adobe, Radius and Media-100, beta testing, and developing their initial, on-line video editing products for the US market, at a time, when desktop editing was in its infancy. I was first to place desktop edited video on Viacom for Media-100, which, earned it, a broadcast rating helping to propel sales skyward. At around the same time, I introduced, at a seminar, hosted at Laser Edit East, in New York City, showcasing CosaEffects•, a small independent company, who pioneered motion graphics software, to Adobe Computer, who, purchased the company, and, its two developers eventually created Adobe AfterEffects•; The rest is history. I’m dyslectic from birth.
