Larry Jordan

“By Martin Sitter

There's very few people in the software training industry that don't know Larry Jordan, myself included. I met Mr. Jordan a long long time ago in a tradeshow far, far away … we've traveled the circuit together for years!

Mr. Jordan has continuously amazed me with his dedication to helping people learn software. As an Apple-Certified Trainer in Digital Media, specializing in Final Cut Studio, Mr. Jordan combines his extensive production experience with his teaching skills to bring a wide-ranging, real-world perspective to his classes. He was one of the first four Apple-Certified trainers in the U.S. to receive credentials as an “Advanced level" Final Cut Pro instructor, and these skills are immediately present in his calm delivery of complex video editing topics.

As a veteran technical author, Mr. Jordan is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of "Edit Well," the rich-media newsletter for Final Cut Studio, published by Peachpit Press. He has also created and narrated hundreds of hours of online training for Lynda.com and is the author of five books on Final Cut Pro, published by Peachpit Press and Focal Press.

When he's not helping people learn software, Mr. Jordan is a producer, director, editor, consultant and trainer with over 25 years of video production and post-production experience. A member of both the Directors Guild of America and the Producers Guild of America, he is a post-production consultant to Los Angeles broadcast and production studios. In addition to his broadcast credits, Mr. Jordan is recognized as one of the Top 100 Corporate Producers in America and is frequently featured as a speaker at seminars and user groups around the U.S.

And most important of all, Mr. Jordan is a macProVideo.com presenter. We hope you enjoy his shows ...
