Rather, it explores changes in the program as well as more advanced functionalities and how they can assist the professional user in enhancing efficiency or output.

Moreover, where differences exist in the application of techniques between the broadcast / film and game / interactive applications, the authors present careful analysis to assist readers in making the right choices for their technical work.
