and streamlined its workflow and
now edits all the content in house,
at its Hollywood based facility,
using Apple’s Final Cut Pro X and
Marquis’ X2pro Audio Convert for

Highway, the core technology
employed by Marquis’ media
integration products to integrate
Final Cut Pro X into professional

audio workflows, delivering
seamless integration between the

missing piece that allowed us to work

referenced media, X2Pro will greatly
increase our efficiency in moving
from Final Cut Pro X to Pro Tools.”

professional features of media
referencing, trimming or detailed

be upgraded to the Professional
edition through an In-App
Purchase if required.
