Susanne Kraft supports and maintains numerous computer non-linear AVID, ProTools and Final Cut Pro editing workstations that range in complexity from low end digital video firewire seats to high end uncompressed High Definition workstations. She also supervises and maintains the Studio 4B lab that encompasses multi-platform workstations hosting a wide range of application suites such as Final Cut Pro Studio 2, AVID, ProTools, Adobe CS3 Production Premium, XSI, 3D Studio Max and Entertainment Partners Budgeting/Scheduling.
Susanne graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA degree in Art History and a BS in Radio Television and Film in 1990. She worked for 11 years at a local high-end post-production studio called 501 Post. There she learned all the facets of Video Post-Production and was a commercial AVID non-linear editor there for the last half of her tenure. In 2001 she started working for the Radio-TV-Film department and the rest is history. She enjoys assisting students with the technical problems and teaching basic and complex workflows in post-production. She tries to relieve student stress by simplifying complex things so they can concentrate on the creative process.
Susanne likes animals, especially cats. She’s interested in real estate, unless she has to do any remodeling herself. Among her few dislikes: bad traffic and shellfish.
