Using Sync for Video in Develop

In her wonderful series of videos on Lightroom 4 Beta over at Adobe TV, Julieanne Kost talks about using presets to copy settings from a Jpeg to a Video.

It's also about resources, and for Lightroom users, it's a great resource. Twitter happens to be full of helpful folk that are active in the Lightroom community. From Adobe Community Professtionals, to Adobe staff, to people that [...]
