follows Julia Roberts's character as she travels the world in search of love and inner balance. The film was shot entirely on location over a four-and-a-half month rolling production effort, and first-time feature film editor Bradley Buecker was given the daunting task of assembling and shaping the film's vast amounts of raw footage.

Buecker details how using a Final Cut Pro-based editorial workflow helped maximize efficiency in an editing environment where long distance shooting imposed major time constraints on the editing team. He cites Apple's latest ProRes codec as "the foundation of our workflow," and Final Cut's new background exporting feature "saved us many times." Soundtrack Pro was also put into use in the early editing process, and Compressor was used to convert footage to QuickTime movies for the sound and music departments.

This isn't the first time Final Cut Pro has been used to edit a feature film--the Coen brothers's was to win the Best Picture Oscar. Since then, major studios have turned to Apple's flagship film production software to edit numerous feature films.
