Alexís bio

Alex Gollner is a freelance editor based in London. As well as editing projects ranging from dramatic shorts to films for corporations and charities, he creates complex motion graphics sequences for large-scale live events.

In 2008 he discovered a bug in one of Final Cut Pro 6ís video effects. The bug that made it impossible for many international users to use scrolling text. Alex fixed the fault and uploaded a new version of the effect to the web. This was the first of many free Final Cut Pro plugins he's donated to the editing community since then, some of which have been used in network television productions and on feature films.
