Diane Wright’s technical writing credentials are quite extensive and range from writing selected chapters for several video production books to the entire user’s guide for video editing equipment to preparing training courses then teaching them.  In addition to learning the various software products and writing about them, Diane also does her own photographs and illustrations.  She does her own digital photography and screen grabs, which are then formatted in Adobe Photoshop to add callouts or other graphic elements. One of Diane’s biggest clients is Weynand Training<\/a>, the leading professional film and television training organization used by all of the networks in Los Angeles. Following is a summary of Diane Wright’s technical writing credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
