Specialty Software Applications and Peripherals

These applications and peripherals are requested and purchased by academic departments and/or faculty members for specific use in classes or other academic pursuits. They may not be available on all computers and may be removed if the requesting department no longer needs them.

Primary support for each application and peripheral is provided by the instructor(s) who requested it. Support by SCS consultants is limited to opening, saving, printing, and the information on the SCS website and on our UK Wiki pages. Questions should be directed to the appropriate instructor. Additional support is provided via electronic manuals accessible through each application's Help menu.

Users are welcome to ask the consultant on duty for assistance, but should recognize that s/he has not been trained on these applications and may not be able to adequately answer all questions or solve all problems.

• Adobe software other than Photoshop
• Apple Final Cut Pro suite, including Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and related applications
