Since the early days of Final Cut Pro Bruce was a master of distribution. He knew everything there was to know about DVD and Blu-ray authoring. Several times over the years I called on Bruce for his knowledge, and he was always there to help and incredibly brilliant at problem solving.
Bruce was undoubtedly one of the greatest demo artists I have seen. The presentation below shows Bruce at his best at the Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet, San Francisco, January 2009.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Bruce several years ago – watch the interview below, in 4 separate parts. In this interview Bruce’s personality shines bright. This interview serves as a historical document of a moment in video history, with one of the great minds for understanding video distribution and encoding.
I regard Bruce Nazarian as a technical master, a visionary, a great guy and one of the long-time members of the video community. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
