Apple Compressor is the audio and video encoding program included with Final Cut Studio. This class will explore the basics of encoding, format conversion (transcoding), and compression for such applications as making a DVD, preparing footage for web, or converting different video formats for editing and post-production. Topics covered will be basic program navigation, understanding some of the most common codecs, optical flow technology, and the many different output options that Compressor will give
you in your future projects. After taking this class, you'll know how to convert video between NTSC and PAL, maximize that quality of your web content, make high quality
slow-motion footage from regular video, burn customized DVD content, and more.
