We teach Final Cut Pro 6- latest version!
Final Cut Pro 6 is fairly intuitive editing software that can be used to cut anything from consumer DV to uncompressed High Definition. Through a set of simple editing exercises you will become comfortable with standard editing techinques using Final Cut Pro. By the end of this class you will have a basic understanding of non-linear editing, and video editing, and be able to :
Set up a basic computer editing station. Capture video and audio onto your computer. Efficiently organize your captured media. Insert and arrange audio and video clips to create a show, and then add simple simple transitions. Output your show to tape or video file.
Our primary focus is gaining competency and comfort with basic nonlinear editing techniques and vocabulary as they apply to cutting in Final Cut Pro.

Great beginner's class--one weekend and you've got the basics to get you on
the ground running. Hand's on exercises coupled with additional lab time guarantee
to get you started on your first real movie.
-Tacey Miller (Xbox Videogame Program Manager, Microsoft Game Studios)
I began the class barely knowing how to turn on a Mac. By the end of the
second class, I knew how to capture and log film, edit video, and create
titles. In short, I could make my own movie now! I can't believe how simple
the instructor made it ... and now I'm hooked.
-Joanna Gregson, Ph.D. (Sociology Professor)
I walked into the Final Cut Pro class knowing almost nothing about editing. By the end
of the workshop I knew enough to assemble a very good rough cut of a documentary I am
working on. The instructor was great and all the basics were covered in both theory and
practice. It was particularly helpful to have the hands on demos and lab time included
with the class.
