As far as dates go, this digital editing workshop will be occuring in July on a Saturday. WHICH Saturday EXACTLY is still being nailed down. Depending on feedback, we might set up future editing boot camps. But for now, this is a one-time only deal. The hands-on workshops will answer these DSLR workflow questions:
2) How do I save my project?
3) Where are the project files stored?
4) How is transcoding handled?
5) What are the keyboard shortcuts for basic editing?
6) What are the image stabilization controls all about?
7) What is the magnetic timeline and how does it work?
8) Do I need to import the DCIM folder?
9) Is there a quality drop in Premiere?
10) How do I fade in and fade out, insert a title, pull a chroma key and adjust the black levels, tint, luminance and focus?
11) What export settings should I use?
One lucky attendee will win a raffle prize of $200 towards the purchase of either software!
We are very interested in feedback and questions from filmmakers. So please comment below, ask your questions and help us help you. Your input really is invaluable. Besides, it’s a lot easier than guessing what your questions are!
The class size will be limited to 20 students. We’ll either hold the workshop at EVS Studios in Glendale/Burbank, CA or at our headquarters (a few miles away) near Warner Bros Studios.
The three and a half hour Final Cut X Workshop is $149.(Refreshments and lunch will be served.)
