INTRO TO FINAL CUT PRO FOR LAPTOPS

LEARN THE CORE BASICS OF FINAL CUT PRO USING YOUR OWN LAPTOP, SOFTWARE + FOOTAGE

In this 2-day workshop students will learn capturing, basic editing, titling and effects, as well as outputting options for tape and DVD. Featuring a mix of seminar, hands-on training and practice time, this workshop will give students plenty of opportunity to take notes and hone their new skills. Great for the first time user or the self taught FCP editor looking to improve their techniques.

This class is especially for filmmakers who use laptops. Participants will meet at Cineworks with their FCP-equipped laptops and all work will be carried out on your own computer, editing your own footage.

Optional recommended additional materials if you would like to edit your own footage:
• Your own footage to capture from and edit with
• A firewire camera or deck to capture your footage
• A firewire or USB external hard drive to store your captured footage (you will only be able to store a limited amount of footage on your laptop’s internal hard drive)
