This course is open to 5 active members from the picture editorial classification. Participants must be proficient in at least one editing system, and be comfortable using keyboard shortcuts for most common functions.

When you register, please indicate which platform(s) you are fluent on, and which platform(s) you’re interested in being able to switch to more easily. Since not everyone will have the same goals and requirements, instructor would need this information to help him plan the flow of the class and adapt the emphasis to your actual needs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The goal of this class is to take you from a solid understanding of one nonlinear editing platform to a new one -- aiming for cross-platform fluency. Keyboard customization is a major topic, and I will share some sample customizations for you to use. The class focuses on Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, but we will also compare FCPX and DaVinci NLE’s from time to time. The goal is to help increase your fluency cross platform.
