Power Up with Final Cut Studio


Seminar 1:
Succeeding in the New World of Tapeless & HD Video

The old days of recording standard-def images to video tape are quickly disappearing. Today, we are facing a bewildering array of video formats, acquisition technology, storage devices, and workflows which seem to change on an hourly basis. This four-hour session will help you succeed in this new world.

While the first half of this session looks at HD, the second half is designed for all video formats and editors who want to get better organized, improve their trouble-shooting, and safely backup the right data.

Designed for the new or experienced editor looking to move into HD or tapeless (such as P2 or SxS cards or Firestore drives) video, this seminar covers the following topics:

    • Selecting the best HD format for you
    • Picking, and future-proofing, hardware without wasting money
    • Creating workflows that work in the real-world
    • Working with ProRes and other formats

    • Organizing and optimzing your files for editing
    • Creating an archive system that works
    • What you need to know about Final Cut Server
    • Trouble-shooting your system

Questions and answers - as always. Our goal is for you to go home with your brain full and your questions answered.

Note: In select cities, we will offer a repeat session of Seminar 1 later in the day. If available, it will be listed as Seminar 1B. Click here to see seminar options by city.

Seminar 2:
Integrating Adobe Products into a Final Cut Workflow

Most editing projects require a variety of tools. While Final Cut Studio provides the core technology, most editors use a variety of other software to get jobs done. This four-hour session showcases how to use powerful, but little-known features in Adobe software to do what can't be done in Final Cut itself. Designed for Final Cut editors that want to be more productive, improve the quality of their projects, or just discover new techniques they can use to stand out from the competition, this seminar covers the following topics:

    • Round-tripping between Final Cut Studio and Adobe
    • Cleaning up video images in Photoshop
    • Creating Blu-ray DVDs with Encore
    • When to use Soundbooth and when to use Soundtrack Pro
    • Creating media for Flash
    • Creating new stuff in After Effects for the design-challenged
    • Working with Windows media files

Questions and answers - bring some good ones.

Seminar 3:
Discover the Hidden Power in Final Cut Studio

Final Cut Studio contains seven different applications - many of which go under-used. In this eight-hour session, you'll discover ways these programs can really simplify your editing by creating better projects, faster, than you can in Final Cut Pro itself.

The best way to improve the quality of your picture is to improve your sound and Soundtrack Pro is a great choice. Learn how to repair audio, handle changes via automated conforming, mix and monitor stereo and surround sound, and harness the power of audio filters.

Digital downloads and Blu-ray DVDs are the future. Which means that all your projects will require compression. Discover how to use Compressor and Encore to prep projects for DVD, Blu-ray DVD, Flash, and the web. Learn what settings work and how to automate your workflow.

This eight-hour seminar is designed for the experienced editor looking to make the most of their tools and it covers the following topics:

    Soundtrack Pro
    • Audio repair
    • Sound design
    • Mixing
    • Filters
    • Conforming
    • Figuring out the best audio levels
    Compression
    • Understanding the differences between Compressor and Encore
    • Compressing for SD DVD
    • Compressing for Blu-ray
    • Compressing for Flash
    • Improving compression for the web
    • When to use progressive versus streaming video
    • Automating compression
    • Transcoding from HD to SD
    • Changing frame rates and image sizes
