Description

This workshop builds on principles learned in our Intro class, delving into both the technical and aesthetic aspects of editing. Using real-world examples, students will discover optimal approaches to reality-based projects, such as documentary, news, social, and corporate videos.

Through instructor demonstrations and hands-on practice, we’ll discuss system optimization, project setup and organization, working with proxies, and AI-enhanced features such as text-based editing. Using keyframe techniques, students will perform simple animations using still photographs and graphics. We’ll also practice basic color correction for broadcast and streaming. All practice materials will be provided by the instructor.

Bring headphones or earbuds for lab time, plus either a USB-C hard drive or 32GB USB-C flash drive if you wish to back up course files. There is a lunch break each session.
