Getting Started with Final Cut Pro! FREE Course!

This course has been completed.

Editing film and video used to be a slog of cutting, pasting and keeping your fingers crossed. Digital has changed all that. Final Cut Pro is one of the premiere digital video editing programs and has been one of our most requested courses. We’re delighted to have Krk Nordenstrom aboard for our first 5 Week Final Cut Pro beginner-level series.

We can’t help you with script writing or directing actors (yet) but we can show you how to use Final Cut Pro to craft a film out of your raw footage. In these sessions Kirk will take you from setting up your project, to editing and structuring, adding transitions, titles and effects and finally outputting it to share with your waiting audience.

This course is our first test teaching Final Cut Pro in our worldwide classroom, if this first test goes well, we’ll be able to offer extended courses on this topic.

Purchase the Course Downloads

You can also purchase the complete 4-week course (plus overview) of downloadable files in HD and iPod resolutions, with exercise files, for $35 until Mar 19, 2010. After that, the price increases weekly up to $79.
