Intro to Editing with Final Cut Pro

LOCATION: Moving Image Lab
DATES: Fridays, March 7-April 18 (NOTE: no class on Friday April 21)
TIME: 1-5PM
COST: $175 members/$250 non-members

We've prepared three hands-on exercises to help beginners become familiar with the aesthetics of editing and the software program Final Cut Pro. A “found footage” exercise will help novices become familiar with cutting, placing, and playfully arranging clips on the timeline. Editing a short documentary interview with cut-aways will give students an opportunity to interestingly shape meaning and message. The third exercise—editing a music video—offers students an opportunity to work on pacing and cutting to rhythm.

Private Tutorials

The CCA now offers private Digital Media Arts (DMA) tutorials in minimal/introductory uses of Final Cut Pro 5 and iPhoto. Instructional tutorials do not replicate our courses, and are project-specific. Please contact Martin Back, the Digital Media Arts Coordinator at ext. 22 for further information.

Costs for private tutorials are as follows: An initial $25 fee covers administrative costs for arrangement of tutorial between qualified staff and student. I ndividual tutorial sessions are billed at a $25/hour fee for the instructor, plus a $25/session DMA fee (maintenance of program software and equipment). For example, a three-hour session would require a payment of $100 ($75 for the artist-instructor and the $25 for the use of the DMA equipment and facility).
