Course Details

FCP7 is the Apple software of choice for professional editors. And there are lots and lots of places that offering training on it. 

What makes our course stand out is the fact that our tutors are all acclaimed, award-winning and current professional editors - working in film, television and commercials - and the fact that our course is as much about the editorial as the technical.

Knowing which buttons to push and how to use the interface is only the first step to editing; you also need to understand how to cut shots together, build sequences and tell a story - the craft of editing. 

Our course combines both elements - the how, and the why - of editing, which is why it's become the most popular desktop editing course of its kind for multi-skilling, professional programme-makers. 

The course is completely hands-on: so you learn by doing, working on rushes from actual broadcast programmes and commercials, at your own pace within a small, classroom environment.

Who's it For?

Producers, directors, APs, researchers and others looking to learn the FCP interface including shortcuts and better workflow management in order to edit rough cuts or taster tapes.

The course is also beneficial for those looking to improve their directing skills by acquiring a better understanding of how sequences are put together. 

Pre-requisites

None. Many participants have either sat in lots of edits or taught themselves (or been taught) rudimentary FCP, while others are complete novices. Our small class sizes means we can cater for all while giving everyone plenty of one-on-one.
