MC 350 Advanced File based Workflow, HD, 2K, 4K and Beyond

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of concepts, theories, standard practices, and relevant software technologies that best prepare students to meet the needs of effective post-production planning and implementation of advanced file-based workflow from HD to 4K and beyond.

Key concepts including color space, formats, frame rates, and compression encoding and metadata translation are informed and demystified in lecture presentations, applied and practiced by students in hands-on exercises.

Multiple industry standard manufacturer solutions including (Adobe, Apple, BlackMagic Design) will be employed in both demonstration and hands-on practice of roundtrip workflows. Primary instruction and discrete tools and workflows will be delivered on Avid Media Composer Ultimate.
