NYC Evening Digital Editing Class

I’m starting the 3 month Evening Digital Editing class at the New York Film Academy on January 11, 2010. It runs 3 times a week until April 2, 2010. It’s a hands on class for Final Cut Pro 7… which is the most popular digital video editing software for professinoals. Of course there are other editing tools like Adobe Premier and Sony Vegas but I was told by someone at the NYFA that Final Cut was the only way to go if you wanted to be a professional. I actually own Premier CS3 and I found it a bit challenging to get started with although I’ve been using Photoshop professionally for 15 years.

So I’ll do blog posts on what we are studying and how I am making out. For now I have been using the onling stuff that comes with Final Cut Pro 7 and I bought the high end expensive subscription to Lynda.com for training videos. They are actually excellent vids if you can afford to subscribe to them.
