This Sunday, Lukas will be hosting a video editing workshop to help you get the most out of your Mac:
Video Editing For Beginners
We all take videos on on our compact or digital SLR cameras – but what to do with all these captured moments? Compiling a nice video memory of your last holiday or special occasion is easier then you think, when if you require the help from an expert, we used this Dubai based video editor. This workshop is for Apple users, as we will primarily discover how to use the Apple integrated program iMovie before having a look at more complex programs like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. The workshop will cover:
- Video format explanation
- Importing digital files
- Digitizing video material from DV tapes or other formats
- Basic editing
- Text effects
- Transition effects
- Exporting in different formats (HD, Web)
- Difference between Apple integrated programs and professional Programs.
- Tips on filming
When: Sunday, May 19th, 2:00 – 7:00 pm
Cost: 440 RMB, 400 for members.
