Digital Video on Location
Steve Martin, Owner, Ripple Training
Brian Gary, Producer/Director
Join Final Cut Studio master trainer Steve Martin of Ripple Training, and producer/director Brian Gary on a full day boot camp using Final Cut Studio 2 on your very own footage. Before the event, you’ll receive a script for a 30 second spot that you’ll shoot, capture to disk and then bring as a Final Cut Pro project to the seminar. During the session, Steve and Brian will critique the raw footage then show you how to muscle Final Cut Studio to not only edit the spot in Final Cut Pro, but fix problems from production and add prolevel content like Lower-Thirds, Motion Graphics and Music, by using Final Cut Pro, Motion and Soundtrack Pro. At the end of the session Steve and Brian will lead you through workflows that create an iPod compatible version of your spot and a DVD screener of the finished project using Compressor and DVD Studio Pro.
