Final Cut Pro Training
An Overview of Final Cut Pro
This bespoke introduction to Final Cut Pro is one of the most popular courses I offer. Tailored to your specific requirements, this training can be run over one day to give you a general overview and feel for Final Cut Pro, or over two days for a more in-depth look at working with the software.
In this training we'll explore how to work with Libraries, Events and Keyword Collections, how you can quickly edit material together into effective projects and enhance them with a range of flexible effects and titles, before looking at the options for sharing your work.
Supplemented with practical, real-world examples of my own editing work, this training will get you up to speed with using Final Cut Pro quickly and cost-effectively.
All training comes with my unlimited after-training support guarantee.
