This three-day class is designed for those who want to take advantage of the power and versatility of Apple's DVD Studio Pro for creating interactive DVD's. DVD Studio Pro allows you to create DVD discs that will play back on standard DVD players. This class covers creating still and motion menus, slide shows, and using Adobe Photoshop to create menu graphics. Encoding audio and video will be explained. Apple Final Cut Pro will be used to create chapter markers for easy navigation on the final DVD. Simple programming and using the built-in testing function and remote round out the class.

Included with the class is the DVDStudio Pro test (a $150 value) for Apple certification. You can take the test on one of our scheduled testing days, or schedule with the instructor if you can't make the scheduled testing day.
