This class is designed for those who have mastered basic editing skills and want to get more out of Final Cut Pro. This class focuses on effects and graphics, as well as some advanced editing techniques. This is not an editing class, but a class designed to get you past editing and using many of Final Cut Pro's more advanced effects. In particular, working with keyframes for motion and filter effects is emphasized. Students also work with lots of layered sequences, create motion and filter favorites, and get a better understanding of layering and composting with Final Cut Pro.
Classes are taught using Apple's Authorized Curriculum and Instructors to ensure the highest level of professionalism in digital video technology. Class size is limited to ten participants.
Included with the class is the Final Cut Pro X 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.

what students say:
- Tony Huet made the class more than a book and exercise experience. Very enjoyable, great interaction, fluid presentation skills and moderated the time efficiently.
- Excellent instructor. The course was well-designed and effectively presented. I would recommend this course to others.
- I enjoyed the hands-on aspect of this course. The instructor made it challenging and was able to make it clear to those, like me, who had little or no experience in this. Yet, it was still applicable to others who had much more experience.
