Final Cut Pro Class

This amazing 4 Day Final Cut Studio class will teach you a contemporary workflow.  This includes learning how to integrate Apple Motion, SoundTrack Pro and Compressor.

We teach the practical stuff, and we don't teach from a book!  We use our courseware as a reference guide. You can read some unsolicited reviews of customers who have purchased our Final Cut Pro portable Genius courseware. 

Course Times: 9am-5pm (M-TH)

We take great pride when a student tells us that GeniusDV made the material easy to understand. We typically hear the comment 'I have learned more before lunch on the first day than in months of learning the software on my own'.
