In my country, Apple Mac's are very expensive, and hard to come by. It's all about PCs where I come from. Now the NY Film School is doing dome training programme for folks in Nigeria, and I have chosen to take training in Video Editing. The problem is the training will be done on the Final Cut Pro software which requires the use of Macs. So my fear is that at the end of the training, if I don't have a Mac, I would need to continue my training with some other software, like Adobe Premiere. So my question now is, are the differences in FCP and AP so much that I shouldn't bother with Final Cut Pro at all???

Like hpx170 for Super Dummies?Â Maybe I could find a film student to show me how? composite1 on "Good Example of a DIY Video...." http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/good-example-of-a-diy-video#post-56399 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:48:57 +0000 composite1 56399@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ In the forums we get lots of questions on how to do something from shooting to post work. Often videos depicting the process of doing said thing are posted to help illustrate answers. It is not uncommon though that many of those training videos lack key elements which make a DIY video both informative and interesting. <ul> <li>Multiple views including; close-ups and angle changes</li> <li>Adequate lighting on subject</li> <li>Text to back up spoken points</li> </ul> Though there are no spoken words in the DIY video "How to Create Super Macro Lens" by Lozzless, there was a good deal of thought and effort put into this. Though far from perfect, it's a pretty good example of how to put together elements for your training videos. Note: I by no means endorse the methods used in the video for modifying a camera lens, just the way the video was put together. <a href="http://vimeo.com/9965886">How to create SuperMacro lens (??? ??????? ?????????? ????????)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3055913">lozzless</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>. pzv on "Training Video" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/training-video#post-55090 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:40:26 +0000 pzv 55090@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hi there, I have to create a training video whihc will have an actor speaking about the course, then goes and comes the screen simulations and this continues. What will the best approach for making such things? Do we author it on dvd? Screen simulations are screenshots of softwares made from Camtasia or Adobe Captivate. What should be done to retain the readability of software screens?

My company is looking to set up a video studio. Nothing crazy but to use a storage room to film incoming executives for training videos-talking heads mainly. What type of equipment would we need? Around how much would it cost? And does anyone have recommendations for products? I loved to know EVERYTHING we might need--from makeup brushes to lighting. Also, we would like it if we could take the camera and lighting out to conventions. We would send staff to learn to film and one of our staff members already edits video on her mac laptop using Final Cut or imovie for simple edits. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

I am in Georgia and i know of two schools Ga State and Chattahoche Tech... I am not "stuck" in GA i really want to get out of here i am young no children nothing holding me back and i will go as far as canada for the best/least expensive training... Can you suggest some great schools? I would prefer not to do a 4 year program or a 2 year that requires general coursework... thank you so much :) bowhunter on "Software Training or Workshop." http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/software-training-or-workshop#post-46586 Fri, 08 May 2009 08:10:58 +0000 bowhunter 46586@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I'm new to the video editing world and was wondering if anyone knows if there is any software training or workshops for Sony Vegas Pro 8?
