Those who took the plunge and bought Final Cut Pro X may want to know there’s a set of post-production workshops scheduled at IBC 2011 RAI Amsterdam, 8-13 September, hosted by Future Media Concepts (FMC), a premier digital media training organization.
Future Media Concepts and IBC will be offering Apple, Avid, and Adobe post-production workshops, the two groups have confirmed in a June 23 announcement.
FMC and IBC will be joining forces with the IBC Certified Training Programme which, this year will be offering two-day Final Cut workshops.
The sessions will include training for both Final Cut Studio (which includes Final Cut Pro version 7), and Final Cut Pro X (the newest version of Apple’s professional video editing software toolset).
Final Cut Pro X has been under heavy scrutiny for lacking a considerable amount of pro-level features, with many post-production experts calling it a blown-up iMovie.
According to those who are hosting and sponsoring these workshops, “the sessions are intended to support the career and technical goals of post-production professionals, and are designed to maximize their creativity and efficiency on the software.”
Well, this sounds like it’s just the right medicine for those who consider Final Cut Pro X unusable for pro-level editing. Surely, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Sessions will be taught by FMC-certified Instructors and they will culminate in an optional, one-hour certification test on either Friday, Sunday, or Monday, Future Media Concepts and IBC said.
Presenters include Jeff Greenberg, principal instructor, FMC; Robbie Carman, colorist and vice president, Amigo Media LLC; Abba Shapiro, writer/producer/director, Shapiro Video & Multimedia; Yossy Tessone, Apple and Avid certified instructor, FMC; Luisa Winters, certified Adobe instructor, FMC; and Sean Casella, Apple certified trainer and Adobe certified instructor, FMC.
