Motion graphics files created in Apple Motion 5 can also be used in other editing systems.
Apple Motion 5 is a very inexpensive yet powerful motion graphics software and every Final Cut Pro video editor should have this skill.

Most trainees are doing basic editing proficiently after 2 or 3 training sessions.
However, this does require the trainee to practice using software between training sessions and for a certain amount of time afterward.
Our video editing training lessons cost $40.00 +HST per hour.
The overall cost of your training depends on how much you want to learn and how quickly you are learning.
This type of training is a great value since you don’t spend time learning things you won’t need to use to achieve your goals and even a video editing course over zoom could cost you thousands.

Sound editing is an integral part of video editing, and all professional editing software has fade controls, noise reduction, filters to enhance voice-overs, add reverb and more.
So, professional editing programs like Final Cut Pro or Premier Pro have all you need to create a podcast or a radio commercial.
Overall, we’ll teach you how to assemble and manipulate your video and sound, not just selecting your clips and cutting them together, but learning how to trim, slip, roll, overlay and overwrite your clips.
You’ll learn to navigate the track system and link and unlink audio in Premier, or effectively use the magnetic timeline in Final Cut, and get an understanding connected clips and secondary timelines in conjunction with the primary timeline.
We also teach how to use title templates, filters, generators, colour correction, how to adjust the speed of the video and audio as well as how to create deliverables for web-based platforms and broadcast and much more.

Depending on the editing tasks that you want to perform in the software of your choice, or to work collaboratively with others in the post-production process, you may want to purchase certain support programs to enable you to do editing tasks that the software does not perform natively.
These would be things like media management for your editing workflow, enhancing the quality of the video or enabling you to take an editing project from Final Cut Pro to Premier Pro.
There are also titles and effects that can be purchased to enhance an edit.
These are generally optional, and your trainer will let you know if any of these options may be of value to you when discussing your editing goals and your learning path.
