Multicam shooting records an event using multiple cameras. Multicam editing allows us to see all those images at the same time as we edit the show. This allows us to quickly compare shots and pick the best one for our story. As cameras get less expensive and editing software gets more powerful, multicam shooting is becoming the norm, not the exception.

Media management is the focus this week. Here, we look at three new software tools that can help you keep track of all the elements that go into a project. Whether you edit using Adobe Premiere Pro CC or Apple Final Cut X, you’ll find tools here that can make you more efficient.

This week, host, Larry Jordan, demystifies storage and explains what you need to know to make the most of the storage you have.

If color is a mystery to you, or the only color tool you know is the automatic color corrector, then this presentation can change your life. Learn how the color tools work in Final Cut and you’ll never be embarrassed by your images again.

Masks are highly-versatile tools in Premiere Pro and the new auto-tracking tools make them almost indispensable.

Masks allow us to modify or hide portions of an image. While most often used in chroma (or green-screen) keys, masks have a wide variety of uses. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to use them in Apple Final Cut Pro X.

Blend modes allow us to add texture to text, change the look of clips, even create unusual and eye-catching effects. Blend modes exist in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion and virtually all other video and graphics editing applications. Larry Jordan shows how they work in this webinar.

Changing clip speed can create dramatic effects – from high-speed time-lapse to extreme slow motion. Final Cut Pro X provides a wide-variety of techniques to change the speed of a clip and this session shows you how.

Video compression makes our media files small enough that they can be stored and viewed on the web. Sounds easy – but it isn’t. This webinar covers the basics of compression, then shows how to compress files in Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor.

Green-screen effects, also called “chroma-key effects,” allow us to easily insert a foreground actor into a different background. But, exactly, HOW do you do this? This session starts by recording green-screen shots in the studio, then creating the finished effects in Apple Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

This is the bonus Q&A material for Webinar 189.
