This session focuses on significantly improving the performance of our computer systems by integrating SSD storage without spending a lot of money. Plus, Larry provides an in-depth demo using AI to improve still and video image quality.
Sometimes, it’s the small things that drive us the most nuts. In this webinar, Larry Jordan answers operational and computer system questions that aren’t major, but often cause confusion when editing video.
How do you use AI to enhance the role of an editor, rather than replace them? In this extended demo, Larry Jordan showcases key AI features in Final Cut, Premiere and Resolve.
Apple updated Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor last week with significant new features. In this session, Larry Jordan illustrates some of the more interesting – and important – ones.
Last week, Adobe released the new 2021 versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Media Encoder, and the rest of their audio and video applications. In this session, host Larry Jordan takes a closer look at some of the key features in this release.
What better way to end the year than with a session that covers just about anything? Well, at least the things you are interested in! Host Larry Jordan organized this session into seven categories covering different aspects of Apple Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor.
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.
So, this week, we take a detailed look at working with stills inside Apple Final Cut Pro X. What you’ll discover is that the challenge with stills is not the editing, but the preparation and organization.
This morning – April 19, 2017 – Adobe announced and released their latest upgrades to the Creative Cloud suite of media software. In this webinar, hosted by Larry Jordan, discover what's new and how it works.
This is the final session in our 6-part look at Apple Motion 5.3. In this session, we explore 3D space inside the application, including 3D text, particles, reflections, lights, cameras and sets. Hosted by Larry Jordan.
Part 5 in our series on Apple Motion 5.3. This illustrates how to create effects in Motion that can be used and controlled in Apple Final Cut Pro X. Hosted by Larry Jordan.
Hosted by Larry Jordan, this session is part 4 in our 6-part series on using Apple Motion 5.3. This week, we look at particles, replicators and parameter behaviors.
This intermediate webinar is designed for any Premiere editor looking to improve their speed and knowledge of the software. Even experienced Premiere editors will pick up a trick or two.
Both Adobe Media Encoder (AME) and Apple Compressor recently underwent upgrades. In this week’s webinar, we compare the two software to see what’s new; along with a look at some advanced features that we have not covered in the past.
Apple released the latest version of Final Cut Pro X just a few days ago. So, this week, Larry Jordan, presents a webinar devoted to highlighting all the new features.
Up-resing is the process of converting lower resolution video into higher resolution. For example, converting SD video into HD, or HD into 4K. While there is no single, perfect way to convert SD to HD there are techniques you can use to make your conversion look as good as it can. This webinar explains everything you need to know.
Closed captions are intimidating! But, closed captions are also vital to understanding a movie for anyone who has trouble hearing or speaks a different language. In this detailed, step-by-step webinar, you'll learn what captions are; how to add, modify, and format captions in Adobe Premiere Pro CC; and then how to export your movie so it contains captions.
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 online training looks at advanced color correction features in Final Cut Pro X. There is a lot of power hidden under the surface of Final Cut’s color correction tools. This session will show you how to use them.
In this one-hour video training, host Larry Jordan, takes you deep into the world of 3D space using Motion 5.1. Building on the belief that the best effects are composed of simple steps that combine to create stunning visuals, Larry shows you the building blocks of 3D. In fact, he starts by showing how to achieve killer 3D looks without even using cameras, or lights, or sets.
In this one-hour online video training, watch host, Larry Jordan, explains what you need to know to edit multiple cameras successfully; starting with your hardware and storage. Then, in a series of detailed, step-by-step tutorials, Larry shows you how to build, modify, edit, and trim multicam clips. Plus, he also covers a series of little-known techniques on editing multi-channel audio, transitions and effects that can bring entirely new levels of power and flexibility to your edits.
Blend modes, which Final Cut Pro 7 called “composite modes,” combine images based upon their gray-scale or color values. Which sounds weird until you start to play with it. Think of blend modes as "sharing textures between images." What makes blend modes so exciting is that they are easy to apply, yet open up a world of creative possibilities. In this one-hour online training, join host, Larry Jordan, as he shows you how blend modes can take your effects to an entirely different level. You can use them to add texture to text, enhance images, or make images look totally surreal.
Join host, Larry Jordan, as he shows you how to improve the look of your text, starting with importing Photoshop graphics into Premiere, then creating simple titles, text on a curve, adding graphics, then more complex titles and templates. Then, Larry wraps up with presentation of what fonts to use, and which fonts to avoid, when creating text for video. These font tips alone are worth the entire webinar.
Join host, Larry Jordan, as he briefly reviews how to use the video scopes, then color grades three different dramatic scenes showing you techniques you can put to work immediately to catch the eye of the viewer. Along the way, you’ll also learn how to copy effects between clips, adjust color settings inside clips, change effects across a range of clips and use third-party plug-ins to do more than Final Cut can do by itself.
