Final Cut Pro For Cutting News Packages

We have been training news agencies since 2002 and understand the techniques that need to be taught to quickly and efficiently cut a news package. It seems that the trend is for news cameraman to be able to shoot a story, then immediately ingest the media and cut a package complete with track, titles and b roll on a MacBook Pro. The finished package is then satellited to the station and goes on air.

We have trained CBS NEWS, FOX NEWS CHANNEL and NY1 among others here in the New York City area and abroad. Since news agencies use different equipment, we can customize your training to incorporate the equipment being used such as the Sony XDCAM, Panasonic VariCam and others. We can also come to you onsite anywhere in the world. We can train 1 person or an entire news organization. So give us a call at 212-777-3222 and tell us what your training needs are so we can put together a cutomized Final Cut Pro training package for you.

“The FCP class was great. I learned more in that 3 hour window than 8 years of self teachings. Cant wait for the next class!”

"After more than a decade as an AVID editor, I was intimidated by the thought of jumping into Final Cut Pro. I don't recall a technical teacher who guaged the level of my knowledge and what I needed to learn in both the short and long term better than John. I recommend this class, not only to editors, but producers, camerapeople, and anyone else interesting in this powerful and growing editing system."

"I have worked in television news for years, but as a producer I usually leave the editing to the professionals. I finally decided to unlock the secrets of the process for myself. Armed with very little knowledge I signed up for a five-class series on FCP. The instructor was extremely patient, even when he had to repeat the same lesson. After going over the basics, he encouraged me to experiment, just to see what FCP could do. And he never lost his sense of humor. Very important. I now have the program at home, and once I get more proficient at it I would not hesitate to take more advanced classes."
