Want some hands-on time with
some of the latest tools for video editing, compositing and animation?
Then join one of the free, hands-on classes led by Apple Certified
Trainers at this year's BEA convention. In the Apple Hands-On
Classroom, a new feature in BEA's Technology Demonstration Room,
you'll get a chance to test drive the latest Apple and Mac based
tools, including:
o Final Cut Express
o Final Cut Pro
o DVD Studio Pro
o Shake
o Maya
You'll also learn how easy
it is to integrate these tools into your existing broadcast video
course curriculum. BEA conference attendees will be able to reserve
a space in a class the day the class is offered ONLY, and space
will be limited.

Hands-On Classroom Descriptions
o Introduction to Final
Cut Express
This class will provide a hands-on introduction to Final Cut Express,
Apple's newest non-linear video editing software. The session
will be focused on educators and show how the new Apple Pro Series
Final Cut Express course can be used in high school, college,
and university video classes. It will also compare Apple's two
pro digital video editing applications -- Final Cut Express and
Final Cut Pro -- while demonstrating the differences between the
two tools, helping educators choose the right video editing tool
for their curriculum.
No video editing experience
is necessary. Computer and Mac OS familiarity
recommended.
o Introduction to Final
Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro has created a paradigm shift in the worlds of video
and film post-production. In this hands-on class, students will
edit a 30-60 second video project. Content will include an overview
of the Final Cut NLE interface, keyboard navigation, marking in
and out points, insert and overwrite editing, transitions, and
titling. Students will also learn about using the internal audio
meters, setting audio levels, and keyframing audio to mix ambiance,
music, and voice tracks.
No video editing experience
is necessary. Computer and Mac OS familiarity recommended.
o Advanced Final Cut Pro
featuring Color Correction
In this fast paced hands-on
class, students work with Final Cut Pro's real-time color corrector
to fix improperly balanced video, learn to use and read Final
Cut Pro's internal waveform and vectorscope monitors to ensure
broadcast legal video, and create stylized looks -- including
the "Pleasantville look," a Black & White world
with strategic highlights of color. The class will cover advanced
titling techniques, how to create a
"film look," and how to make filter packs.
Prior Final Cut Pro experience
is required. The Introduction to Final Cut Pro class at BEA does
not qualify.
o From Creation To Delivery:
Using Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro Together
With Final Cut Pro 3 and DVD Studio Pro on your SuperDrive-equipped
Power Mac G4, you'll have a complete digital creation and delivery
system with unmatched features and unparalleled ease of use. This
combo-class focuses on the synergy between Apple Computer's Final
Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro applications. This hands-on class will
show how to create chapter and compression markers, alternate
audio tracks, and alternate video angles in Final Cut Pro. Students
will learn about MPEG 2 compression, creating Dolby Digital audio
tracks, adding DVD-ROM material, and the requirements for creating
graphics for broadcast. The class will then assemble a short DVD
project. Students will learn about multiplexing a final DVD and
then preparing it for large scale replication or one-off burning
it on their Mac.
No video editing experience
is necessary. Computer and Mac OS familiarity recommended.
o Compositing and 3D Animation
at Its Best: Shake and Maya on the Mac
Did you know that you can do powerful video compositing and 3D
animation on your Mac? In this hands-on class, participants will
learn the fundamental operations and interface of Shake and Maya
on the Mac. This session will show a number of features, including
rotoshape and paint tools, the curve editor, keying with the Primatte
and Keylight proprietary keyers, matchmoving, log/linear conversions,
retiming, combination keyer techniques, to name just a few.
Some experience with compositing
and animation is preferred.
