About the course
This two-day course introduces participants to Final Cut Pro, and is designed specifically for those wishing to edit news and current affairs features. You will learn to perform a range of editing functions while familiarising yourself with FCP software and the broadcast news industry workflow.
Broadcast news editors work with deadlines that are the most demanding in the field. To help you meet those deadlines and learn to use Final Cut Pro at the same time, this course focuses on the essential features that you need to get your stories cut quickly without sacrificing quality.
Over the two days of the course you’ll get tips for efficient set up, customisation, and trimming techniques. You’ll learn the best methods for making audio adjustments, how to use common transitions and effects, splice in tight sound bites, cover narration with B-Roll footage, and prepare a story for delivery.
