Advanced Video Encoding with Compressor
If you need to send your video to DVD, the Web, or mobile devices, then you’re going to have to compress it. Lucky for you Final Cut Studio includes Compressor, Apple’s solution for video encoding. Learn how to use Compressor to create MPEG-1, MPEG-4, and H.264 video for the Web, CD-ROM, or mobile devices, as well as how to create
outstanding MPEG-2 and H.264 video for DVD authoring. If you’re a DVD Studio Pro user, this session will also show you how to compress
AC-3 audio to maintain quality and save precious bandwidth.
Audience: For intermediate to advanced Compressor users.
Instructor: Brian Gary, CEO, Flying Chaucer Films, LLC.

Creative Titling for the Video Editor
Title design is one of the biggest challenges for a video editor - especially if you want something that doesn’t look canned. While Motion has some impressive behaviors for moving text, this session
will show you how to modify and create your own title animation to bring a new level of excitement to your title sequences. We will
also show you how to integrate your Motion titles with the other software in Final Cut Studio, and create custom templates to save your designs for future use.
Audience: For intermediate to advanced Motion users.
Instructor: Jim Kanter, Filmmaker, Training Director, Digital Film Institute

In-Depth: Advanced Final Cut Pro Project & Media Management
Your workflow may require you to work on the same project on different Final Cut Pro systems at different locations. What are your options for moving your media from site to site? Where should all your media go? Do you need to take everything? This session will cover consolidation, transcoding, and decomposing strategies to help you use your hard drive space more efficiently. In today’s stressful production environment of computer mishaps and tight deadlines, good practice of these techniques can serve as overall disaster prevention that may possibly save your next project.
Audience: For intermediate to advanced Final Cut Pro users.
