Program Description
You’ll not only learn about the tools needed for editing but also learn to determine when you should or shouldn’t use them. In the later courses we’ll cover the color correction and sound mixing needed to make your videos look and sound the best they possibly can. We’ll cover After Effects CC, which you can use to add dynamic and engaging titles, making your videos stand apart from the crowd. By using dynamic linking we can do all of this without any extra rendering or exporting. We go in depth into how to find the right compression setting using Media Encoder to get you the right balance of file size vs quality, so your digital videos always look good.
