I began video production in 2006 as a weekend class taught by a education team out of Pensacola. The team of three gave us instruction in iMovie, camera and lighting. I was included in a breakout session with e lead instructor that felt I would be interested in learning another video editing software, final cut pro. I caught on quickly to his surprise and we continued the rest of the weekend. This will be the first time at Full Sail I have used and studied iMovie. Normally I use Final Cut since I am so comfortable with it. I am thinking this will be a great chance to learn it for future training. See the idea is that every Mac ships with the software so it will be easier to teach a beginner video editing class with it since there will be no additional expense to the students after the Mac buy. If the students wanted to move forward they can buy Final Cut.
This blog will focus on my comparison of the two editing suites and evaluation of how I can begin using iMovie more for edits that do not require the power of Final Cut. Lynda offers the exercise files for students to follow along during the training. I have downloaded the files and will be using them throughout the training. Since I have editing experience, some of the options will move faster than others however as mentioned, my main interest is to learn from the teaching style used.
