Whether you want to make a documentary, a narrative or assemble scenes from home videos, digital non-linear editing provides you with a wide range of creative options. This class will be an intensive introduction to digital video editing and will cover capturing, beginning and intermediate editing techniques, use of effects and transitions, working with audio, creating titles and motion graphics, and outputting video projects. Plan to bring video footage, preferably in the mini-dv format, to the first class. For transferring footage to the computer, students will have access to mini-dv cameras, but are encouraged to bring their own. An understanding of the Macintosh operating system is required. Students may work on their projects outside of class in the ASUC computer lab, now featuring Apple G5 workstations.
