FAQ’s:

How long does the class take?
Our editing Class is 6 hours, divided into 2, 3 hour sessions

What do I need to bring with me?

You will need a laptop computer with either Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, or Windows for Mac.  Your computer must have a disc drive to download the software.  And finally, although you can do without a mouse, you will find many advantages by  using a mouse with this program.

You will also need a copy of Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Edition. We will provide this software for you with your registration.  If you already have this software, or would rather buy it elsewhere, ask us about a class discount.

Do I need to bring my video camera to the class?

You can if you want to, but the training on uploading video to your computer will be done by our instructor for training purposes only.  We will be providing you with a disc of video files that you can copy to your hard drive for the training on editing.

What are the minimum power requirements for my laptop computer?
Let’s face it.  Video does take up a lot of hard drive space and consumes a lot of power to run smoothly on your computer.  But any laptop that you have bought in the last 3 or 4 years should be able to handle the small files we will be using.  You should have at least a few gigs of free space on your hard drive.  If you are planning to buy a new computer in the near future, I would suggest a dual processor, 4 gigs of Ram, and at least 250 gigs of hard drive space.

Do you guarantee your class?
We do guarantee to teach the basic skills (and a few advanced skills) to be able to take your video from your camera, know how to get it onto your computer, manipulate it in your own creative way, turn it into the file of your choice and get it up on the web or create a DVD.  But, we can not guarantee your creative ability when it comes to editing, or the content of your video.

Will we learn how to shoot professional video?

No, this class is on editing video, not shooting video.  There will be times during the class, that we will naturally throw out tips on shooting quality video, as it relates to shooting the right footage to edit with, but lessons on shooting video is not part of the training.
