Final Cut Pro X training is a family affair for this team of Canadian YouTubers! #FCPX

Day 1 – Getting the Edit Flow Going!

What a great Day 1 of 2 teaching Final Cut Pro X here in Regina, Saskatchewan. My students today are the Mom and two siblings of one of Canada’s rising YouTube stars who are getting in on the editing act to help out with some epic channel growth over the past two years. It will be pretty hard not to persuade my kids that being a YouTube star is not a viable career path after teaching this class!

Break time at PATH Co-Work in Regina, Saskatchewan. MacBook Pros at the Ready for some epic Final Cut Pro X awesomeness!

We’ve covered a tonne of stuff today including everything from the editing basics through to working with type and video animation, synching audio and video and managing audio levels.

This group is not from Regina but if you would like to check out (or add your name) to my list of YouTubers in Saskatchewan check out this – List of YouTubers in Saskatchewan, Canada .

Day 2 – Colour Correction, Effects and Much More!

Day 2 will start with some effects, colour correction and hopefully some tips for me on how to grow a bigger YT audience!

Also, the venue at #PATHYQR is awesome! Such a great venue to teach with an awesome team.

    Where to digitize your old VHS to DVD or for upload to the internet in Regina #yqr #videohomesystem #sask

    I get asked about digitization a lot. Its not a service I offer but if you head over the Regina Public Library they have their very one Digitization Station where you can download your family movies and VHS videos and even film & negatives into a digital format.

    You can find out more about the service on their web-site – https://www.reginalibrary.ca/services/digitization-station .

    Arduino Workshop for Creative Technologies

    Occasionally I get asked to teach an Arduino workshop. I’m not a programmer (except hacks-a-dasically) and I’m not an electronics guru. My main coding platform of choice is Processing if I want to play and create but I guess therein lies the point. For those that want to experiment with open source platforms for programming and microcontrollers in a creative way then Arduino is amazing.

    In this workshop, we will work through one (or maybe two) blink exercises that will show how we can set up the wiring, identify the right resistors and upload the code to an Arduino to make a little bit of magic happen.

    The Steps – Setting Up the Arduino to Blink and LED

    **Record the steps you go through with photos and video on your phone cameras – this will be useful for your blog or your project work if you plan to use this in your final write-up**

    1. Collect one of the Arduino kit boxes to use in groups of 4 or 5.
    2. Download the Arduino software from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software .
    3. Get the items you need out of the kit. These are:
    4. Watch the video below that explains exactly how to wire up your Arduino. I will be floating around during class to help out when people get stuck and also to demonstrate some simple ways we can adapt the code.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b62p_Vi7_jc
    5. Once you have the blink test working you can adapt the code that you upload to the LED to make it blink at different intervals.
    6. Two LEDs – If you have everything working then try adding a second LED to the breadboard. This video explains how along with the code. You will need an extra cable, LED (any colour) and jumper cables.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oOvprXzXyI

    Other Arduino Resources

    Once you have completed the task explore the Arduino tutorials section.

    There are some excellent resources there along with a community of makers that makes the Arduino and other platforms like Processing so exciting for creators to work with.
