There are still some places left on the Winter 2018 – Digital Studio Tools course at the University of Regina. This online class for both undergraduates and continuing education students is a great intro into the world of digital design, photographic retouching, illustration & painting.

CTCH211 – Digital Studio Tools (a Creative Technologies course in the Faculty of Media, Art & Performance)

This online studio course explores the creative opportunities available when working digitally in the areas of fine art, illustration and graphic design. Throughout this course students will work towards the production of a portfolio of digital works that will include digital painting, digital collage, vector illustrations, typography, layout design and photographic manipulations. Modules will include introductory and intermediate skills in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign as well as learning how to incorporate scanned artwork or photography into works for both print and screen.

Creative Technologies / Faculty of Media, Art & Performance

I will be in Nanaimo & Tofino from 2nd to 6th December and have some times available for one-to-one or small group in-house training sessions & support for Final Cut Pro X.

If this is something you are interested in and would like to find out more then then drop me an e-mail – design@benhalsall.com .

This is a great opportunity if you need support for your video project or would like a face-to-face introduction to Final Cut Pro X.

I can run workshops and training at an introductory or advanced level as well as

Availability:

Saturday 2nd December – Nanaimo (pm)
Sunday 3rd December – Nanaimo (am), Tofino (pm)
Monday 4th December – Tofino
Tuesday 5th December – Tofino
Wednesday 6th December – Tofino (am), Nanaimo (pm)

How much time do I need to book?

I normally recommend a 2 hour session as a minimum time for those looking to cover topics in Final Cut Pro X.

This is enough time to give a good overview of how to capture, edit and export and along with some free video resources that I will supply post-class, as well as a full video recording of the session, you will get great value from even a short amount of training.

Rates

$80/hr + taxes for groups of 1 to 3 people

When will I next be in Nanaimo or Victoria?

If these times don’t fit then don’t worry I regularly travel to Vancouver Island and am happy to schedule in some training time. Just get in touch and we can set something up.

Looking for something free to get you started?

If you are looking for some free online introductions (or would like to check out my teaching style before you book) then I have an extensive set of videos that will help you to get started with Final Cut Pro X on my YouTube channel or just by hitting play below.

 

The challenge here for me is keeping my intervals down. Trying to stick to only 10 seconds rest between anything but it can be tough!

Warm Up (1200m)

• 2 x 300 (  as 75 free, 25 choice)
• 3 x 100 IM kick.
• 4 x 75 (25 kick, 25 swim same stroke)

Main Set (1100m)

• 2 x 300 ( 100 pull, 100 pull with paddles, 100 swim – last 25m of each 100 fast)
• 3 x 100 IM
• 200 kick

In this easy to follow tutorial you will learn two methods of exporting a selection of your timeline in Apple’s Final Cut Pro X 10.3.

“Great video! I didn’t realize those files could be so large, or that I could delete them manually. I just went through about 30 old projects I had, deleted all the render files, & it freed up 1.1TB!”

“This tutorial was perfect! i got back just over 300gb from deleting those pesky render files and i turned off the automatic rendering.”

“Oh my god THANK YOU! I’ve been trying for weeks now to figure out how to free up space without deleting my work but I COULDNT! I even went to the apple store 3 times and THEY couldn’t figure it out :/ Thanks a lot!”

“Hi Benjamin, thank you so much for this video. This was one of the greatest and clearest tutorials I’ve seen ! 🙂 I just subscribed to your channel.”
