About the Apple Final Cut Studio Color 1.5 Training Course
Start with the basics of colour balancing and correction and move on to the fine points of secondary grading and advanced effects trees. This course is designed for existing Final Cut Pro users who want to learn more about the colour correction and grading capabilities of Final Cut Studio.
Recommended skills for the Apple Final Cut Studio Color 101 Course
Basic knowledge of Mac OS X and a strong knowledge of Final Cut Pro 7 is advisable. Colourists who may have worked on alternative systems including Baselight, Quantel, Pogle and Film Master may find some of the information covered too basic but would however benefit from the interface and toolset overview. Color is becoming a major player in the UK production and post market and we are gaining lots of interest in our Color course offerings.
