EDIUS training courses

Grass Valley EDIUS course outline (for a typical 2 day course):

This could be given on EDIUS 5 or EDIUS 6.

Day 1

This would complete the first days training and the trainee now should be able to do an edit from start to finish.

Day 2

Recap on day one and follow up any points raised. If the trainee thinks it would be beneficial then a quick hands-on capture and edit session of about 30 minutes may be included to refresh what was learned.

• Video Effects - Colour & image correction, slow motion including EDIUS time-remapping, the mask filter and its uses, the ProDAD image stabiliser and an introduction to Vitascene.. EDIUS “alpha channel” track would also be covered and we would explain how to make a picture in picture effect or selectively crop an image. 
• Audio Mixing and Effects - mixing audio levels, the uses of EDIUS’ mixer, EDIUS’s tools for cleaning up audio, how to get a 5.1 surround track on a disc using EDIUS.
• Titles - making simple titles with QuickTitler and quick ways of inserting these. 
• Any other business - We would encourage the trainees to ask questions during the day but if there are any “large” topics that need to be covered we would do so now.  If for example you need to consolidate projects, move from one machine to another, or export projects to After Effects, for example, these could be covered here.

We could compress this into a single day if needed but there would be less time for hands-on experience which is the best way to learn, and also some of the sections would be severely truncated or dropped.
