Course overview

If you've used Windows Movie Maker or Apple iMovie, you'll know how limited ... and limiting ... consumer-end video editors are.  Fine for simple home videos but lacking the functionality and flexibility to create videos to a professional standard.  Top-end editors such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere have all the tools you need to make great professional-looking videos, and yet they are prohibitively expensive.

In this intensive one-day introduction to non-linear video editing you will learn the basic skills you need to create professional videos using the free but immensely powerful feature-rich Kdenlive editor.

Who is this course for?

If you are a hobbyist wanting to make better videos, a small company wanting to create professional-looking promotional videos for your business, a student working on a media project, or indeed anyone with the ambition of taking video editing to the next level, then this course is ideal for you.

Please note that this course will not cover the actual filming.
