Learn How to Use Avid Media Composer at NYFA
In this hands-on editing workshop in NYC and Los Angeles, students gain skills in the film industry’s leading editing software, Avid Media Composer, as they learn and practice the art of visual storytelling. Students also learn multiple theoretical editing approaches to help them rapidly gain experience in content, social media, and film editing.
Program DescriptionProgram Name: 12-Week Evening Avid Digital Editing Workshop
During the 12-Week Evening Digital Editing Workshop, students learn to edit with Avid Media Composer and study the theoretical and technical approaches to editing, rapidly building skills in making cuts, sound design, post-production workflow, basic effects, and media management. Throughout the course, students complete varying types of projects using footage provided in class.
The course meets three nights a week —Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—from 7-9:30 p.m. at our New York campus and from 7:15 to 9:45 p.m. in Los Angeles. Some classes may be held on Saturdays.
Due to the extensive experience that students gain during the course, it is an excellent fit for professionals interested in acquiring new skills or students considering a longer-term education in post-production. The workshop’s final week is dedicated to building a demo reel of all the projects created during the class.
NYFA is an Avid Learning Partner, a distinction that only 75 institutions of higher learning in the country currently hold. Students may opt to take the Avid User Certification exams, leading to becoming an Avid Certified User.
