Back to School...Year 2 : Episode 59

Episode 59 of Command Edit Podcast Back to school how to learn new applications

Oh man...so the benefit of batch recording episodes is that you always have one to put out even when you fall behind in recording. The downside is whatever the topic is may not be as timely as it was when you first covered it.

Thus, we present to you our Back to School episode that was originally recorded in early September. Listen to our previous post Episode 30 where we covered some of the best ways you can school yourself and give your skills a boost. Including a number of easy online resources as well as the traditional institutions that you can apply to in order to further your education.

We congratulate one of our listeners, Katie Green, who is currently kicking ass in her first semester in her broadcasting program at Conestoga.

There are a number of news updates that we discuss, including hot feature updates for Adobe CC 2015, determining whether GoPro's latest video is legit or sorcery, and BlackMagic continues to assimilate other software into itself by purchasing Ultimatte and Fairlight plugins.

Then just wait for it...because we discuss some news ways for you to add to your bag of editing tricks. When you first open a program that is completely foreign to you, where do you start? Nick has some insight from when he made the leap from After Effects to Nuke as a compositor.

A quick reminder that we're all having fun without you over in the Command+Edit FB Group. In there members are sharing their own tips and experiences in the edit bay, post fascinating screenshots of timelines and projects we're working on, and otherwise support each other in our quest to become ninja editors. Hop on over and join us! We're waiting for you.

In this episode we offer up many ways you can go back to school with your editing skills.

There are countless ways to up your game:

  • Webinars
  • Subscription services
  • Courses or online schools

Which are the right ones for you?

We break them all down for you here. Whichever way you'd prefer to learn more about the wizardry mysticism that is post-production, there's a way for you to do that from one of these options.

Some are paid. Some are delightfully free. But they will all help you gain a level in your career.

Enjoy!
