what's going on?

This week I am taking time off from freelancing and researching and working on writing a business plan for my new venture (more on that later) to sink my teeth into learning Final Cut Pro. I’ve used the video editing software for the past few years while producing feature and documentary video pieces for The Washington Times, but until now my only real training in it was a couple of days at the Platypus Workshop, where they told us that “Final Cut Pro is such a complex piece of software that it makes Photoshop look like a Word document.”

So all this week I can be found sitting in Training Room A at Future Media Concepts in the Farragut corridor of the city.

My goal, after completing the course, is to sit for (and hopefully pass) the Apple Pro Certification Level 1 so that I will officially be an Apple Certified Pro in Final Cut Pro.

Two days in and I’ve already almost completely filled my notepad with notes. Yikes!
