It’s great to have options other than subscription services (I’m looking at you, Adobe Creative Cloud) that allow people learning about video and audio post-production to have a much lower cost to get real tools in their hands so they can start creating.
The usual gang of Steve, Mark, Mike and Alex is getting together at the PixelCorps studios for another Final Cut Pro virtual user group meeting, this time joined by Noah Kadner from FCPWORKS.
The livestream starts at 2pm, but you can submit your questions in advance.
