Hello. I'm Nils Osmar. This page has information about my software classes, which are held in Seattle, Washington. The classes meet on the University of Washington campus, about five minutes by freeway from downtown Seattle, and are sponsored by the ASUW (Associated Students University of Washington) Experimental College. My upcoming classesare listed below.

Video editing in Final Cut Pro
In this basic
introductory class, you'll learn how to use the popular software
program Final Cut Pro to scan in video footage from a camcorder
and assemble it into professional-looking movies. Course
covers basic principles, including the basics of editing; filters
and effects; titles; audio; split-screen and other simple special
effects; and exporting the finished video as a Quicktime movie. Total,
absolute beginners are welcome. Important notes:1) Final Cut Pro
runs only on Macintosh computers. So if you own a PC, it may not
be too helpful to you, unless you also have access to a Mac. 2)
This class is demonstration, not hands-on. That is, it's held
in a regular classroom, not a computer lab. (Students with Macintosh
laptops are welcome to bring them and work along with the exercises
if they like) (This course is available as private instruction
- see below)
