David Webber follows up his FCP 101 with this class, going over his secrets & techniques for editing in Final Cut Pro.

This year, April showers are bringing back the Tipitina’s/Valcour Song Contest!
During the month of April, Co-Op members have THREE hours to record a song and submit it to Rachel, who in turn will turn all of the songs into Lucius, Joel & Phillip over at Valcour records. They will then select ONE song (it’s hard!) to receive $200 cash, a year membership to the Co-Op, and Artist of the Month over at Valcourrecords.com!!!! WHAT?! I know. And they are looking for ALL GENRES! Click here to get all the info. Must be a Co-Op member from Acadiana to enter.
