Just Business…

[Ronny Courtens] “When I asked the Head of Post-Production why, he said (quote): “Because our students find it very easy to learn. So we don’t have to spend much time explaining buttons and menus, and we can focus on what’s really important: teaching them the art of editing. Once they master this, they can easily learn any other NLE if their job would require this in the future.”

You would think so but I have seen many videos where FCPX user demonstrate the difference between FCPX and Premiere Pro and they try to edit in Premiere Pro like it is FCPX. I see this often and I think to myself “wow you are making things ten times harder than they should actually be”. Did they test out other NLE? I am not saying they should if the following below is true.

[Ronny Courtens] “Furthermore, all of the (over 100) tv and movie production companies associated with the school use FCP X. This makes it easy for us to get our graduation students internships at these companies. And most of these internships lead to them getting a first job.””

Obviously that make sense if the school has an internship where FCPX is used.

[Ronny Courtens] “I just got back from visiting the most renowned film school in Spain where each year 1800 students from Spain and from all over the world get their Masters Degree in Film&Television.”

They say standard Radio & TV will be a thing of the past in the USA. The UHF stations were supposed to be auctioned off for true 5G. I read a couple of articles about in the past. Will it actually happen or will something better come along?
