Video Editing Classes in LA?

[Jerry Hofmann]

Might look into the community college system near you… usually can find inexpensive classes there… otherwise the best training is probably done in an Apple Certified training center of which there are many in LA. The list is found on Apple’s site in the Final Cut Studio area… click on “additional recourses” in the FCP page.

I have searched Santa Monica college’s on line class schedule and could not find any Final Cut or any video editing class listings or info. Is there any more info you can provide or if I was to go on campus, would I likely find some on what I have been unable to find on line. If anyone with any info on SMC or any LA community college with any offerings on Final Cut or any video editing classes, could you give a shout.
