An Introduction to Media Composer and Post Production – NORTH WALES

May 17 @ 10:00 am - May 18 @ 5:00 pm

Free

This hands-on session will equip you with the entry-level skills needed to use Media Composer in a professional film and television environment. The course provides a strong foundation in one of the most widely used tools in TV and film, both in the UK and globally. Media Composer is the industry-standard editing suite, often paired with Nexis storage—a shared storage solution that facilitates seamless media and project sharing for multi-editor environments.

The training program is designed for editors familiar with other non-linear editing packages, new entrants who haven’t received guided support with Media Composer in a post-production setting, and editors with limited experience in shared storage environments who want an overview of collaborative project workflows.
