Broadcast Center offers several advanced courses that are separate from the regular curriculum. These courses are offered to working industry professionals as well as outstanding Broadcast Center students who have specific interests in the areas covered by the elective courses. Think of these elective courses as our version of Grad School.
Digital Video Editing

The student will get hands-on training and will learn to edit news stories and features, commercials, music videos, documentaries, interviews and long-form narrative projects (like TV shows and feature length films) using the latest state-of-the-art editing software.
The student will become proficient with professional cutting-edge editing and production solutions currently used in the industry and will learn the ins and outs of editing and post-production: cutting (editing), logging, titling and text animation, rendering, sound editing, video effects and filters, compositing (special effects, blue screen), color correction, DVD authoring, importing and exporting digital video to and from DV, DVD, and VHS.
