About Manhattan Edit Workshop’s Six Week Intensive Workshop: The post-production industry is highly competitive, and knowing the industry standards – Premiere Pro, After Effects and Avid Media Composer – is critical for success. MEWShop offers all of this in one comprehensive six-week course, the training that aspiring post-production professionals need in each of these editing applications, taught by certified instructors.
Beyond the creative and technical aspects of editing, a portion of the Six Week Intensive Workshop is focused on the best strategies to secure a job once the class ends. Students will draft cover letters and resumes, which will be refined over the span of the class, and also discuss with instructors about interview strategies and job applications, as well as how to appropriately set rates and find the right work for each graduate’s unique interests.
The Six Week Intensive will run both online and in person Monday - Friday from 10am EST - 6pm EST with an hour lunch.
In person students will be provided with an iMac workstation to use during class time. The workstation comes preloaded with programs and media for the course.
Online students will be provided with class media and projects prior to class start date. Lessons, screenings, and discussions will take place via Zoom.
