SUMMARY:Video Editing Basics\, A Hands On Practical Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Following our previous meeting\, where we ran out of time to get stuck into the editing itself\, this session gives members the chance to do exactly that. \n\n\n\nIf you want to get started with editing but feel more confused than confident once you open the software\, this workshop is a good place to begin. \n\n\n\nThis is a fully practical\, hands session\n\n\n\nThis is a fully practical\, hands on follow on session where members will be learning by actually editing. It is not a lecture and it is not a software demo that you simply sit and watch. The whole evening is built around getting stuck in\, trying things out\, and learning the basics with support from experienced members as you go. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will provide a set of simple clips for everyone to work with during the workshop\, so there is no need to bring your own footage. The aim is to help you get comfortable with the core editing process\, bringing clips in\, placing them on a timeline\, trimming them down\, putting them in order\, and turning raw material into a short finished sequence. \n\n\n\nIf you want to bring your own laptop\, your editing software must be installed before you arrive. We will not have time to install software during the workshop\, and internet access at the club is limited\, so please make sure everything is set up in advance. If you do not already have editing software\, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve is available as a free download and is an excellent place to start. \n\n\n\nWe will also have a small number of editing suites available for members who do not have a laptop to bring. These will be offered on a first come\, first served basis\, as numbers are limited. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is aimed at complete beginners\, as well as anyone who has tried editing before but still feels unsure about the basics. The focus is on doing\, not theory\, so by the end of the evening you should have a much clearer feel for how editing works and more confidence about taking footage and shaping it into something watchable. \n\n\n\nWhat To Bring\n\n\n\n\nYour laptop\, if you want to edit on your own machine\n\n\n\nEditing software already installed before the session\n\n\n\nA mouse\, if you have one\, as it usually makes editing easier\n\n\n\n\nI think the opening can be tightened even more if you want it to sound less explanatory and a bit more like an event listing. For example: \n\n\n\nFollowing our previous meeting\, where we ran out of time to get into the practical editing\, this follow on session is all about learning by doing. Members will work with a set of simple clips\, with experienced members on hand to help\, guide and answer questions as they go. \n\n\n\nThat opening is probably stronger for a club event page. \n\n\n\n\n\nNon-members welcome for the evening (first two nights free as our guests) Here is how to find us \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday 21st April 2026Time: 7:45 pm – 10:00 pm
