Aperture Training Now Available

2008-04-22T20:56:00.000-07:00

Just finished my Aperture Training DVD for the AUPN. Here is the description from apertureprofessional.com:

"This AUPN-created training DVD from our instructor and Apple Certified Master Trainer Jeffery Morse walks Aperture users through all the major features and functions of Aperture 2.

An extension of the AUPN Promo Training DVD sent to members, this DVD covers the whole application.

The DVD is nearly three-hours long, and covers everything from interface to export.
It's a fantastic companion DVD to either the Aperture Road Tour or Aperture Intensives, and it's a great training piece of students who can't get to our classes.

Web browser based, you can follow along at your own pace, go over materials and revisit topics at your leisure."

deepfield blog: Blue Sky's EXO 2.1

Following up on my previous post.
Loving the EXO 2.1!

Now I'm no audiophile, but these speakers take me right where I want to go. They are crisp, loud and very well designed. A great complement to my existing, fairly flat, monitoring system.

I'm recommending these to my clients from here on out.
Fortunately, they have a line that will satisfy even the most discriminating tastes.

"Jeff Morse provides a wealth of valuable information regarding the fundamentals of editing footage and the various ways of beginning the process.
