VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR FREE – MASTERCLASS

It’s now possible to set up and run a broadcast quality newsroom or production house using nothing but free software. We explore how and show you how to use the software too!

Learn how to set up a totally free, broadcast quality, video production workflow. Yes, not using pirated software, but free to download and use software that still gets regular updates and support!

Talk about free software and you’ll probably think of 28 day free trials that only work after entering your credit card details, or pirated software that doesn’t update, crashes regularly and was copied from some dodgy server somewhere (and with it, probably a virus or two).

But in this course we’ll look at the software solutions that really are completely free, cover the whole video production workflow chain and allow you to operate at broadcast quality. Sound too good to be true? Dive in and see for yourself.
