Course Description:

'' Boris FX 7 and Red 3GL
The one-day Boris Effects, Filters and Compositing Course explores the compositing and filters tools used in Boris FX 7and RED3GL. RED is a 3D compositing, title animation, and special effects plug-in for non-linear editing systems. FX is the industry standard for integrated effects creation, featuring 3D compositing, keying, advanced color manipulation, DVE and Particles. RED includes all the features of FX and adds functionality including2D/3D title effects and animation, vector paint and rotoscoping, motion tracking and image stabilization, time filters and the ability to import Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files with layers. Both products work as a plug-in application for non-linear editing systems including Avid, Media 100, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. FX and RED share a common user interface. Any features that are RED-only are noted in the Student Guide. For comprehensive training, RED users would also want to take the Boris Text and Title Animation Course.

Presentation Method
Students will become familiar with the user interface through a combination of instructor-led discussion and in-class exercises. Hands-on exercises let students create effects to achieve real-world results. Class size is limited to six people. During hands-on practice there are no more than two students per machine.

Student Materials
Student materials contain information necessary for the class, including the Student Guide, and supplemental reference materials as well as a Training CD containing all the media required to complete the exercises. Students can continue the exercises at home, using the Boris KeyFramer that is included on the CD. The Boris KeyFramer is a standalone application designed to create Boris effects offline using any computer. The KeyFramer can be duplicated and distributed free of charge. The KeyFramer is a cross-platform application. Actual effect rendering requires a host application with the Boris plug-in installed.

Audience
This class is designed for an experienced nonlinear editor who wants to expand their effects creation capabilities by adding knowledge of a third-party plug-in to their skill set.

Prerequisites
This class requires proficiency with the Macintosh or Windows operating system. Students must have experience with at least one of the host NLEs (including Avid, Final Cut Pro, Media 100 and Premiere). Students editing experience must include some effects creation.
