Film Video Media: Post-Production Emphasis, A.A.S.

The Colorado Film School helps prepare students to become great editors that find work. Traditionally, we teach the very latest in Adobe Creative Suite, Avid, and Final Cut Pro. We offer training in Sound Design with Pro Tools. Color Grading with DaVinci Resolve, Visual Effects with Nuke, as well as Animation & Motion Graphics with After Effects & Photoshop. Successful completion of our Post-Production Program following the Fall 2019 Semester will also include certification with the Avid Media Composer, the industry standard for video editing. Most importantly we give our editors the skills to adapt in the fast-paced, ever changing world of media.
