Manhattan Edit Workshop has classrooms in NYC.
Education and training in production and post production is a
lifelong pursuit. Students at colleges and universities often need
training to update them on the latest software and give them
real-world examples of what industry jobs demand. Some
students opt for in-depth training as a cost-effective alternative
to incurring more student debt. Newcomers and career-
changers look for training to lay the groundwork and teach
new skills. And professionals want to learn the latest software
releases and acquire new expertise as disciplines merge and
more tasks are required of them. Whether delivered in-person
at workshops and conferences or streamed online for the
ultimate in convenience, effective training is key to getting a
foot in the door and staying on top of industry changes.
MANHATTAN EDIT WORKSHOP
As its name suggests, Manhattan Edit Workshop (www.mewshop.
com) has classrooms in New York City and offers post production
workshops on-site in the Tri-State Area and all over the country for
newcomers, editors migrating to different platforms, and those seeking
continuing education in the field.
"We get a lot of people who are switching platforms — there's a big
shift now to [Adobe] Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer," says
Jason Banke, vice president of operations at Manhattan Edit Workshop.
