Hosted by: Josh Apter & Ari Feldman

Manhattan Edit Workshop’s Josh Apter and Apple Certified Trainer Ari Feldman have created one of the most informative and entertaining Apple FCP X training tutorials on the market today. No holds barred, Josh and Ari teach the ins-and-outs of FCP X with candid commentary about the radical changes - the good, the bad, and the ugly – with special focus on the immense potential offered in one of the industry’s most beloved editing applications.

"Its not the perfectly rehearsed robotic training people have been used to, this is a very educated guided tour of this new application with two of your buddies, it made the time fly, and I enjoyed the chemistry between these two, kudos for producing something so different."
Final Cut Pro Master and Technology Visionary, Evan Schechtman

The dynamic duo takes viewers on an informative journey, re-editing a DSLR short film originally done in FCP 7. Not your grandma’s training video, Josh and Ari take a “hanging out with your (really smart) friends” approach to teaching –they’ll show you how to clear the FCP X hurdles and learn to love the innovative features that are sure to shape the future of editing technology.

Classroom in a Cup also offers Virtual Office Hours! Josh and Ari have an open door policy for their students. They encourage questions and ask that you contact them HERE - just put “Class in a Cup” in the subject and fire away!
