Video Editing and Compositing Course Description
Students in the Video Editing and Green Screen Compositing course will develop critical problem-solving and creative collaboration skills as they work on real-world projects. They learn how to plan shots, organize footage, and troubleshoot technical challenges while experimenting with different visual effects and transitions. By the end of the course, students gain confidence in turning raw recordings into captivating videos that communicate a message, tell a story, or engage an audience. These skills not only enhance their digital media portfolios but also provide a strong foundation for future studies and careers in filmmaking, video production, and multimedia content creation.
Body and face motion graphics using Metahumans allow creators to produce incredibly realistic digital characters that move, speak, and express emotion just like real people.
Semester A
By capturing facial expressions, body movements, and gestures, students can animate Metahuman characters with lifelike precision inside Unreal Engine. This technology bridges the gap between animation and live performance, giving students the power to bring digital actors to life for films, games, music videos, and immersive experiences. The process teaches essential skills in character rigging, performance capture, and animation workflows—skills used across today’s top studios.
Semester B
Using Metahumans also introduces students to the future of storytelling and digital media. With detailed facial controls, advanced skin textures, and natural human motion, Metahumans offer a professional-level toolset that empowers young creators to build cinematic scenes without expensive equipment or large crews. Students learn how to integrate their captured performances with virtual environments, camera movements, sound, and visual effects, resulting in polished digital productions. This skillset prepares them for rising careers in virtual production, VR/AR development, game design, animation, and beyond—giving them a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving digital world.
