🧑‍🏫 My Course on Video Production: techtalkamerica.thinkific.com
The goal of this course is to teach small business owners how they can use their iPhones to create a commercial. You are watching chapter 10, but in chapter 12, I am going to teach you how to upload your video to KZbin, pair it with Google Ads, and make it so that when people watch KZbin videos in your local community, they will see your commercial as the ad that plays before other videos.

This course is GOLD. Thank you David. After 25 years as a still photographer, I am trying to learn FCP and looked up “FCP Color Correction” and this video appeared. It led me to your stellar FCP class and I just finished the 12 chapters. You explained everything from start to finish on how to create a sensational video. I purchased another video class with didn’t even teach me HOW to edit my video. After your course, I now have all the foundations of FCP and video editing and I feel very confident that I will continue to add on to that knowledge. Thank you 1000x :))
