Videomaker has a helpful web site and magazine chock full of video editing tips and new product reviews; they are nice enough to condense all the latest news into a handy weekly email – one of the few “marketing” emails I actually look forward to. Unfortunately they also occasionally send out flyers for training events I can’t attend (I haven’t been near Chico, CA lately). But I guess they are now launching a web training series, or “webinars” on a variety of topics. They are charg $29.95 for an hour-long session and I’d be curious to hear what others think of it. Here’s what they sent me:
Videomaker is proud to announce its first training webinar: Advanced Editing

Apparently it will a series of rotating / repeating topics. If I give a try, I’ll let you know what I think.
