Test yourself
Could you do it on a set?
4 real situations, one for each thing this path teaches. It's optional practice, not pass or fail, and your answers stay on this device.
Next: do it for real
This path prepares you for AI tools Foundation.
Rules before tools, then AI in pre-production, the edit, VFX and clean-up, sound, generative video, and rights and disclosure. Optional practice task: one real clip through transcript search, clean-up and a mask, logged and labelled.
It's free and open in the pilot. Finish it to book a competency check, then a practical on our unit.
