Chunkalized™ learning.
In our innovative, patent pending "chunkalized" step-by-step learning environment, each section is presented as a series of clear, easy-to-understand "learning chunks". You must verify that you comprehend and have completed each step and action in the process before your virtual instructor moves on.
Perfect quality.
We use proprietary production methods to deliver crisp, sharp, lossless quality visuals to your computer screen, unlike fuzzy, headache-causing VHS tapes and DVDs.
Hands-on training.
To master any software, you must do, not just watch. Ours is the best kind of hands-on training there is- guided by expert instructors, you build the tutorial projects yourself. There are always opportunities to take time and experiment so you are actually comprehending each tool and each action you're executing.
"In-context" learning.
Unlike other products that cover tools and concepts in a jumbled, unrelated order, each and every concept and action presented on this CD is in the context of completing a real world project. So, when working on your own projects, you'll immediately be able to put what you've learned to work.
Self-paced.
Learn at your own pace. Quickly move through sections you understand, make your virtual instructor go over difficult concepts as many times as you need without worrying about other students or the time limits of a class. You have total control.
Community Support.
No one should have to learn alone. Our "Ask a Question" button will allow you to post your question on the internet for thousands of others, including our own industry-leading instructors, to answer. You can ask questions, offer advice, and share tips in a collaborative, organized online environment on the very topic that you are currently learning.
Created by the top experts. The Final Cut Pro PowerStart CD course was created by DVcreators.net, a group who are chosen again and again by Apple and others as the world's top Final Cut Pro experts at the most important training events such as Apple's first-ever trade show classroom at NAB (along with Randy Ubillos, creator of Final Cut Pro). In fact, Apple has purchased thousands of PowerStarts to train their own people on Final Cut Pro. |

customer feedback on our self-paced learning products

“WOW!!! Your CD's are amazing. I also like the way the CD is cut up into chunks - makes it quite easy to review and review and review the same portion until it "sinks in" my head. Keep up the excellent work!!!!”
“2 MAJOR THUMBS UP on the FCP Powerstart CDs, if every tutorial was as good as that, we'd all be a bunch of geniuses... The content was jam packed with great information & the instructors were clever & funny which helps move the course along without becoming anything close to "work". I thoroughly enjoyed it!”
“Both products (Powerstart and Secrets) are everything they were advertised to be and more. Absolutely the best money I've spent on computer related products in years. You have definitely made a customer for life.”
“More Training CDs for FINAL CUT ... PLEASE!!! I have taken your Final Cut Class & your DV Revolution Class. I was so impressed that I purchased your "Secrets of..." CD & "PowerStart". Please produce another Secrets of Final Cut CD. I learned so quickly using this "chunkalized" learning style that I am craving another. After 15 years producing video, I can honestly say that I've never come across anything as effective as your training CDs. True. Fact. Period. I continue to refer others to your company for site training & CDs. Way to go.”
“FCP POWERSTART: What can I say? Incredibly good product. Makes dust out of [competitive product name deleted]. ...If this doesn't teach you FCP nothing will!”
“I've used the Powerstart CD and after using FCP for
the last 2 years, I learned more in the 2 days of using the CD than I have
the entire time I've used FCP! And, new projects I work on take about 1/3
the time than before thanks to all I've learned. Fantastic stuff.”
Eric, Singapore
“For those of us who learn best by hands-on practice, this is a tremendous product. I especially appreciate the sense of humor.”
Jason Knapp, Anderson University, Anderson IN
“Just a note to let you know how excellent I think your "Powerstart" CD is. I am almost done with the nesting lesson and am enjoying the whole learning experience so much!!!”
Steve Alterman Santa Clarita, CA
“I must add my name to your list of happy customers. I love learning on my own time schedule, in the privacy of my own home, able to 'rehear' the instructions as many times as I need... until I get it. To my SHOCK, I was editing in FCP the very next day [after receiving the Final Cut Pro PowerStart course]... I hear new things each time thru. THANKS so much!”
“I LOVE LOVE POWERSTART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT NOT ONLY GOT ME STARTED, IT'S GOT ME REALLY ROLLING FORWARD :)
YES I'M YELLING...IM HAPPY WITH YOUR PRODUCT”
RANDY STRATHMANN DEVOTED CUSTOMER
“Hi, my name is Ato Anderson, a proud owner of "Secrets of Final Cut Pro" and "PowerStart 2"... ...I say DV Creators God bless you and God Bless America. Now, with your help, Final Cut Pro is on my fingertips. I can't wait to see your next "Secrets"...”
Thank you, DV Creators.
Ato Anderson LONDON ENGLAND
“I've been using your powerstart cd for FCP 3 and find the method of training excellent for a short-attention span person such as myself. Not to mention the fact that I needed to "unlearn" my previous editing method/style with my old system.
Once I've got a hand on the program I very much look forward to attending one of your programs in California for FCP, Studio Pro and Digital classes...”
Neftali Cano, El Paso, TX
“BTW, just want to tell you how awesome this tutorial package is. You guys have done an excellent job. I'm an old TV news photog (who was there during the transition from film to video..when the video was as linear as film) returning to the video production business after years of just producing....and trying to get caught up on the new technology. If my wife hears me say, "Ohmygosh, this is amazing!" one more time, she says she'll scream. The capabilities of FCP3 are truly unbelievable...and you guys are a huge help getting me started. If you ever need anyone to endorse your product...just give me a call.”
Thanks!!
Dennis Scheminske
“It was well worth waiting for. You guys did a wonderful job on this one.”
An excerpt from Ken Stone's review:
“Each and every step is demonstrated and explained in full detail as it is done on screen. Little tips and basic keyboard shortcuts are included for improved work flow. The entire process of assembling a movie is quite clear and actually fun to work through. Having the ability to go back and review previous chunks means that you can learn at a pace that is comfortable for you.”
