    Will I need to bring a computer or laptop to my lessons?

    It is highly recommended that you bring a laptop or tablet that will allow you to log in to our website (LMS) learning management system and use it to make notes on our learning platform.

    In short. No, it is not a absolute requirement.

    Although you could bring a laptop to your lessons that provide the capability to run Adobe Premiere Pro if you’re taking up a VFX, Graphics or Video Editing Course.

    All other courses are team activities with gear provided by Learn to Film.

    Generally, 16gb of ram is required for editing in HD. Provided that the video card and CPU aren’t too aged or underpowered, you should be able to follow along with the classes that require a computer.

    It is also recommended that you have the Adobe Creative Cloud software. It is a subscription based software package and includes all the software necessary to produce all media related to video production.

    Should you not want to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud, you can use their trial period during your study, by simply downloading the software the day before your course commences.

    Here is a good guideline for computer specifications to run Adobe Premiere Pro (editing software)

    CPU: Intel 6th Gen or newer CPU – or AMD equivalent
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) version 1809 or newer, macOS V10.13 or newer
    RAM: 16GB for HD editing, 32GB for 4K editing
    GPU: 4GB of GPU VRAM
    HDD: 8GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation – requires additional space (128GB SSD minimum recommendation) for media
    Monitor Resolution: 1920×1080 or greater
    Sound Card: ASIO Compatible (Windows), default (Mac)
    Internet: An internet connection is required to activate any of Adobe’s Creative Cloud products.

    Note: for updated minimum hardware requirements, visit the Adobe website.

    Will I be required to buy my own camera gear?

    Camera gear is not needed as we will provide equipment for you to handle and learn on.

    Should you already have a professional (or entry professional) camera, we do encourage that you bring it along if the particular course involves camera handling.

    What is Student Resources?

    Student Resources is an online hub where you can access lesson assets, complimentary resources, lesson review tools with instructors, frequently asked questions, access to grades and access to forums.
