Unit testing increases productivity and raises code quality. In this course, author Ron Lisle explains installation and effective use of unit testing tools and techniques for iOS projects, to ensure more stable, functional apps. An example application is provided to demonstrate testing and as the course progresses, developers are shown how to tackle the increasingly complex problems encountered when unit testing iOS development projects

In this course, author Ashley Kennedy illustrates how to correct color imbalances or create a specific mood in pre-edited video with the complete color correction workflow in Avid Media Composer. The first color correction stage demonstrates how to manually correct footage by white balancing, removing color cast, correcting flesh tones, and correcting luma and chroma values in both the HSL and Curves groups, and explores the Avid automatic color correction functions. The second color correction stage focuses on achieving shot-to-shot consistency with templates and color match controls. In the final stage, Ashley investigates more creative color treatments, such as applying a gritty or bleached look to the footage

This course demonstrates how to create a fast-paced sports video, for the home team or the pros, with the power and simplicity of the tools in Apple iMovie '11. Author Abba Shapiro illustrates how to use basic camera techniques and strategies when recording video and how to edit the footage together to create an entertaining highlights reel, using the built-in Sports theme in iMovie. Abba also shows how to reduce background or crowd noise and mix in audio interviews and music

This course shows how to create complex composites using mattes, keys and intraframe effects elements that allow editors and motion graphics artists to seamlessly combine and animate multiple layers of video content with Avid Media Composer. Avid Certified Instructor Ashley Kennedy demonstrates chroma-keying with SpectraMatte, creating shape masks with AniMatte, working with alpha channels using Matte Keys, and changing the color and/or characteristics of specific objects within the video frame using the Paint effect. The course includes real-world examples of how these tools can be used in a production setting

In this course, we’ll get a good basic knowledge of working with ShadowBox. We’ll look at several different ways to incorporate ShadowBox tools into our workflow. We’ll explore the multiple masking brushes and how they can help create our ShadowBox meshes. We’ll talk about techniques for drawing out those masks to create the kind of geometry you’re looking for.
