Whether you’re looking to make a video for friends and family, your small business, or just for fun, video editing helps make your final product look much more professional and polished. Learn the basic principles behind video editing using the widely popular cloud-based editor, CapCut. Designed to be a robust tool that can work either in a web browser or through a free Windows desktop program, users can upload video footage, splice clips together, create effects, add captions, include background music, and much more. During this class participants will use a variety of “stock footage” clips created by the instructor to create their own short montage. Strong mouse and keyboard skills are essential for this class. 
IN-PERSON: Deep Dive
Thursday, Apr. 25, 2 p.m.
Explore the capabilities and limitations of one of the most recognizable AI tools, ChatGPT, created by OpenAI. During this hands-on introductory class, participants will have the opportunity to experience real-time interactions with this generative artificial intelligence tool and review the results together as a group. At the end of the session, you will know how ChatGPT can be useful in your everyday life or work, as well as reasons why you should not always take what it says as fact. Please note this class will be exploring the free version of ChatGPT, model 3.5. This class will not be exploring features available only to ChatGPT Plus members.
