About
ETHEREAL Base Course is the complete foundation for wedding filmmakers who are looking for guidance on the best basic shooting setup and a fast, repeatable editing workflow in Final Cut Pro. You’ll start with the essentials—mindset, investing in yourself, and the exact wedding setup Samuel uses—then dial in your camera settings with picture profiles for Sony & Canon and a breakdown of his real-world shooting style. From there, we move into the full post-production process: data management, editing from an SSD, building a new library, importing footage, project setup, and FCPX navigation + keyboard shortcuts to speed everything up. Finally, you’ll learn Samuel’s approach to color grading putting your ethereal LUTs to work to achieve the ethereal look, the plugins that make the biggest difference in editing and color grading, and the export settings he uses to deliver professional results.
