Overview
This Motion Picture Engineering - Micro-credential course at Trinity College Dublin suits engineers in a start up in the video streaming space or designing image enhancement technology as well as those embarking on a graduate degree in Video Engineering. If you have just joined a post-production house or start up as an early stage graduate this course is an excellent onboarding strategy.
How will this Micro-credential be delivered?
- The micro-credential is built around 5 contact hours per week. There is a fixed 3-hour block for practical work and 1-hour blocks for lecture material every week.
- In the first two weeks the 3-hour blocks will be used for an introduction to the NUKE cinema compositor and its programming environment.
- Thereafter you will be led through several short exercises in plugin development and compression usage. These blocks will be mostly self-directed with advice from the module coordinator in the first hour of each block.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- You will learn about engineering design in both high-end postproduction and best in class streaming media workflows.
- The first part of this micro-credential gives you both the mathematical underpinnings of algorithms for rotoscoping, matting and motion estimation and the practice of developing your own tool in a high-end platform.
- In the second part, you will learn about the video compression technology and how that is applied to content aware transcoding. Through all of this you will learn the mathematical fundamentals of the new Deep Learning algorithms which are disrupting both these domains.
- Finally, the course is interspersed with domain insights from practitioners in industry e.g., Google, YouTube, BBC, Facebook, Foundry, Weta, and others.
