Come Prepared!

Plan your time carefully! Once the computer shuts down, all data will be lost. Bring a USB Drive or have a Cloud Storage account for saving your work. If you are working on large digital video, audio, or high definition image projects, you may need a significant amount of storage space.

If you are having issues please check that everything is plugged in correctly, check the power and review the available guides. Staff are available to answer basic questions during your session, but you should attend an introductory workshop if the software or equipment is new to you.
