Creative Studios Guides

To get you started using the Creative Studios, here are some basic guides to introduce you to the wide array of software and equipment available. Each guide provides step-by-step basic instructions to help you begin using the tools available at the Creative Studios for your media projects. Much like a compass, a Creative Studio guide is intended to get you oriented to the software and headed in the right direction.

In addition to the basics, the guides provide links through the Learn More section to tutorials, courses and other resources. These materials will map out the software in more detail and provide new tools, techniques and inspiration to take your projects to the next level.
