Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a high-end PC to learn this?
For Photo Editing (Photoshop/Illustrator), a standard i5/Ryzen 5 with 8GB RAM works fine. For Video Editing (Premiere/DaVinci), a dedicated GPU and 16GB+ RAM are highly recommended. Offline students can use our high-end lab workstations.
Why learn both Photo and Video editing?
Modern clients and agencies look for full-stack creators. Knowing how to design your own vector graphics or retouch photos before bringing them into a video timeline gives you a massive competitive advantage. It's essential for creating thumbnails, lower-thirds, and cinematic compositions.
Can I make a career out of this?
Absolutely. The demand for visual creators is at an all-time high due to the boom in digital marketing, YouTube content, and OTT platforms. You can work full-time in an agency or earn a high income as a freelance designer and editor.
