I’m new to editing. I watched several videos for beginners for Final Cut and this is the best I’ve watched; careful and detailed explanations, clear and precise demonstrations. Whether you’re new to Final Cut or looking for additional techniques this is the video of choice.
A 50 minute video lesson turned into 2 hours of learning. I have been using iMovie for years and have done well with it. I have had FCP for a year and now have the time to start to learn it. FCP has a learning curve and your video helped tremendously. Thank you. Glad I can watch on my iPad Pro and edit on the Mac. Top tip for anyone else doing this. Allowed me to watch pause and edit.
Me and my son have been using final cut for quite a few years now but I’m still watching and will have him watch. A lot of little things you don’t think about are nice to be reminded of.
Explained topically, systematically and incrementally better than ANY FCPX tutorial I have seen - and I have seen dozens. "line upon line; precept upon precept." Great care was taken to direct the viewer through each step, applying a clean slate as he moved through different skill sets. Without question I will pursue more teaching from this man.
Many thanks for making this available. I hadn't used FCP for several years and had pretty much forgotten evrything I once knew. This video jogged my memory and brought me right up to date with everything. Much appreciated!
Great video.... I am a recent FCP user but have used several software products on Windows years ago. I started with iMovie and thought I would jump into a full featured product like FCP. Basic controls were easy to figure out based on prior experience but this Video really help wet my appetite for more... Thank you very much. I will examine more of your online contributions and will consider your online classes.
I've just downloaded the trial version of FCP and am brand new to it. Of the videos that I have watched so far on UA-cam, this tutorial is by far the easiest to follow and full of great tips and techniques. I am looking for to getting stuck in!
I want to thank you for posting this video. I had a video production class that demanded students to learn final cut pro. Your tutorial was very helpful and clear to understand. Unlike most Final cut tutorials you did not rush through it and somehow you knew what a beginner like myself needed to use effectively. I received a high grade in my College Level Video production class because I studied your video extensively. Thank You.
Steve is an awesome teacher! I spent the last month searching everywhere for a good Final Cut Pro course, even considering community college. But Steve's clear explanations and engaging teaching style immediately won me over. I bought his core training and can't wait to dive into color grading once I'm finished!
Thank you for this concise and well-developed tutorial. While I’ve owned FCPX for a few years, I never felt like I was learning a good workflow for video production with it. This has been the BEST hour of training that I’ve ever had. I look forward to applying these skills to future projects. Now looking into your Motion tutorials to learn how to use that application effectively. Thank you very much!
So glad I found this tutorial as I'm an old fart trying to get started with FCP and your information is very clear and easy to follow. Going to look into your course now.
"Because I'm old school, I prefer hiding [jump cuts]." I knew there was something I liked about you! This was my first FCP tutorial and I'm glad I found it. This was very helpful and I will go to you first if I need more instruction. Also, I like that your cover images for your videos aren't those "dopey face" ones, which was another reason I chose yours first.
I am relatively new into FCP, but have been using iMovie for 20 years. I upgraded due to the power of the program and the power of my newish MacBook Pro. I have not been using FCP just because I didn't understand it as well as iMovie and seems way more complicated. This is a GREAT overview on how to use the program simply and got me over the hump to using FCP full-time. Thank you!!
just downloaded final cut today, and after messing around with it for couple of hours a friend sent me this video and it solved all my problems and got me feeling comfortable with the softwear. thanks a lot!
however, I got stuck in one thing and would like to ask a question- after creating my multitrack single file, I accidently double clicked it and "opened" all the files inside, and now I cant seem to "close" it and continue editing the multicam file. What can I do? where can I find the anser for this? Thanks a lot
Talk about a blast from the past. Looks like Steve has more grey in his beard and Ive less hair on my head. I used to watch Steve and his buddy(name slips my mind) way back in 2006 till around 2010. the tutorials on both Motion and FCP pre-X they produced were amazing and very entertaining to boot. Ive long since retired doing mainly photography, but my new SonyA7R5 with its 10bit Slog video have lured me back in. Hence my need to seek help and assistance from Steve and ripple training to update my Final Cut skills..
A well-produced tutorial like this will go a long way towards helping adopt new users to the software. I hope to see lots of new FCP user's awesome work in the future!
Bravo! A few minutes ago I cancelled my subscription to a skill sharing website because they failed to deliver anything comparable to this free class and the full tutorial you also offer. The distinction is quality, course planning, preparation, delivery, and pacing. You have it, they don't. You supply the course materials so I can follow along. Of course! My only suggestion - to students - is to try to have a dual monitor configuration when you take the course. That way, you can pause and try something, then continue. Or back up and review what was missed. A tiny bit about me. I'm pretty familiar with Pinnacle Studio Ultimate on Windows but am entirely new to Final Cut Pro and the Mac OS. So, in my case, I know what needs to be done, I just don't know how to do it with Mac OS and Final Cut Pro. Especially the keyboard shortcuts which are so much more important in Final Cut Pro. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
Hello from a complete newbie - never used any editing software before. Out of all the free "tutorial" videos I have seen about using the basics of FCP...YOU WERE THE BEST! IT WAS THE EASIEST AND MOST METHODICAL! You took the time not only with the process...you named the different tools with explanations and you gave the shortcuts for them as well. YOU HAVE ALLEVIATED ALL MY BUILT UP ANXIETY! I will be signing up for your course(s). Thank you so, So, SO much Much love from Trinidad, West Indies
Just purchased this tutorial, I checked, this is the 21st tutorial I've purchased from you guys, and one of the best yet! (my favorite is still The Cupcake Tutorial), I think I purchased my first from you guys in or around 2014 and since then have successfully edited more than 50 professional projects, but like you said there are a lot of little tricks & tips that make it well worth while to spend the time going through the lessons. Thanks as always Steve, this is another great tutorial.!
My first go with Ripple training. Fantastic value for a free tutorial. Easy to follow for a beginner to FCP. And,- of course I bought the 7 Hour FCP Core Training with 20% discount. I really look forward to do the Core Training now. Thanks!
Even though I've been using FCPX for more than ten years I did learn quite a few new tricks from this film. It's one of the clearest and simplest guides I have seen on youtube for editing with FCPX. Very well done!!

WOW- BEST tutorial I have seen and such a HUGE help! I have been trying to use FCP for a while and picking up tips, lessons other videos but this was absolutely above everything I've seen! His direction is exact, well explained, easy tyo follow (as easy as FCP can be). I can now edit! Can't wait to take the full course. Raving fan. FYI I have a channel with 3000+ subs, and a full time editor and now I can actually infuse my videos with my vision because i know how it works! Yay!
I have been using FCP without understand the basics. I can do some simple editing but the process was frustrating and not efficient. After watching your video, everything comes together. Thank you so much.
Hello Steve, Your training video taught me FCP 10.0 many moons ago. I've recently returned to FCPX and this video helped me get back to speed. Many thanks for all you do.
I’m glad I came across your tutorial. There are many on UA-cam, but you showed some valuable editing points, things I never would have found otherwise. I’m one for perfection and precise detail when it comes to editing, including audio editing. Spot on. Thank you.
I just bought Final Cut for my MacBook and this was very helpful. I have been using InShot on my phone since I started my channel. it’s okay for what I was doing, but it’s time to step up my content. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
I have been editing for over 10 years with Final Cut and have always used your tutorials, I decided to watch your one hour preview of your "Learn Final Cut in 60 Min" there is always something to learn and I did. Thanks you guys make learning fun and enjoyable.
I just started delving into FCPx in this last year as a hobby and have been watching lots of YT videos and this is, by far, the video I've gotten the most out of. So much so, I went ahead and bought the essentials training.Thanks for the free content!
That was excellent. I am an advanced beginner,and there was loads of useful process info in here. The sense of overview was very good and will allow me to then take a deep dive into topics this does not cover.
Thank you so much Steve. I only use FCP to do the odd movie of my boys. Been away for a while and as they are young adults now, I am thinking of tackling the enormous task of going through 30 years of video and photos and creating 4-5 min. vids. Your generosity of providing these tutorials, helps to motivate and make the creation process much more enjoyable. Your efforts really do make a difference.
Final Cut Pro, for me, has always been like MS Word - Word will do 10,000 things but I only use it to write letters. I so appreciate your content and plan to purchase your 7-hour course. Thanks again for this tutorial! Jim
Really enjoyed the tutorial, probably spent around 4-5 hrs working on it. Also, while working on the starting portion of the video, I learnt that if 2 clips are very similar, just copying colour values works better than the fancy 'match colour' option
Steve, I think this is a great idea! Often i try to share ripple training vids in user forums and I’ve often looked for the best options for people who are just starting. This would give them a good start AND show them how great ripple training vids are!
This is just brilliant, and proves to me just how much time and angst I had wasted on Premiere Pro. Fed up with the zillions of PP menus, I kept secretly sneaking back to iMovie for simple edits and watching this and following along has sold me on moving fully to FCP (and eschewing any Avid alternative). Thanks so much from London, England!
I'm new to imac and final cut pro and this video is by far the best way of learning for me. You explain it very well and it's not rushed. Not once did I have to pause and go back. Looking forward to watching more
Great video! I am not a newbie to fcp , but I still learned several very cool things about fcp, like the "active clip indicator"..... Thanks for your time making this vid.
It’s amazing I really appreciate it. I’m going to buy the whole course. Cause this video gave me a clue if I get this much knowledge, knowing that I am a complete beginner for video editing whatsoever, the whole course will definitely make me a pro. Thanks again.
Thank you Steve. This is the most sensible FCP training that I ever viewed. Bonus is that it was done in under 60 minutes and it covers almost everything. Though I need to pause and go back in some parts.
Really a fantastic tutorial from beginning to end. I appreciate your time and effort making this. Learnt a lot from this. Thank you so much and keep creating. 👍
I've watched a couple of videos on final cut pro. And so far this is by far the most comprehensive showing how to use the most important tools. Thanks so much !! New subscriber !!
Final Cut Pro and have really appreciated this training video. I was buzzing along until 10 minutes left of training and Final Cut Pro quite unexpectedly. I chose "reopen" and everything was gone. Trying to work out if the project was saved or should I have chosen to save somewhere. Not a great introduction to using FCP! And so glad it happened in training and not my own first project!
Nothing is gone - just open the library I had you create - locate it where you save a it and double-click. Btw, you never have to save in FCP it’s a dynamic database that updates in real time
Garry Huges said it all. I so appreciate this video that I am considering downloading the whole hour. Those custom tabs on the playback can then be used as a quick reference when I need it in a hurry. In your training, do you have a Go Pro Hero 360 video that can be edited in Final Cut Pro? If anyone can do this, it will be your team.
That was great, though I wouldn't expect anything less from Steve. Right to the point. My way of evaluating such content is....would I now be able to go off and do what he has just shown me? The answer in this case is yes. It's all about empowerment, and I feel in relation to FCPX empowered. I just need to get to grips with using Luts as I plan to shoot in Slog3. Thanks again Steve. It's like meeting an old friend after many years....thirteen to be exact.
So I left Adobe Premiere Pro the other day. The reason I left, the dang thing wouldn't open, "Failed to initialize" and all the work arounds didn't work other than restarting the machine and plugging my external monitor in after the program was opened. This can't be the fix. It just can't I refuse to use it until I read it is patched. I pay a lot for it to not work. I made my first movie in FCP. It wasn't fast, it was kind of intuitive, but it worked. I had some issues with files losing audio and then some files zooming in way too much, probably my fault, but I figured it all out. It just made sense. Now, I have to crush the edits. I am a leader in my field, but I am not fast. I need to be faster, but I film a lot, multiple angles, replays, captions. I make the movie I want to sit down and enjoy. And yes I am my biggest fan and my worst critic. Then came this video I was recommended by trying to find motion on text objects and key framing. This video was fabulous. The VLOG type subject matter wasn't my jam, but I really dug all the elements being brought together. The counting of music, genius, who would have ever thought of such a thing? I just look at the highs in the music and make a blank caption and use that as a spacer typically. Thank you for the effort of putting this together.
Just started using the software, thank you for this - will be following you and yes I will send some $ (just have to get some more $ after the software purchase) - good work, thank you.
Steve, it's been several years since I've worked with Final Cut & Motion. This was a GREAT recap to get me back into the swing of things. Great overview!
Subscribed, thanks so much for taking the time and sharing all these tips and tricks. Much appreciated, now I feel like I’m ready to jump into this app
Thank you so much for this! I feel confident about getting started with video projects! You made it so easy to follow along and I'm sure I'll be referencing this video again and again for reminders as a newbie! I appreciated you including different ways of doing things, from clicks to keyboard shortcuts.
Just finished the whole video today this morning! That was refreshing! Didn’t touch Final Cut Pro for almost a year ! But ! Had to watch other ripple training classes about color correction “ davinci resolve “ to practice. Steve and Martin are my legends ❤️
Wow! Thanks guys. I learned so much - mostly with the shortcuts - but also many of the other tips & tricks! I suspect I'll be back to watch this again :)
This is great. Is there a forum that’s not necessarily Apple ? One like Logic Pro help ….its great to have as many resources as possible . Nothing wrong with apple community but it’s not as quick in getting responses …thank you very much !
I’m new to editing. I watched several videos for beginners for Final Cut and this is the best I’ve watched; careful and detailed explanations, clear and precise demonstrations. Whether you’re new to Final Cut or looking for additional techniques this is the video of choice.

Hello from a complete newbie - never used any editing software before.

Yes! These guys do it right.

I just started delving into FCPx in this last year as a hobby and have been watching lots of YT videos and this is, by far, the video I've gotten the most out of. So much so, I went ahead and bought the essentials training.Thanks for the free content!
Thanks Robert 🙏🏻 keep us updated on your progress!
That was excellent. I am an advanced beginner,and there was loads of useful process info in here. The sense of overview was very good and will allow me to then take a deep dive into topics this does not cover.
Steve...thank you so much for producing this video. I'm just getting started in FCP and your material was immensely helpful!
A masterful production - clearly and succinctly presented with amazing attention to detail. Thank you Steve! ⭐️👍
Thank you John!

Thanks Steve, this is an excellent introduction to FCP. Just what I needed to get started.
Thanks sir…….
Take my Love
This channel is a goldmine for FCP and Apple Motion tutorials. So many quality tutorials. Thank you so much for making these. Subbed! :)
Final Cut Pro, for me, has always been like MS Word - Word will do 10,000 things but I only use it to write letters. I so appreciate your content and plan to purchase your 7-hour course. Thanks again for this tutorial! Jim
Glad you found us !
I haven't even watched it yet but I've given it a thumbs UP! Your reputation far preceeds you.
Really enjoyed the tutorial, probably spent around 4-5 hrs working on it. Also, while working on the starting portion of the video, I learnt that if 2 clips are very similar, just copying colour values works better than the fancy 'match colour' option
I think that this may be the best training video I have ever done on any software. The trainer is an absolutely gifted communicator.
Great lesson. Very clear professional description. Never seen an explanation like this before. Heartfelt thanks. And all the best in your endeavours
Tamilnadu from india...
Steve, I think this is a great idea! Often i try to share ripple training vids in user forums and I’ve often looked for the best options for people who are just starting. This would give them a good start AND show them how great ripple training vids are!
Thanks J.B.
Hi J.Bhow are you doing 😊
Excellent! yours is the only tutorial that I have discovered that truly shows the step by step actions required to begin editing. Thank you!
Amazing that you took the time to make this video. If the world had more folks like you, we’d be in a much better place. Thank You!!!!
Great idea Steve, going to show this to my sister who is just starting; the previous Ripple Training I own was too deep dive for her to start.
This should be perfect for her -
That was a lot of fun!! I just moved from iMovie to FCP and this was INVALUABLE! Thank you!
This is just brilliant, and proves to me just how much time and angst I had wasted on Premiere Pro. Fed up with the zillions of PP menus, I kept secretly sneaking back to iMovie for simple edits and watching this and following along has sold me on moving fully to FCP (and eschewing any Avid alternative). Thanks so much from London, England!
Great Work Steve! Even after using FCP for a few years, I still picked up some new tricks!
Thanks Robert!
I'm new to imac and final cut pro and this video is by far the best way of learning for me. You explain it very well and it's not rushed. Not once did I have to pause and go back. Looking forward to watching more
Thank you for your feedback - means a lot and helps me with the next one we want to deliver.
Great video!
I am not a newbie to fcp , but I still learned several very cool things about fcp, like the "active clip indicator".....

THANK YOU. This was SUCH a good training video. You've got a dedicated follower and subscriber for all my future needs!
Excellent and in my opinion very generous of Ripple Training!
What a fantastic video! Informative, succinct, and relevant. Well done!!
This is a fantastic video, your way in illustrating is so easy and thanks for the materials that helped me a lot.
Final Cut Pro and have really appreciated this training video. I was buzzing along until 10 minutes left of training and Final Cut Pro quite unexpectedly. I chose "reopen" and everything was gone. Trying to work out if the project was saved or should I have chosen to save somewhere. Not a great introduction to using FCP! And so glad it happened in training and not my own first project!
Nothing is gone - just open the library I had you create - locate it where you save a it and double-click. Btw, you never have to save in FCP it’s a dynamic database that updates in real time
This video is absolute class man! Thanks for taking th me time to make this! I’m a total noob to video from photography
New to Apple. New to FCP. This is awesome, thanks.
Garry Huges said it all. I so appreciate this video that I am considering downloading the whole hour. Those custom tabs on the playback can then be used as a quick reference when I need it in a hurry. In your training, do you have a Go Pro Hero 360 video that can be edited in Final Cut Pro? If anyone can do this, it will be your team.
Gr8 help. Thank you for such an amazing tutorial. Keep up the awesome work.
That was great, though I wouldn't expect anything less from Steve. Right to the point. My way of evaluating such content is....would I now be able to go off and do what he has just shown me? The answer in this case is yes. It's all about empowerment, and I feel in relation to FCPX empowered. I just need to get to grips with using Luts as I plan to shoot in Slog3. Thanks again Steve. It's like meeting an old friend after many years....thirteen to be exact.
So I left Adobe Premiere Pro the other day. The reason I left, the dang thing wouldn't open, "Failed to initialize" and all the work arounds didn't work other than restarting the machine and plugging my external monitor in after the program was opened. This can't be the fix. It just can't I refuse to use it until I read it is patched. I pay a lot for it to not work.
I made my first movie in FCP. It wasn't fast, it was kind of intuitive, but it worked. I had some issues with files losing audio and then some files zooming in way too much, probably my fault, but I figured it all out. It just made sense. Now, I have to crush the edits. I am a leader in my field, but I am not fast. I need to be faster, but I film a lot, multiple angles, replays, captions. I make the movie I want to sit down and enjoy. And yes I am my biggest fan and my worst critic.
Then came this video I was recommended by trying to find motion on text objects and key framing. This video was fabulous. The VLOG type subject matter wasn't my jam, but I really dug all the elements being brought together. The counting of music, genius, who would have ever thought of such a thing? I just look at the highs in the music and make a blank caption and use that as a spacer typically.
Thank you for the effort of putting this together.
Just started using the software, thank you for this - will be following you and yes I will send some $ (just have to get some more $ after the software purchase) - good work, thank you.
As you said: "In a nutshell", I like 'old school' while having watched a ton of how to edit in FCPX in a week or so
Steve, it's been several years since I've worked with Final Cut & Motion. This was a GREAT recap to get me back into the swing of things. Great overview!

This is great. Is there a forum that’s not necessarily Apple ?
One like Logic Pro help ….its great to have as many resources as possible . Nothing wrong with apple community but it’s not as quick in getting responses …thank you very much !
