    Great video, very straight forward and easy to understand. I'm just an old man who's creatively and technically challenged, and even I was able to follow along and was cobbling together my first video within just a few minutes. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve used Final Cut for years to make short videos for non-profits I believed in for years (for free). Because I’ve decided to get back into filmmaking, I searched online to find out what Final Cut looks like these days.
    This one is excellent. It covers just enough detail and is at the same time, just simple enough to make clear how the app now works and how I can use it. It employs the best teaching techniques (and I was once a teacher) and the best presentation techniques (and I was a technical writer and documentation leader for a
    major software company) so I know of what I speak. This is is one of the best online tutorials I’ve ever seen. Kudos!

    Thank you so much for this very informative beginner tutorial. I was getting tired of of fighting with basic/free video editing software that I wanted to have a tool that is full featured. With a full featured software of course brings with it a hefty learning curve, this video will help me a lot to get started. 🙏

I know I will struggle at first, but I think I’ll be happy with my investment in the long run. Thank you again, buddy. 👊🏾👊🏾

    Awesome video! In the first minute, you covered the main reason for searching for "final cut pro basics", cuz what the hell is Events, what's the difference from Projects, and how to work with it! I've worked with DaVinci Resolve and Premiere some years ago, and coming back to this area I felt a big noob opening the Final Cut for the 1st time! Thank you, I subscribed to go deeper in Final Cut Pro!

  • @haroldofkernow9279
    @haroldofkernow9279 Рік тому +1

    This video was ideal! Easy to follow, straight to the point, perfect little FCPX tutorial.
    Question... When you change the speed of a clip like you showed here, does that have any effect on the timeline?
    For example, if I've set the project up as 4k25fps, and my footage is in 25fps, what will the speeding up or slowing down do?
    I think it'd be allrght if it was exactly doubled, as 50fps would fit on the 25fps timeline?
    But if you dragged clips to random percentages of the original speed,like shown here, what would that do and how would that affect the timeline overall? (Hope that makes sense?)
    Are you planning on doing any more FCPX videos?
    You mentioned a more in depth tutorial on colouring perhaps?
    Also, do you know what is the Apple programme named Motion?
    Is it Apple's version of After Effects (Like if FCPX is Apple's Premiere?)
    I have tried repeatedly but just don't get on with Premiere, & I am seemingly really enjoying FCPX so far, so I think Motion could be of interest going forward if I'm correct in thinking what it is.
    Cheers man.
    Really good & helpful little intro tutorial...
    Subbed! ;)
