Another FCP X tutorial

**iThinkergoiMac** · 2012 July 4th, 23:05

CG, thanks for putting all these together! I just picked up a copy of FCPX. So far it's impressed me with its ability to handle multiple codecs in the timeline as well as adding effects with ease. It's a little slow on my 2.26 GHz 13" MBP (2009) but it works pretty well. My system is also really quite messed up and slow, but I haven't reinstalled because I upgraded to Lion and had FCS2 installed, which can't install under Lion because the installer is PPC, while the actual apps are universal. When Mountain Lion comes out I'll do a clean install and that should speed things up significantly.

But, yeah, really appreciate you putting all these together. They'll be a big help with getting a head start on relearning FCP...

You are very welcome. Have fun with it.

Uhm, trouble at home? Since you're married you barely, it at all, show up any more....

**iThinkergoiMac** · 2012 July 5th, 05:54

Haha, no trouble, just life. Things have been pretty busy in general, and I haven't really done any video work other than recording a few things from a static angle for church.

**cgbier** · 2012 July 6th, 05:47

It's always nice to hear from you, no matter if you produce anything or not.

**iThinkergoiMac** · 2012 July 6th, 05:49

I'll have to try to drop by more often, then

I'll also certainly be sharing my footage from the upcoming shoot I'm doing.

10 10 second tips for FCP X. Sorry that he starts with "heywhatsupguys", but there's some useful stuff there.

**cgbier** · 2012 August 20th, 08:16

Editing in FCP X is pretty fast. Ben Balser shows some tricks how you can get even more speed out of your trimmings.

**cgbier** · 2012 August 22nd, 07:42

This is a tutorial on what I like most about X - the speed of sorting out media. What they forget to mention is that you can set a couple of I/O points in a clip by just making severe section a favorite.

Once you are done with the sorting, you simply plant the chosen clips into your storyline with the q,w and/or e keys. Putting together your rough cut without ever touching the mouse/trackpad.

T. Payton has posted these excellent tips on fooling around with the Storyline:

10.0.6 came only out yesterday, but Rippletraining already has an in depth training on the new (and absolutely great!) features. The two-hour tutorials cost 25 bucks in the 720p version, 1080p is 30 bucks.

Steve Martin's dry humor ("it is like searching for a piece of hay in a stack of needles") is included in the package for free.

**cgbier** · 2012 October 31st, 02:31

Steve and Mark show the new import tricks in .6

**chipgallo** · 2012 October 31st, 10:42

RippleTraining also updated the 5-hour intro course and offered at a discount to legacy owners. It looks like the file (disk image) download hasn't changed, only the Quicktime tutorial files.

**homestar_kevin** · 2012 October 31st, 11:35

Ah bummer though, it seems they raised there prices a bit.

Not a big deal, definitely still a great value there.

I wonder when they'll re-release a value pack with all the courses included...

**cgbier** · 2012 October 31st, 17:14

They are still pretty much the cheapest on the market. Larry, MPV, Lynda are all more expensive. You can get a good part of the Rippletraining for free on McBreak Studio.

Steve and Martin hold an hour-long presentation at LACPUG (formerly known as LAFCPUG) meet on new features in the latest update:

**homestar_kevin** · 2012 November 2nd, 10:50

Yeah, definitely no sour grapes on the price, It's absolutely worth it.

Just want to wait for a package before I buy them. Hopefully it'll show up sometime soon.

That presentation is awesome! Good find

If you updated to 10.0.6, I highly recommend to get their new training. It's worth it.

**cgbier** · 2012 December 6th, 02:14

10.0.6 marked the return of the Dual Viewer - slightly different than the old version. Steve and Mark show what you can do with it:

**HueyNRolf** · 2012 December 19th, 19:37

CG, thanks for posting these. I had a look at the one about audio and, I have to say, it looks fiddly to me. I think I'm really going to miss the mixer when I make the switch.
