@GRIPSKATECREW1 fin a

[ryans9de5bomb]

is this better than sony vegas pro... i want to compare them with video fx, transitions, and how simple it is...

[AoiKageNoChikara]

Nice tutorial, I've got a question please someone help me, I use Sony Vegas, but I'm gonna get a Mac, I Use Sony Vegas Cuz I need o use a lot of Audio and Video Channels on my projects, i Once used 7 Channels total in a project, my question is, Can Final Cut pro create the same quantity of Channels? also is it true Adobe Products can't be used in Mac?, thanks in advance for your response

[seanrquinn]

@AoiKageNoChikara adobe products have mac options.

[alyssac11]

OMG I want it. I have to wait till I graduate and get mac tho.

[spareaxe]

So, what other software program can work with a regular PC?

[uky1985]

@Grinchproducti0ns yes it is. its difficult to learn but easy to understand and easy to use

[teddynozza]

what video editing system do u use? i'm tryin to do a good quality music video in 1080p hd but windosws movie maker sucks and magix movie maker publishes way too slow on 1080p

[somekid1564]

dammit only time i regrett buying windows.

[The2DumbPlumbers]

@somekid1564 haha me to!!!

[aycajr]

great video dude, I tried to log in ur website and get more tutorials but I couldn't, then I realized I probably needed to create an account, which I've tried through several different browsers and the site seem to be stuck, which is too bad, u did a good job on the FCP editing basic tutorial compared to the others.

[DynastarSkier73]

Can I cut .avc hd and .mp4 files without problems or do I have to convert them??

[toontownlover562]

I just found out my dad has a copy of this! He said he would put it on my computer aswell! :D

[oidoy]

@PhaazrHD glad you told me first :) well that sucks i want final cut :) ill stick to Vegas then

[scribe381]

just had my first lesson from a certified final cut pro instructor from apple. very useful video because you both touched on the same material. so i used this to review my notes from today. thank you again.

[wac209]

KEEP IT UP

[killfrenzy1020]

thanks man

[nerdluvr4eva]

wait, is this the program people use in proffesional movies. if its not what do they use?

[CPRockinShock]

@nerdluvr4eva This is the program they use in movies and TV Shows. Some editors stick with Avid, but final cut pro is cheaper, and can do almost anything avid can but better.

[vixie2alpes]

thanks so much! i've used iMovie for a while but now feel confident to actually attempt final cut pro.

[Thedirtyc0w]

is final cut pro free

[wohs145]

@Thedirtyc0w Its only free after you give someone about $600.

[STEPOFF134]

@wohs145 more like 1,000

[amarhatespiders]

This was amazing. I looked everywhere and your video is one of the few that simply tells me how to do basic stuff.

[V3nnu]

thanks mate =)

it's awesome how you take your time off to help people like that.

good job mate :)

[FreshNapp]

Also, you said you hit Control I. I think you meant Command I.

[FreshNapp]

Thanks man. Very thorough. A great start! You have talent in just demonstration alone. This will help me edit my interview I did with a band that just got signed that my clothing company sponsors.

[MrOrsleie]

Love you!

[FIXOVISION]

hi, thanks for the video. I recently moved from the PC to iMac pro. I use the iMovie to make small videos for YOUTUBE uploads. Is the Final Cut Pro as intuitive as the iMovie? I hope there are many more choices for titles and transitions compared to the iMovie. Does it slow down the mac while editing ? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[JoyMaze123]

yea I just realized this program is for Macs only, as well....so, does anyone know another good film editing program?????

[lovelyti2002]

@JoyMaze123 sony vegas 8 or 9 is my favorite for pc

[MrASGproductions]

@lovelyti2002 same but i hate my pc..haha

[lovelyti2002]

@MrASGproductions yeah i love my macbook too lol

i just reformatted it, so now i have windows on there as well,

so now i can use sony vegas on my mac,

i'm still playing around with final cut pro, but it's still kind of confusing lol.

[flambo99]

@JoyMaze123 Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier and Pinnacle Studio 14 (my favorite)

[crazyari100]

i have a big problem: i can' t import any video from the computer to the application. which format should i use to import them? thanks

[IdoubleL2]

They still make PC's...??? : )

[dreamelatte]

[mrluckylemon]

[ganmanG]

@mrluckylemon yess only for mac!

[cureheads7777]

I'm a school teacher in a high school I have 20 class videos to edit for my students this weekend...thanks so much for this.. I bought FCP today and already thanks to you I am making very basic cuts and edits which I hope will look more and more professional as the weekend goes on. Cheers mate.

[sportsportsport]

Thanks dude.

[LeavesNoTrace]

Which mac do i buy to use final cut pro? Please no in-depth Ram talk. Just one model will do. Many thanks.

[MadtokerGL]

@LeavesNoTrace any mac made after 2008

[TurboBounce]

cheers mate, helped me a lot to get started

[marioatik]

pc or mac ?

the answer is yes you can use this on your windows vista but legally NO as stated from

LaneLIpro but some idiot out here are funboys and they dont know what they talking about i have installed final cut pro on my pc and its working fine but i dont see why not using adobe premier. an artist is an artist no mater what pen he use.

[LaneLIpro]

@marioatik I don't know if that was an insult or what that was supposed to mean but yeah its possible and yes its illegal I have a few friends that have done it.

[LaneLIpro]

I feel like such an idiot asking this but my timeline is off the screen and it won't allow me to drag it over to work with it. Its almost like its hiding. Any help is appreciated

[hydrogen2dmax]

@LaneLIpro make a new sequence.

[abyssrelm]

[Tigz90]

Very helpful and thank you

[polishstar123456]

[LaneLIpro]

Legally.....No, only apple.

[sakichan131bellkid]

oh thank you! this helps so much ^.^

[phaeanus]

wonderfully explained

[Studio1three]

I am a 28 yr PC'r. I have made the swith. Picked up the 27" Imac. Crazy story, but nom am making the switch from Vegas / premiere / Ulead Media Studio/ and everything else other than Avid. Still havent gotten ther. From what I can see in the past well... few minutes, it's the same thing. I mean if you combine Vegas and the premier you get this..AWESOME. Even a little like the Ableton Live series.. Love them. Later guys

Tony

[LiechtensteinFilms]

[burgerboy3000]

@eppingoz oh silly rabbit

[Themilitarykid1]

@eppingoz Hey im a freshman but im in a college level video editing class do you think i need a 15in i7 MBP or do you think the basic 15in MBP would be fine?

[liamdeluchi]

@Themilitarykid1 im currently running a 13 inch macbook and it still works well be ready to get a huge hard drive tho LOL

[KipSP]

no, but sony vegas pro is just as good, and really really similar

[matt56037]

Can anyone direct me to a YouTube URL for a video similar to this but for Color? I can't seem to find a video going over the basics of Color...

[lukemulholland15]

do you all really pay £800 for this? I really want it but cant afford that much =[

[Auriclight]

It's $ 1500 in the US

[creegsly]

Thanks for the info... that makes FCP A LOT less intimidating

[SuperiorMold]

[1118t100smd]

well done

[jay1jam]

thanks man..takes alot of fear of the thousand page manual...there is hope..

[TripleMFilmWork]

hey man i have a canon hv30 and i cant get my footage on fcp 5.0.4 please man help me out or make a video on that.

[RattlesnakeJimmyz]

I have the same camera. I had to use HDV(1440x1080)60i as my capture device instead of firewire basic(it wouldn't work). Works now. If anyone knows why this is, I'd like to know.

[AriaInTheSky]

Does FCP work ONLY on Mac/Apple computers? If so, I'm going to REALLY shoot myself.

[gsxr750pimpin]

[Danerd9]

SONY VEGAS IS BETTA! right? i am so gonna get hated with this comment. well some famous guys on utube use this. likee venetian princess and other stuff like tht. i think fred uses vegas to get the high pitchy voice. :D

[barkly54]

can you use final cut  pro/express with windows vista computer?

[cspactest]

no, runs on macs/apples only. unless you are running some kind of mac os emulator program on your windows pc machine. i have never used one of those and wouldn't bother with it.

[theacemaverick]

Great video just what I was looking for XD

[mildjimshales]

Evan, this was very, very useful my friend. Keep up the good work!

[rockmeslowly79]

Hey how many disks does this final cut pro come with?

[AMV360]

is ths only for apple

[cheezoncrack]

yes

[PowerPlanetTheGame]

yeah you have to have a mac

[cspactest]

if you really really really want to run it on a PC you have to run a Mac emulator on your PC and i wouldn't bother

[barkly54]

thank you for your advice

[NewKiTV]
