  • hey uhhh i cant enlarge the video, when i double click the video i only get the blue box and none of the little boxes or the x through it

  • hello there, i need help with my final cut pro....I have edited my project in another computer before i saved the project and opened it on another computer. The thing is i only have the final cut session saved from the previous computer. Thus, the media files all went offline. So how do i find the media files from the previous computer? And if i found it, do i have to re-edit my video in the timeline? Thanks.

  • WERE CAN I FIND EXPLOSION EFECTS HEALP ME OR I GIVE MY SEALF THE FINAL CUT!!!XD

  • Very informative, inventive and helpful tutorial. :) 

  • yea... i really gotta find a basic video

  • I've been using Pinnacle and need an upgrade. How is this software to work with?

  • Okai, can someone please take a little bit of time out of their day to explain to me what Final Cut Pro actually is, what it is capable of doing and it's best features as I can't be bothered to look it up for myself I would rather it come from someone on YouTube to tell me who has used this software before. Thanks in advance.

  • thanks interesting and helpfull to do something 2 different way...always appriciated these freebies.

  • Whats up with giant mouse? x) :P

  • i like it

  • I think it's a great tutorial however it's just as easy to have one image on two separate layers. Use perspective>flop on the bottom layer image. Then go into the motion tab scroll down to crop. Crop the image from the bottom and then just add a feather. There's no reason why it should take 10 minutes to explain a reflection.

  • @ZBlaxberg he explained it really well and showed 2 different ways...

  • @ZBlaxberg

    Exactly! Keep It Simple, and it looks the same. :)

  • It might be because you haven't rendered the timeline yet. Try exporting a portion of the timeline and see if the quality really is that bad.

  • HI could anybody please help im using finalcut express4, when i watch the play back from the camera as im importing the footage into finalcut it looks great.

    However when i watch the footage back on the time line the image looks alot worse,its darker and its grainy-R. basically the image degrades

    could anybody help me with this?

  • @gerodeo Option+R to render your video.

  • watch?v=I3pvPMh4prM

    awesome blood effects

  • Amazing tutorial

  • can someone please tell me how to do the title effect in the beginning of this video -->

    /watch?v=4MjTb5A68VA

  • Anyone need help with anything on mac send me a message and i will make a tutorial for you.

  • Hi there, please i need help with FCP 7. I downloaded the software and it was working fine, but i came home to realise my mum moved the FCP 7 to trash, i removed it from trash, clicked on it to open, and each time i do this comes up:

    Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly

    click reopen to open the application. This report will be sent to apple automatically.

    When i click on "re open" the same thing keeps coming up PLEEASE HELP!

  • @basherdiva Well your problem is you downloaded it instead of purchasing it legally...

  • AWESOME APP but i dont like the layout and design :: it would be better if it lokked sleek like imovie

  • Nice work man

  • nicer i like it. thanks

  • hey thanks great vid, did my first gun shot effect following what you said, but I want to know what program did you use to tape yourself doing the effects and post it on youtube. again thanks

  • Wow - I haven't been to this page in a few months. These comments are getting heated! People have strong feelings about this stuff. In any case - for those that enjoyed this video Im' glad I could help you out. For those that didn't - well I'm glad I could provide fodder for your flaming. In any case - keep watching. Thanks to those ads to the right of the video screen I get paid every time people watch this. LOL.

    I've been on hiatus because i just moved - but more tutorials will come soon!

  • @provideoschool GG...lol

  • Good job any tutorial is good if you paid attention good job this is better than books reading is harder

  • Comment removed

  • @BLUESOULDESIGNS No, that plugin is not available for any editor other than Final Cut. Any respectable editing software will give the same results without the plugin though.

  • this program is very simaler to sony vegas pro 9. sony vegas can do everything this can.

  • Awesome tutorial. had no idea about that keyboard shortcut. FCP is the best by far. Check out this vid i filmed with my iphone and edited using screenflow and FCP with the line art and CGM aged film filter. thanks again for the tip, guy

  • windows movie maker! FTW

  • @xMadFaceProductionsx How the hell does that compare with a professional production software?

  • wat is better Final Cut Express - Final Cut pro

  • I want to ask how can i find these two Video materials?

  • Great Tutorial! Ignore those people who only complain. They are the waste of your time. Keep up your good work!

  • Its a FREE tutorial! Stop complaining. Saw the people talking about how quick they could do it Vegas so I timed myself. Having never tried this before I did it in under 2 min. There is a difference between someone editing it for themselves vs training on audience how to do it.

    The only thing I would add is if you would like to have the video look 3 dimensional use the Distortion tool (press d) in addition to what provideoschool showed.

  • Thanks Final Cut is VERY confusing at first.

  • ur awesome man!!! thx for the tutorial, helped me so much on my independent film that im makin

  • Great tutorial. For future upload in HD so we can watch it in a better resolution. Thanks for sharing

  • pretty good video but it doesnt need to be 10 minutes long. try to get the point across in less words and be more to the point.

  • Nice video, but the quality is pretty bad. Maybe reupload in HD?

  • Great Video!

    Sony Vegas isn't half as good as FCP. I own a PC and a Mac, though I would prefer if FCP was on a pc as I'm more familiar with using them.

  • thx

  • I'm planing on upgrading to ae CS5 but is FCP better?

  • FUCK this. You make it look easy oh just drag it and then edit it. NOT THAT EASY. You drag the picture and it doesnt pop up in the canvas. And changes you make don't show in real time like it does in your canvas either, even though the image is shown i nthe timeline. Then you hit undo it takes off the image and takes it out of the browser put doesn't put it back in the browser when you redo. I'm just trying to put a logo in the corner of my video....

  • @FreshNapp Possible problems-

    to drag the picture to the canvas u cant drag on the actual picture, u drag off next to it in the black area. Any changes do happen in real time on the canvas, to see them u gotta have the time marker thing on the area u are working on. for the last thing not sure whats wrong there.

  • thx

  • Vegas is FOR amateurs.PERIOD.

  • oe que feo so uglye

  • wow thank you so much!!!!!

  • I see you've all been brainwashed and will only ignore alternatives to the massive, misplaced investments you've made. If I can't argue with facts and common sence then you can feel free to waste you time and money. I suppose someone needs to keep the better companies from getting a Monopoly again. Good luck to you all.

    You can respond if you want.... I'm sure you all want the last word but this has been mine, for this video.

  • @gosstony You are a freak. I mean, look at whom you are touting...SONY for fuck's sake. SONY is a huge bunch of faggots. Not to mention, so is ANYONE who uses their software products.

  • @nakedvolleyball Yes, there are Sony products that aren't that good, many are fine.

    Vegas was not made by Sony. Sony just bought the rights to publish it.

    Also, by bringing up vegas I was just making a point. I do most of my more complicated work in Adobe.

  • Is it possible to edit both SD and HD footage on the same FCP session?? if I do that will my HD footage be scaled down to SD???

    Thanks.

  • @nips42 *tear*

  • @nips42 Why did you click if you didnt wish to watch

  • @runescapeSUPERdimond

    I clicked to see the tutorial, but it was very slow.....

  • @nips42 So you expect him to go, hi you go here then here done, some people are beginners

  • /watch?v=7f3t79EKDtI  :D:D:D

  • Can this software works on WINDOWS XP?

  • @TROSKY1994

    no, but there are programs that are just as good.

    Adobe Premiere

    Sony Vegas

  • NY Video School has great online lessons for Final Cut Pro as well as Sony Vegas Studio and other stuff. Cool site with live lectures and I think you can have people critique your video.

  • Hey all - I'm taking suggestions for my next set of tutorials. E-mail me with suggestions!

  • @provideoschool Try: Final Cut Express 4!!!

    I´ll love that!

  • thank you i will try to use it

    look so cool

  • i did everything but when i hit play a weird noise like a metronome keeps playing and i cant see my video, it just says unrecognized or something like that

  • Render your file

  • How do i do that?

  • easiest way is to go to sequence, and click render all. there is a legend/guide available showing the code for knowing what needs rendering. normally, right above the edited or captured clips, those needing to be rendered (with the clicking "metronome" sound) have a red line throughout them

  • on a mac? cmd r is the shortcut

  • final cut is only for mac anyways

  • you need to render

    cmd r

  • Hey man that noise is the render noise. so what that means is that you need to render the track what you do is highlight the clip and move your cursor to the word in the toolbar that says sequence and select "render all" that will render the clip and the clip will render and play it back.

  • my mac came with with program lawls

  • Better get Adobe After Effects if u won't edit long movies. It has 1000x times more effects & plugins. And better GUI.

  • @TheBlackNotWhite

    are you referring to AE above Final Cut in general? Or just for this specific technique? for effects, AE is obviously better - but when it comes to filmmaking, AE is a complimentary program.

    AE is also extremely difficult to run for beginners.

  • Oh, thaaanks!

  • helped me out a lot, thanks! watch my street soccer vid which i edited with Final Cut Pro! :D

  • awesome i gotta buy finalcutpro can u give me estimate plzz

  • I think full version can get around $5k

  • @IVIodernWarfare Actually, Final Cut Studio is$999 new - but you do need a Mac which ranges from $599 to $8k+

  • @douglasryanadams You can get Final Cut Express which is about 199 I think

  • 1200

  • @DJDAMO93 b+h photo sells for 820...great price.

  • Hey I got a quick question. I only have iMovie HD (06), iMovie 08, and iMovie 09. what program can I use to record my screen? I have used CamTwist in imovie 06 hd and the quality is bad.

  • @IVIodernWarfare If you have snow leopard, quicktime X comes with a screen recorder. Open Quicktime X and click File>New Screen Recording.

  • Ill try it out thanks

  • The best screen recording program for mac is Screenflow.

  • Ill check that out also

  • um that was interesting but wow sony vegas is so much easier and faster to use i could create that effect in a second in sony why do people use final cut pro? it's so monotonous? And i'm no expert at all i'm not even that good at sony vegas i just started using it really.

  • @kindahokey Final Cut Pro is used for real films and other stuff. If you are handy with the program, you can buy a special shortcut keyboard and you can make things lot faster!

  • @kindahokey Final cut pro may be slightly more long winded but is industry standard and is massively featured and versatile. With quite a bit of practise you can get stunning results with FCP.

  • @editmad Yeah i looked up stuff on it and most of the people that said they were actually in the industry preferred vegas but obviously had to go with FCP because it's a given. Most of them basically said that FCP was just marketed more efficiently. So yeah if u r going into the industry FCP but if u wanna make great vids quickly and efficiently go with vegas.

  • murrrr *wishes i had a mac now XD*

  • @chaoskitty1256

    Why?

    This is MUCH easier and faster on a pc.

    I just tried it in vegas and it took me about 4 minutes.

  • @gosstony well this took me 10 minutes to show in a fairly slow tutorial - so 4 minutes to do it is probably well within reason for Final Cut.

  • @provideoschool

    4 minutes to figure out how to do it and do it for the first time.

    It's really a lot easier in vegas.

    Same results for ~ 1/2 the price.

  • @gosstony tony I see your point - and Vegas is great and all. Final Cut doesn't exactly bill itself as the fastest NLE to get accomplished every video trick. But the fact of the matter is to some people with FCP, Vegas is not an option so there's still some value in learning how to do this.

  • @provideoschool Im not attacking the video, at leist not intentionaly.

    I was responding to the coments that people were leaving saying that they needed to switch to mac to achieve these results. If you have a mac, yes, use FCP.

    I was just advising people against switching only because they thought that these features are only available on a mac.

  • @provideoschool Additionally, Final Cut Pro has WAY more features then vegas, although vegas is quite easy because its easy to use (my 11 year old son can use it).

  • @gosstony Have a Mac, it´s the best

  • Comment removed

  • @gosstony

    It takes 30 seconds to do in Final Cut

  • @NjallPiano Takes 30 seconds to do in Final Cut? He said by himself 4 minutes min. And 10 minutes to show.

  • EDIUS RULEZ!

  • dis is da shit

  • very helpful - thanks!

  • most media channels use finalcut . I think this why ppl interest of finalcut .

  • is there anyway not to have to render every clip? because i am always running out of space

  • @jackaboonie dont render all the time.. usually i render it one shot when i finish everything.. plus if u have so many render files... sometimes ur machine could hand.. well that happens to me :p

  • to not need to render each slip after you do each little change, you will need a camera that records to DV instead of a flash card.

  • im actually getting the 27 inch imac on black friday!!! i consider myself the luckiest in the world!! untill i want something else and have to earn money

  • i wish you all the very best with your new 27 inch imac.i have the 24 inch early 2009 imac and i just love it.this is the first imac ive had after having about 8 pc,s to date including the HP M8170 my last pc.

  • I have my 24 inch iMac as well. SUPER happy with it. And the best part about macs: they last like, 5 times longer than PC's do.

  • thats great to know they last longer than the pc,s,i just love mine,thinking of upgrading the ddr3 ram in mine from 4gb to 8gb but its like £430.00 GB pounds here.

  • a PC lasts an average of 2 years (If you are using it for gaming etc.) and a good gaming system that will last long is about 2-3000 (same as an iMac)

    a $3000 PC will last you about 4 years if you treat it well/give it the occasional upgrade

    Macs can last as long as the hardware is there. the OS is so streamlined, as long as you have an intel based machine, you can get the latest OS and you can run most of the programs. I know people with macs that are about 8 years old and they still run fine.

  • bull shit dude.. you dunno shit bout pc's then.. go do some research buddy... i still have the old school IBM's they work perfect... no upgrades. n you shouldnt be talkin.. macs are there cuz of pc's.. macs have intel processors in them.. n guess what.. intel is from pc buddy...

  • "a PC lasts an average of 2 years (If you are using it for gaming etc.)" you cannot play games of today on a computer from the 80's. Surf the web? depends on the site. Text processing? Yes. game? No, not without an upgrade. Windows came out in april 1984. The original mac came out in Jan. 1984. Now, there were computers before that, obviously, but these were the first computers with a graphic interface And intel is from IBM, not Microsoft. Intel sells their chips to who buys them.

  • dude.. nannaaa.. you got it all wrong.. what you use? wikipedia? lol... you phail... ive been using this exact same computer (pc) for over 5 years now and non stop gameplay on it.. the only uprgrade i got on it was to get a better monitor which has nothing to do with the actual tower... and btw.. mac did not come out before pc.. and intel is not a chip,its a processor...

  • and mac uses intel because they know that they themselves cant make anything better, and mac uses other computers to make there "one of a kind" mac... and i tried playing gta 4 on my oldschool pc and it works... but its a little slow from the other games ive been playing on it but thats all good... so why dont you fuck off from making bullshit comments and go do somemore of ur gay ass videos instead of making bullshit knowitall comments =) ur from the east.. no wonder ur a knowitall.. friggen

  • intel is a fucking processor chip you dumbass, it is not! a pc, the way pcs are today, i wouldn't doubt that frito lay makes your shit.

  • read closely dumbfuck.. i did mention that intel is a processor chip.. n who asked you to butt in and be a smart ass? why dont you go back to sucking ur girlfriends cock instead of butting in on convos that dont apply to you....

  • cheese a shape :D

  • is Final Cut Pro better than Sony Vegas? I have a mac, I hate imovie, so I'm getting a windows laptop so i can buy sony vegas. BUT...I was wondering if Final Cut Pro is better???

  • yeah its the industry standard

  • Well can it do stuff like what Sony Vegas can? Or better?

  • Yeah it can do eveyrthing Sony Vegas can plus some. Also by the time you buy a good pc and sony vegas you will have already payed for: FInal Cut Pro for video editing, Motion for advanced text effects 3d and more, sound track pro for advanced audio editing, compressor for exporting to different for mats including blu-ray, and dvd studio pro for dvd authoring

  • very true. I think I will take your word for it! Thnx :)

  • Avid is actually but Final Cut is pretty popular for Independent editors and is sometimes used for major studio movies. I like Premiere better personally.

  • avid used to be the industry standard until about 5 years ago. Now everyone is switching to going digital the whole way and using final cut studio

  • What are you talking about? The vast majority of movies made are still film. I'd guess that 95% of the movies you see trailers for or see in theaters are film. Unless you mean digital as in the editor, last I checked Avid is still computer based.

  • yes i mean didgital as the editior but people just don't use real film and splicing any more. Almost everyone accepts final cut pro as being the industry standard. Look at almost all film schools, they teach you final cut pro

  • I'm going to film school...

  • which one????

  • Columbia Chi.

  • never heard of it. schools like nyu and full sail are teaching final cut courses and less and less avid courses

  • Well it's a pretty famous art school...

  • i keep getting a red error box when i try to load one of my video clips into the timeline it pulls a red box in the canvas and says display univalibe im on a mac if this helps any

  • mine says unrendered when i play it

  • press (command+R) to render. Or go to "Sequence" at the top, then Render All...and click Both.

  • is this for windows ?

  • No macs, it sucks that they dont have it for PC..

  • if u want to do professional stuff, buy mac. its simple

  • Thats a pretty big misconception. You can do everything you can do on a Mac on PCs.

  • no the other way around, why? Because you can run windows on a mac

  • Why buy a Mac to run Windows when you can get a PC with better hardware to do it? Besides you can install OSX on a PC too.

  • yeah, you just have to hope you dont have any malfunctions.

  • and break a bunch of liscence agreements. there are two, legal, ways to run PC on a mac. one, illegal, way to run OSX on a PC

    Now, yes, PC's are cheaper, but when using them for gaming/editing etc. they don;t last as long as a mac. I know people who use their macs professionally and they have been using them for about 5-8 years.

  • i love macs! but then again, im a tool, sooo,,,

  • is editing in Final cut pro the same as it is in sony vegas I don't have a PC & I liked sony vegas but I can't get sony vegas to crossover to my mac so I need help with final cut pro.

  • i have a editing question for you or whoever can answer it.

    I use Final Cut Pro, and sometimes when I import files, like a .mov file the audio is missing but if i play the file in quicktime the audio is there, also - if i import a file, that i downloaded off the internet, the video size is a lot smaller than the other clips i have.

    do you know how i could fix this?

  • try to convert the file to DV format, its eady to fiund a conversor, when its converted you'll have to render audio only once and so you'll be able to edit it without rendering and with sound

  • is this available for macs? can i use it on the pc?

  • Macs yes PC no.

  • I just bought a used mac. I just found Final Cut Pro!!!! I am very excited now I found some tutorials!!!

  • they had already bought it on the mac? or did u buy it? its like $999

  • in the top left corner how do u make the apple logo blue

  • Cool video! Just getting into FCP, awesome piece of software

  • where can i buy final cut pro? i've been to a lot of stores here and not one of them even knew what final cut pro was :S

  • apple store duh

  • buy it online at apple website or at an apple store. But other stores sell Final Cut as well.

  • Hey man thanks alot

  • thaks to contect me
