Basic Final Cut Express Tutorial

[OrangeAvACounty]

what is the difference between final cut pro and final cut express?

[JaydenPeacock187]

ITS 7 O'CLOCK!!!!!!

[BigDDe]

What MAC Book minimum should I get to run final cut express? Looking at buying a used year or 2 old one.

[Rayquaza128]

After having a video exported from iMovie, how would you add a transition in the middle of your clip? If you can't, how would you split the clip?

[TheMischiefTV]

@Rayquaza128 you can split the clip with b i believe or you can use the split tool that looks like a razor blade

[peachy11100]

is this free?

[mansfieldproduction1]

@peachy11100 no it's expensive!

[MrBananaOne1]

How do you flip a video clip?

[belligerentnature]

How do you stabilize shaky video on Final Cut Express?

I'm currently using Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11. Should I get this instead? (I got the trial ver. of vegas)

[jamspunk]

Would have been nice to see you create a project from scratch instead of opening a recent one.

[circularsean]

Hey dnoman56 I was just wondering how to get your canvas and timeline back when you close them in a project. I just x'd out of them and can't get them back up. I have tried the window menu and they just show up as grey and will not click. Thinking of throwing my mac out the window need help.

[tsm767]

@Sofi9Media you can only install it 2 times? if i bought a used version, would i be able to sell it again?

[Zooroonies]

how much does final cut express cost? is it as expensive as sony vegas? sony vegas is like $600

[Sofi9Media]

@Zooroonies final cut express is around $200 in canada. try downloading it on torrent or something if you dont want to pay.

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media i live in the us, it probbably costs like $100 down here cuz everything is more expensive in canada. is final cut express a disc you install or do u download it off the internet

[Sofi9Media]

@Zooroonies ye it is. you get a disc, install it onto your computer and you have it. you can only install it only 2 times.

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media cool. idk i might get it

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media cool. idk i might get it

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media can u use it on a pc or is it just for mac computers?

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media is it only for mac computers? does it work on PCs too?

[Sofi9Media]

@Zooroonies ye, it's made by apple and only for macs.

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media thats weak. i guess i'll have to get sony vegas

[Sofi9Media]

@Zooroonies hey man, sony vegas is sick too!

[Zooroonies]

@Sofi9Media yea it is

[MrBAZAN88]

Was wondering if someone can help me with a quick question?

When I export my FCE project into quicktime the slo-mo and fast-mo parts are

messed up. By "messed up" I mean they have a lot of lines and stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[ODSTSPORE]

IT'S SEVEN O'CLOCK

[vidzR4kidz]

puberty blows

[ThisIsMrNeil]

"To hear is to forget.

To see is to remember.

To do is to understand."

Anyone who uses FCE doesn't need this video, and anyone thinking  of upgrading from iMovie wouldn't have a clue what you are on about. Why didn't you work on an actual video? Then I might have the faintest idea what I just listened to.

[jerseyman9080]

@ThisIsMrNeil I am agree with you.

[ThisIsMrNeil]

@MADESTrecords

You'd think if he's showing off his knowledge of the buttons and dials on this thing he'd be able to use it to edit his own video!

[tsm767]

hi uploader,

i am a imovie user planning to upgrade to a more advanced editor. do you reccomend i purchase this or pro x?

[fijnzijn]

How can i get that music preview, need it for time my video's on it !??

[ENFANTTTerrible]

[candyxx2810]

[HeapsGoodProductions]

[MinecraftFerNoobz]

[soicyveteran1]

[itsjasonjamie]

Do yo have any suggestions on what i can do? i have a mac book duo pro with 2.5ghz and 4 gigs of memory and a 500gig internal hard drive. If u have any suggestions please let me know!!

[JPJOSHUAPERRETT]

[kkkkkbbkk]

[AmandaBell123]

I'm sorry, but I still don't get it. Is there any way you could put up a tutorial on making music videos using Final Cut Express 4? If you see my channel, you will see why I need to learn! (I am currently using iMovie '08)

[Irakli008]

what does v1 and v2 mean in the timeline???

[Maximxvmax]

Awesome job!

[hotmetaldobermans]

hahaha.  this is awesome.

[lynnearlyriser]

I was watching your tut at 4:00pm, then I heard "it's seven o' clock". I have my mac set with the same voice. OMG, I thought I was losing my mind, where did the 3 hours go?

still LOL

Your dock is crazy - unless, of course you lost your app folder.

[sortofawesome]

Its seven o'clock.

[lappamara]

Oh my gawd you have sooo many apps. xD How do I make it so only one part of a clips goes into the thingy that you use to edit the clips and stuff. also when I was trying to use it there was a window that kept saying Unrendered, how do I get rid of that ._.

[7bugnog7]

@lappamara Render it

[esto1121]

Great Video!!!! please Subscribe!!!

[JoeyFudd]

At time 4:32, you show the button for "markers" but never say what they are or why to use them. That's not a tutorial. You draw in viewers under false pretenses. This is a sham. At 5:30, you show how to edit in the canvas, which contradicts what you said earlier. You said the viewer box was to edit and the canvas was to see the results of it. So which time were you mistaken? Use an example to explain by doing. C'mon! This video shows you don't know or can't explain it. Needs a redo.

[danemrstrm579]

Are you a girl or a little doy no pedo

[Poffester]

Could someone help me? My audio and tool box are missing. How can I get them back?

[b3ndyb3n]

all I help with is editing the dam thing I to get rid of the UNRENDERED thingy mergiger I help plz reply!

[ARHCxXxOO7]

Um I like to make trailers and stuff, ive been using imovie and realize that final cut pro would be too complicated, is it? is it possible to put up a feature length film and edit it and stuff or not?

[SuddenMovieImpact]

@ARHCxXxOO7 saw your comment, it perfectly possible infact the final cut programs have been used by:

SEDUFF AND TOMSHORTCUT (some of the best editors on youtube)

[lappamara]

@ARHCxXxOO7 Lol I think it is... I tried using FCP after using iMovie and I almost threw the computer out the window. xD I know it is possible since my friend uses it all the time but I could never figure it out... sorry this comment probably doesn't help. xD

[reidmyster09]

dont u mean audio meters uurrrrrrrrr

[xWhutamelon]

waitt, mine says unrendered in the canvas. its just from isight..?? help??

[TheSkillzV3]
