Great Video! I give it 4 stars. . Final Cut Studio 2 is the leading software for Film & editing on the market now. It retails as 1,200 for The Mac Pro. Cory is a great guy he speaks very confident about his work. I suggest he offer more suggestions on products information and where to get them. Other than that 2 thumbs up!

Correction. Just released, FCS3 = $1000!! and btw, FCS2 was actually $1300.

with a terabite of HD space, you can load all your clips. It's not that expensive anymore.

Informative. It gave me the idea that I SHOULD start to find a "test" audience soon. I agree that a preview among friends and others first is THE way to go. Asking them in itself will empower them a little too, and help get the word out (translation: free publicity) for your project.

Hate to, but have to agree a little with 'numbnuts' post above- I think maybe bring in a little extra footage, too. I'll know soon enough- getting into my 1st project this month. Clip at -'armeeuff1' on youtube!

Wow. I disagree with most things in this video. ALWAYS use a slate, and always bring in every clip you shoot to your harddrive. You never know what little piece of a clip you can cut to in a pinch. I've cut to things that were shot prior to the director saying action, and it saved the edit.

@NumbAllOver I say bring ALL footage.... why not? I mean you shot all of that. you just have to by like an alternate hard drive like a portable one or something you can plug into the comp. but all footge is key.

Cory , great vid.

hey man its a great concept, but you gotta realise that its way more interesting if you "show" ppl how to do it, rather than tell them if thats makes sense.

ppl like the moving pictures and flashing lights!! ;)
