Editing in Final Cut Pro - Tutorial test by DJ

[MrChelsearules]

how do you get full screen in fce

[CollabArts]

Did u use the Mac Book Pro 13". I´m on buying this thing, is there a nice working Flow by doing Work in After Effects?

[metaphoricrocky]

That's not a tutorial you fuckwit. That's just you playing us your shitty footage.

[nakedvolleyball]

@metaphoricrocky TRUTH! But he's a cuntmunch.

[hhhhhey3]

for MigiNoob-FinalCut Pro is more advanced in editing, and is way easier when you learn the material. Where imovie is sort of a playful editing, and it is most of the time just easier. Used more for Middle School kids. Final Cut Pro is used by many HollyWood Films.

[mangpedro]

AVID is better

[Tobie2]

I would be interested in tutorials thank you :O)

[muhdalikhan]

Wat is this bro ??? u call it editing :P

[smartmexican010]

[360elite4free1]

[360elite4free1]

@nakedvolleyball lolwhat?

[MigiNoob]

what is the difference between this and imovie????

[drumline249]

There is a huge difference, not to be rude or anything. Final Cut Pro is a professional editing software...to put it mildly. iMovie is a simple press one button and it makes a movie for you. Hollywood films are made using Final Cut Pro.

[nakedvolleyball]

@drumline249 Hollywoord movies suck

[CenseSay]

i have FCPro but i only have one problem...i bought frickin JVC...some of you more avid (no i dont mean the brand name "avid") film editing guys out there probably know what that means... I HATE .TOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[raposabrasil]

I HATE .TOD toooooooooo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[martinXY]

MPEG Streamclip may be able to help you. It's free and is a very handy tool for any editor.

[cameramanjosh]

fred uses this editing program

[justice4all15]

And the only thing he edits, is his voice.

[EA060]

Final Cut is almost like Adobe. So I don't like them both. I like more Avid Xpress, and sometimes Avid Liquid. But, Avid Xpress it has a more human interface than Adobe and Final Cut, and it's easyer to work in. Anyway, you could use also Vegas Sonic Foundry, or Ulead for editing and creating DVD's. And not forget about Windows Movie Maker :)))) The idea is that if you have imagination you could use any editing software. Use what you like!

[swetrich]

sony bought out sonic foundry a while ago and ulead is not as pro

vegas has some good manual control (check out my kany west parody) and windows moviemakers fine for editing with no effects cuz the effects suck

[EA060]

So, Avid is the best! :) Merry Christmas!

More tutorials for Mac :-) Great Job

[iciclecandy]

I use FCPro but am having trouble creating good quality DVD's. Have tried many formats and compressions, incl. uncompressed. Am using a G5, (Mac OS X, version 10.3.9.) and use an external DVD burner that runs on Toast. While all looks great on FCPro, once exported to Quicktime, the lines and edges etc look jagged. The uncompressed 10bit videos look clearer and crisper, but have fine horizontal lines throughout the frames. Any advise appreciated!

[LATVIA53911]

PC could burn and blow up if installed this

Ma dad is Mac-Maniac :)

[iamalon]

PLEASE MAKE THESE TURTORIALS!

[sevan96]

what its the titel at the song?

[njchad]

i bet these avid fans secretly work for avid

[videosmithlaguna]

Avid is a much better product. I have used both for years and I find the Avid much more of an easier work flow. FCP has alot of glitzy things but when you mature as an editor you use very little effects and concentrate on the storytelling. Plus for you students who really want to work as a pro editor in Hollywood FCP is not used in the giant POST houses. Learn both and you can work at any end of the spectrum but your FCP jobs will be lower end. Plus Macs crash all the time.

[ryangfilm]

I have a Mac and it's never crashed. As for you trash talking FCP - I guess David Fincher should have been notified before he edited Zodiac on it. Or Anthony Minghella when he cut Cold Mountain on it? Or Zack Snyder when he had 300 cut on it. Or the MANY MANY other professionals cutting high budget movies on the system. Please know what you're talking about when you post.

[Whiteoverblue]

Exactly!

[quentinsk8s]

They used FCP to cut offline in the field. After each scene shot they would do a rough cut on a laptop with FCP. They would transfer the list to a AvID adrendaline to do the final cut which could be from high definition video or a 35mm film transfer. Many student movies and extreme low budgets are cut with HDV on FCP. Remember big post houses have millions invested in Avid and they are not going to get rid of them until they pay themselves off.

[ryangfilm]

And can you also cite your sources?

[Whiteoverblue]

"Macs crash all the time?" I have seen around 500 PCs that crash for every mac that crashes! and that was because someone spilled coka cola on it; Otherwise, the ratio would had been 10^12:1

[videojeffhh]

dude macs never crash..had mine 8 years now and not one problem...also...not a glitch yet in FCP

[jonlambert76]

As much as this isn't a place for this type of discussion, I'd just like to chime in on the fact that the sh*t's basically all the same, and I've definitely had Macs and PCs crash by similar ratios. It's just a freakin' brand name people! Gotta pull your heads outta the muck! This is like a bunch of 'tards arguing over Ford vs Chevy. Anyway, good tutorial - that's what we're here for right?

[jimdEth]

what was the point of that?

[pedropethemovie]

all the crosses were freaky

[phantomofopera91]

That was pretty smooth HD playback considering u were also screen capturing!

What kind of mac do u use?

I'm thinking of getting the new iMac 20" 2.4 ghz core 2 duo.. with 1 gb of ram (i will be upgrading the ram with some off the shelve rather than pay 400 for apple to do it)..

will this b good for hdv?

[cro200]

yeah man, im gonna watch ur tutorials! u should do more! thx

[Garleon]

A V I D.....!!!!!! T H E B E S T...!!!!

[obe3]

hey ya i also used to use avid. i used liquid edition 7. but the power if final cut is much more especially in the studio pack. but i must say i wish final C Studio had the user friendly avid style. beacsue AVID is definately the easiest program to use

[krutch43]

I've got a suggestion!!!!

if you know a way to export full 1080i HD video using Export>Quicktime Conversion....it seems I may loose a little something there.....Compressor is fabulous, but I only use that to export an entire project, not single clips.

[vidpro]

I'm a bit unsure if you're offering a suggestion or asking a question

[PragmaticEncephalon]

I ot all adobe productts, logic, final cut, and iwork for free on limewire

[sergey1122]

how

[ToszeDysan]

bad sound

[vladster7272]

i got a question does anyone know of a free program were you can cut a videos size? also that works with winodws vista? thanks.

[DancingHeather]

final cut pro needs mac pro.. why u have tutorial saying almost nothing about editing.. you should have made more complex tutorial... Im gonna buy it when I get mac pro

[lightthatblinds]

The entire Final Cut Studio 2 runs smoothly on intel iMacs - the older, white ones and the new aluminum ones. It also works very well with a G5.

A Mac Pro is completely unecessary. It would be nice to have, but its like having the biggest cinema display: nice, but not really required.

[DancingHeather]

jep, I got it into my macbook.. :)

[lightthatblinds]

Yeah, I haven't seen it on a Macbook, but I know it runs fine on a Macbook Pro, and the new Macbooks are really nice notebooks!

[lightthatblinds]

To finish the previous: If you have the money for a Pro, by all means: but if don't have $3,000 to throw around, get yourself an iMac: they run for great prices!

Also, the student discount for final cut studio is amazing. $699 directly from Apple! It was only $499 at the University of Alabama supply store!

[DancingHeather]

jes I got student discount as well, its so good that Apple makes discounts and supports students!

[lightthatblinds]

Yeah. And Adobe offers GREAT student discounts too, for all your photoshop and after effects needs! :-D

[putz35]

Bahah... nice freeplay music track

[HxXFromFirstToLastXx]

just download it. lol

[Fantikerz]

Final Cut makes Vegas look amateur.=/

[GenCollado]

Vegas is amateur, actually :P

[Nostaw21]

how do ibuy that program?

[macman13]

go to apples website and caugh up $1,200. Or pay 150 dollars for final cut EXPRESS which has most of the same features

[VictoryProductions91]

What's this song?

[ytask]

I believe its a royalty-free track we have at work .. I can't remember now! hehe I'll see if i can find it if you want it bro :)

[Chilldogg]

FCP is awesome!

[ytask]

Sure is! :)

[musosf]

Would love to see such tutorials. I'm a Mac-head running FCExpress (and SnapzProX, way to go!) and just fumbling along myself. Would love some tips from a fellow YouTuber. Lots of people on here talk about the PC applications, we Mac-heads need our fair share. Thanks! (P.S. tips on how to optimize FCPro export for YouTube would be great)

[macman13]

ive got some check my profile

[LorelaiLeigh]

you definatly need to do a tutorial on final cut pro for those of us you have the program, but sadly don't know how to work it, haha

[onlyafriend]

It's a cute pro better than CakeWalk Sonar, i'd like to learn one of them i have a keyboard , and electric guitar and i'd like to record to play piano, and after hear what i recorded and after record guitar by myself and finaly voice.

[MattPyrch]

that would be awsome because my next laptop is going to be a mac and it would be great to learn how to use it haha

[thecomo]

cept cs blow

[rabbitsbabe18]

cool looks similar to what i use.... adope promiere pro...

[adammcclean]

I use Premiere and Final Cut Pro, and they are very similar. Final Cut Pro is a lot quicker than Premiere, but it is a little harder to get used to. I mainly use macs now so i would say Final Cut Pro is my favorite, but they are both awesome programmes.

[lightthatblinds]

You know what? While I still am a FCP user, I started with Adobe Premiere Pro, and I respect the software. PCs suck for video, but that is good software. A lot of folks hate on it, but Adobe is good. PREMIERE sucked, but Premiere Pro is great.

[yt4dummies]

Thanks buddy! It's a pro application called Snapz Pro X!

[DarkBeam]

Sweet a mac!

[vidpro]

yeah! :) you bet ;)
