I have a question. Do you know how to import stills for time lapse use in fcpx? I can't seem to figure it out without having to use Quick time.

[cpukid00]

@cheesun124 Stills as in pictures? If so, you can import them like any video clip.

@TheRecon4 Are there any specific tutorials that you'd like to see?

[AllYourTech]

Can you make a tutorial doing basic stuff like cuting videos, using effects and colour correction so us begginers get learn to basics first :)

Thats just my thoughts :)
