What type of camera did you use for this? The colors pop and the picture is nice and crisp. By the way, thank you, this was very useful because I have a macbook pro.

@spaceinvaderx Thanks! I shot it with a Panasonic GH2 DSLR with a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 prime lens. I did do a little color tweaking in FCP, mostly just increasing the saturation a little to get that extra pop. :-)

Check out my other YouTube account, "friendlymactrainer", for more tutorials! I'll probably be doing a little something on color correction soon! :-) I have to admit, I posted this video to the wrong account! I usually just use this one for fun stuff, not 'professional' stuff..

I've been trying to get FCP to play my timeline in full screen. When I esc, I couldn't get back to full screen without going back to view play all frames. Slow and looks bad. I'll try your method and hope it works. Thanks, very informative.
