One of the most controversial product launches ever - Final Cut Pro X
This first part of a two part show takes you through the basics of FCP X and shows you how you can easily upgrade your iMovie of Final Cut Express skills. Heck, it’s even good enough for Pro videographers too!
Despite howls of criticism from the top end “broadcast” pro video editors, Apple have, in fact, released a stunning video editing app.
Final Cut Pro X is full of cutting edge features, wrapped up in an all new user interface, built to perform with full 64 bit support. If you don’t need the “missing” import and export features (and most people don’t), Apple have given iMovie and Final Cut Express users a brilliant and relatively affordable upgrade path.
The web has been awash with some (and some not so much) justified criticism of the latest flagship video editing package from Apple. However, these criticisms really only impact the top video editors in the Movie and TV industry - those who need to interwork with other industry professionals or use complex multi-cam rigs.
Most prosumer users, currently limited by iMovie or struggling with Final Cut Express, now have a valid upgrade path to the Pro level package.
Apple have built FCP X from the ground up with performance and capability in mind. Built on a full 64bit architecture, FCP X is extremely speedy and uses background processing for many tasks, allowing you to get on with editing.
The new interface is both simple and complex. Simple enough to allow you to get in and get on with some rudimentary editing. as well as allowing you to use its more complex features as and when required.
Add in some breathtaking new features such as Auditions, Audi Sync (my favourite), Auto Colour matching, drag and drop Retiming, full keyframe support, magnetic timeline... to name but a few, FCP X is the new foundation for the future of video editing.
This week’s tutorial takes you through the basics of FCP X explaining some of the core concepts behind it.
The tutorial also takes you through

Since I thought the response was so great, I bought a green screen of my own so we can do these once a week! Do you know how to edit these videos? http://chris.pirillo.com .

The Mac App Store is coming on the 6th of January 2011. I'm super excited! This is my first try at making an 'Apple Advert'. I made it all myself - even the crappy music lol. I'll have to keep workin' on it ;) but it's hard when you can't use copyrighted music.

Here's my first video that I've put together with iMovie on the mac. It's a very simple editor, but for vlogging it seems to do the trick. Almost a year ago, I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas with San Francisco's premiere avant-cabaret troupe, the Vau De Vire Society . The organizers of the Vegoose festival asked them to put together a cabaret tent, and they put together the coolest show ever with lots of other acts from the Bay Area and elsewhere. To kick things off, they had a little parade through the festival grounds, led by Fishbone's Angelo Moore. If you'd like to compare, here's an unedited version of this that I posted on YouTube.

Attempt to make this text from Soundbook visual. The process didn't go as expected. All kinds of problems with video, imovie wouldn't read my camera, I don't really know how to make this visual right now anyway, etc. So, watch only the first 10 seconds, then, just listen all the way through the end, including a clip from the song used under Fair Use.

I thought I'd try taking my camera out of the house today and face my fears because, as Neal (my first commenter!) said, if I don't use my camera it may as well be stolen.
So what better place to try it out at then the art museum? It's been a long while since I've been there, but this was by far the best time I've ever had mulling over old art. It was a bit uncomfortable for me to be talking to a camera in such a public place, and sometimes you will notice I completely lose my train of thought and talk in circles -- I think time and exposure is the cure for it.
This was a great exercise for me though, to take the camera and make a trip to a museum have multi-dimensions in the visit, the art, the experience. I've discovered that even though my trip's goal was to look at art, I experienced the trip to and from, the interactions there, and the thoughts provoked by the pieces. I hope you all can get out of it what I was trying to convey about my awe.
until next week,
bethany
ps. anyone know where I can get a cheap copy of final cut pro? this whole, iMovie editing is driving me bonkers.

This is my first video. It was shot with a borrowed camcorder in hi acht. Ediiting was done manually on a VHS recorder. Later on it was imported int iMovie and some editting was done with titles and sound. Its a family video and part of a tour we made through the usa
The 8 mm video format refers informally to three related videocassette formats for the NTSC and PAL/SECAM television systems.
Their user-base consisted mainly of amateur camcorder users, although they also saw important use in the professional field.
In 1985 Sony of Japan introduced the Handycam, one of the first Video8 cameras with commercial success. Much smaller than the competition's VHS and Betamax video cameras, Video8 became very popular in the consumer camcorder market.
