Final Cut Pro X Tutorials
Dec 30, 2011
As 2011 comes to a close, I find I am between video
edit projects and thought it might be the time to
consider upgrading from the very familiar Final Cut
Express to the new Final Cut Pro X. With an entirely
new GUI and workflow, it seemed a bit overwhelming.
While Apple shows workshops for FCPX, there are none
offered at either the Tampa or Brandon stores. Before
deciding to stay put and start my next project with
the tried-and-true FCE, I did a Google search for
FCPX Tutorials. One of the top hits was to an
incredibly useful and well made series of online
video tutorials by Izzy Hyman. If you are looking
for an overview to get you well on your way to
using FCPX effectively, point your browser to
IzzyVideo.com for the free series of 25 lessons.
You will not be disappointed! You can pay to
download local copies of the training and
exercise material if you want to take it with
you on location. For just a little bit more, you
can buy a 6 month membership and have access to
over 150 training videos that cover not just
editing but camera work, lighting and audio too.
So in summary, I'll paraphrase recent credit

Learning FCPX basics in an entertaining way, free. Using FCPX, $300. Adding Compressor, $49. Being able to replace Toast for producing DVDs and BDs, priceless!
