Video Tutorials: lynda.com



To further improve my knowledge of the Final Cut Pro X software i have been watching some of the tutorials from the website lynda.com. I find that this website is very useful for looking at everything you would possibly want to know about using the software. As there are hundreds of tutorials, i have been focusing on the tutorials in the section that is "Final Cut Pro X Essential Training". Within this section it covers -

  • Introduction 
  • Preparing your machine and the program 
  • Importing, Capturing, and Analysing Media 
  • Getting Organised and Preparing to Edit 
  • Beginning the Edit 
  • Working with Sound 
  • Advanced Editing Techniques 
  • Effects, Transitions and Generators 
  • Colour Correction 
  • Exporting and Sharing 
  • Managing Project and Media Files 
  • Customising 

I plan on watching as many of these tutorials as i can as i know that it will help me to improve with my editing skills. The videos that i have watched so far have been helpful as it introduces you to the new interface, but it also compares and shows the differences between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X. I find this helpful as i am used to editing in Final Cut Pro 7 so to be shown the differences between them and to know the changes that have been made is helpful to me. I also find that the way in which the tutorials are presented helps me to learn about the software easily because they are very visual and clear and i am a visual learner so this is the best way for me to learn.
