learn final cut pro

Yeah, I rock!

Reading Final Cut Pro 5 by Larry Jordan. I know it’s old but it’s the only book the library had, and I’m too poor to afford a recent book. I use FCP at my production company already, so this goal shouldn’t take very long.

And I’m happy with it…

You know, at my last freelance job, FCP was really important and I muddled through it nearly every day. At my current job, I don’t really need it and I don’t even have it on my computer. Someday I’d like to learn how it works, but for now this goal goes in the “giving up” pile.

I don’t like to give up, but sometimes I need to…

Today on the way home from work, I bought a book about Final Cut Pro. I’m going to bring it into work and noodle around when I get a chance. It’s a huge 700+ page book, but all the smaller books didn’t have much information on my arch-nemesis—the “Edit to Tape” function.

I’m working three to four days a week at a small video production company using final cut everyday. As well as lots of other video equipment that is needed for the real world of video produciton. I did my first cut the other day and it came out pretty cool if I do say so myself. However not up to par with what I would like to be putting out in the near future. So far well worth it and I’m happy with my move in a career with video production.

It’s only worth learning if your editing digital video footage

My brother and I just got final cut pro and I want to master, maybe over the winter break.

once you get the hang of it, its really not that hard … if you computer/tech savy. if you aren’t then you may have a bit of trouble.

I finally got a membershipt to the Northwest Film Forum today.
