FinalCutPro-X tutorials

[Gunleik Groven]

Hi

My son is getting into video-stuff, and have done the leap from iMovie to FCP-X

In some of the reviews of FCP-X I have raid, and in Marks and others comments, I have seen that people have had good use of "following the tutorials".

I have hjad the impression that this is an apple-supplied package, but is it?
(G, who haven't gone there yet)

For me, the hardest part of learning any GUI is getting a handle on the nomenclature. Back when I learned computers, everything was text-based, so you learned names first, then techniques, making it easy to at least formulate a question. Apple used to have a "Pro" series of books and tutorials, but that was back in FCP7 days. I don't know of any Apple-sponsored resources for FCPX (other than the discussion community).

That said, there are tutorials on the WolfCrow blog (http://wolfcrow.com/blog/how-to-imp...o-x-part-one-the-basics-and-project-settings/), Larry Jordan's website (http://www.larryjordan.biz/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/), many on Creative COW (http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/fcpxtechnique), and of course, YouTube. When I need to learn something, dive into the manual to get the name of the thing I'm trying to understand, then I Google for that thing plus some description of what I'm trying to do.

If I had to guess, it would be the Larry Jordan's are the canonical tutorials, but I could be wrong. Lots of famous names (many on REDUSER) in the Creative COW community.

Larry Jordan and ripple training are both good. Ripple training might me a tad more suited to a younger person, Larry Jordan's voice is easy to listen to.

^^^ Speaking of REDUSER members who have published valuable FCPX materials on Creative COW...

Another vote for Ripple Training. And maybe it's just me, but I can't stand listening to Larry Jordan for more than about 30 seconds. LOL

Ripple's first set of tutorials back in 2011 were awesome.

I havent touched one in the last two years (I teach it at local college) but there are some awesome specific ones that help with special workflows such as RED.

I teach all three NLEs and I find FCPX to be the easiest to learn if you are starting cold of course.
