I would love any suggestions and feedback. I have to do a number of these for work and am trying to get better at them. This is my first football player profile. The footage is a mix of HD from my HMC 150 and SD footage from other sources - their coverage of the games. Not sure if mixing the two...

Hi. I seemed to have done something that separates all my clips from the audio automatically when I drag them into the timeline. Even when I start a new project, this function is still automatically set up. I know how to link and unlink clips but I'd like to not have to link them every time. Any...

I have never had this problem before. I completed a project and am trying to export it to an mov file but Final Cut keeps exporting the last clip I worked with. I have the sequence highlighted in my browser. I have closed and reopened the program. I exported another sequence with not problems...

I am working on a montage with music underneath it. I have the music in place but when I add a clip to the timeline, when inserting the clip, it slices and moves my music track. Any idea how to stop this from happening? Thank you!

Does anyone know how to link two audio clips so that I can move them around without having to link them every time? I know how to link and unlink clips but for some reason, the audio will not stay linked. I can link the two clips, then move them but if I have to move them later, they become...

I am having a lot of trouble finding the best way to render my videos or "make the movie" in FCP for the internet. For our website at work I need an MP4 file. I've been exporting my file to Quicktime to create a .mov then using MPEG Streamclip to convert the file to an MP4 but it's pausing...

Here is the first project I edited with FCP 7 and my first attempt at shooting DOF with my HMC150. I know this is far from perfect. I completely stumbled my way through this. Any feedback on shooting, editing, whatever you see would be great! Using FCP was a challenge but I got through it! I...

Some of my media disconnected when I, like a big dummy, changed the location of the files. I was able to reconnect the raw footage but the subclips will not reconnect. I googled this and found a few answers that say the subclips should automatically reconnect when the master clip is reconnected...

When layering video in the timeline, for example, putting b-roll over a voice track, is there any way to view the change without having to re-render every time. I am used to being able to see my changes to decide if I like them but every time I make even the smallest change, like moving a clip...

Why God, WHY, did I switch to FCP? So, I signed up for Lynda.com. I've watched gobs of tutorials but doing the simplest task in Final Cut is impossible. Just when I think I can do something, some other annoying problem pops up. I went through the tedious process of watching my footage and...

Wow, do I miss Sony Vegas. I'm just learning FCP and I'm finding it really clunky and slow but I'm stuck with it, so I'm trying to make the adjustment. There are two things I would like to be able to do in FCP but not sure if it's possible. 1 - I would like to set my magic mouse to be able to...

Hi. I have read that this answer is posted somewhere but I have googled and searched everywhere and I can't find any information on how to get film DOF with my HMC150 - other than get a lens. From what I've read, a little DOF is possible. I'm new to filming and have been using the camera in...
