FCPX help and answers

No one ever said get EVERY FCP tutorial from Ripple, just the first one, "Apple Pro Video Series: Final Cut Pro X" which is only $29.99. If you did any tutorial series and still don't know the stuff you're asking, that was really inadequate training. Everything you've asked and much, much, much more are available from this one course at Ripple. Everything you've asked and more is in that one course from Ripple.

Ripple and macProVideo are the best around, nothing else can come close to the quality, comprehensiveness and professionalism you get from them.
 
I sampled a bit of the free Izzy Video training, but chose another route. I subscribed to lynda.com and thought the training there on FCPX was very good. If you have the time, you can subscribe for one month ($25) do all the FCPX tutorials, then cancel. I've kept my subscription because I also plan to do their Motion 5 training.
 
Lynda.com is good, but I don't consider it the best. macProVideo.com is the same price, and Micheal Wohl was one of the original designers of Final Cut Pro. They hold VERY high standards for their trainers there. I do training videos and articles for them, and know first hand what their quality standards are. Them and Ripple can't be touched by anyone else.

And both offer freebies. macProVideo via The HUB, and Ripple Training via their MacBreak Studio podcast.

macProVideo has TONS of top shelf quality training, also, plus a very well run forum.

If $30 is too much for you to spend in order to learn something "right" the first time, well, I don't know what to say.

I buggered off, didn't I?
No one said get EVERY FCP tutorial and you're the first to politely recommend "just THE FIRST ONE."
I've scoured the Ripple site and see no "Apple Pro Video Series: Final Cut Pro X."
I also looked at Macprovideo and they seem to be offering a monthly subscription now but they seem to be covering most of the stuff that I got from Izzy.

Thanks everyone - probably should have done the project with 7 and taken my time learning X.
 
Just FYI. The Apple Pro User certification test is the "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X" book, word for word. That book is the test, the test is that book. Wording, phrasing, terminology, workflow, it's all that book. Even the visual examples in the test are the graphics from that book.

That's REALLY great to know. I assume that you're talking about Level 1 certification, right? Does Level 2 certification correspond to APTS Advanced Editing in the same word-for-word way?
 
Yes, Level 2 test is the advanced APTS book. The books are written specially for Apple authorized training and testing, totally. The Motion test is word for word the ATPS Motion 5 book.
 
Hi, Can I ask a very basic file importing question on this thread? I am very new to this site and FCPX and video editing in general. I have a GH1 and with 100mb max latitude patch shooting AVCHD 25fps.
Otherwise please direct me to the correct forum please! Thanks everyone
 
Trouble importing AVCHD footage

Trouble importing AVCHD footage

I have been using FCPX for a few months now and have had no problems importing footage from a Canon XA10 recorded onto an SD card. Usually if I hit the import from camera the footage would import with no problems. I am getting the message now that there are "no importable files" whether I try import from camera or import files. The only thing that I can think of is that I updated FXPX to 10.4 ? The camera records in AVCHD (mts files that play fine in VLC player) and the XA10 is listed as a compatible camera in FCP help.
 
Sorry BenB for my late reply, I am using OSX 10.7.3 but I have been able to solve the problem. The SD card must have been corrupted or have incompatible file structure somehow. The Canon XA10 has two card slots so I copied scenes individually onto a new card and that was able to be read by FCPX with no problems. If I tried copying all the footage at once then it did not work. Possibly the problem stems from the previous user of the camera (it is a university camera) formatted the card on the computer rather than in camera? That is speculation as I don't know the previous user, but I will be careful to format all cards in camera, even if they seem to have been formatted before filming again.
