ok - first time filmer/first time mac owner/first time FCP user - no manuals. how do i get the stuff i recorded from my dvx player to my hard drive and then on to FCP. i know its probably simple as all hell, but i have no clue. HELP.

ps - and feel free to make jokes (stupid rookie)..... but i got to start somewhere.
thanks

Plug you cam into computer via firewire. Under file, select "log and capture". Click play in the capture window. Your camera should start playing. Find the place on you tape that you want to capture by FF or RR. Click play again. Then click capture now. That's the easiest way to get you started.

FCP help (top menu) is pretty loaded with info, so check it out.

EDIT: also check out kenstone.net

And when not using pirated software you actually get manuals

true, if it were pirated. but if i buy some computer off some dude and i throw him some extra bucks for his original disks without a lost manual then your statement would be irrelevant. but if your making a generalization and not an ASSumption then excuse the explanation.

That said, all manuals can be accessed through the "help" function in FCP. Searchable pdfs et al.
