Connor Crosby is a teenager who loves making short films, documentaries, comedies, and more. He knows his way around the Final Cut Studio suite and now he published his thoughts on the new FCPX:
Final Cut Pro X is a great non-linear editing application; but, it’s missing a lot of features. It’s a 1.0 version, which means things will be missing and there will be bugs. There are tons of great features such as Smart Collections, audio/video skimming, live preview of effects, background rendering ( Read More)

Last year, at the IBC trade show, I had someone come up to me and say, "You know, Premiere Pro CS4 looks absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, I'm a Final Cut Pro editor, and can't use it." I inquired further, thinking it was a training issue, and he told me that since he defines himself as an FCP editor, he won't use other NLE tools. I was left speechless. ( Read More)

This month we’ll look at the AVCHD format and how it fits into your Final Cut Pro workflow. This relatively new, H.264-based video format is showing up on many new cameras, so chances are you will come in contact with it in the future—if you haven’t already. To work with AVCHD, you will need Final Cut Studio 2 or the latest version of iMovie. We will look at how to capture footage in both. Since the footage is already on a hard drive or memory card, this process is more like a hard drive transfe ( Read More)

With the inception of Pro Res and DNX, you don’t need to spend excessively to use a facility to edit HD content
Much like vinyl, VHS and paper (movie, plane, concert, etc.) tickets, large post production houses are the way of the past. With the inception of Pro Res (Apple) and DNX (Avid), I (or my clients for that matter) don’t need to spend excessive amounts of money to use a facility to edit HD content. I can do it in the comfort of my own home. In this article I’m going to break down the t ( Read More)

We've all seen Flash videos at YouTube. The Flash codec does an excellent job of reducing long videos into very small files, but there is a price to be paid, the quality of these videos can be very poor indeed. Even with the new 'higher quality' YouTube videos, the quality is not representational of the video that we work with in Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express. Additionally, YouTube is not the only game in town. Many of us place videos at our own web sites and at other web sites as well. Wh ( Read More)
