“ Solid tutorial. I was able to pick and choose which tutorial to watch in order to solve a problem I was having while editing. The tutorial was able "enlighten" me and get me up and running. ”

“ excellent video tutoring looking forward to FC6. 101 ”

Jun 24th, 2009 by Keith Oyamot

“ The tutorials help me very much on the learning curve with my software. There are times that I can't find specific topics. After purchasing FCP 6 I learned that I had to purchase the earlier version to learn how to import clips. Then watching FCP 6 it showed me much of how to edit. But I couldn't find anything on creating titles, animations, or making the final movie. I must admit though I was jumping through sections that I thought would get me going. I have never used FCP before so I have no clue how to use the program, but the tutorials helped me get started. I will when time permits sit and watch it all first. Keep up the good work. Oh I've not done Keynote as of yet. ”

“ This is an superb video tutorial. Having just purchased Final Cut Express I found the tutorial very informative and helpful. I would have liked more on compositing and green/blue screen in the video. Still, a very good bunch of lessons. I find it great to look things up while doing a project though it's hard sometimes to remember all the little details. Five Stars!! ”

“ I like your tutorial of it's concise structure . Very easy to remember specific parts and navigate to it later .
The red ring around the cursor is helpfull . ”

“ I found this set of tutorials to be incredibly useful, and feel as though I’ve been working with FCP for years rather than mere weeks after following the course. In addition to the invaluable content, tips, and tricks, I found the presentational style to be highly personable, which makes all the difference when sitting through hours of video.

I should add that I rarely purchase tutorials, and even more rarely feel compelled to comment on them afterwards, but I’m happy to give this set 5/5 and heartily recommend it to others.
