“ I'm a big fan of the MacProVideo tutorials. Martin Sitter has that essential ingredient as a teacher - an infectious enthusiasm for the subject.
As a teacher of children aged between 7 and 11 I can tell you that he pitches his teaching style just right - not too fast, not condescending and full of handy tips to get you up and running in no time at all.
Having watched the whole of this tutorial over a weekend, I pitched right in and made my own video using Final Cut Express - there's no way I could have done this without the skills I picked up from Martin.
The best endorsement I can give this particular tutorial is that I've risen from the humble iMovie to the mighty Final Cut Pro in just a week having watched it.
My copy of FCP has just been delivered so I'm off to view this tutorial all over again - which of course is the beauty of this kind of resource.
Incidentally, the after sales support that you get with MacProVideo is absolutely first rate - quick, friendly and personal- unlike anything I've ever encountered from a web-based retailer.
Once again, well done Martin!! ”

“ I'm an editor in the process of getting my FCP5 certification and I bought your “FCP5 complete” tutorials in order to get a re-fresher before
taking the exam. On the strength of the online tutorials I have now bought FCP,Motion and DVD Pro downloads.
What I like most of all is that you put in lots of tips that none of the other company's training DVDs appear to mention. Also the footage that’s used is easy on the eye. The picture is clear and the pace is very well judged with elements repeated slightly differently so that the viewers attention is held whilst the information being passed on is reinforced. ”

Description
Covers Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express.
Apple's Final Cut is the single biggest innovation powering story-telling since the invention of the pencil! If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a thousand pictures ... and thousands more beside ... Video empowers storytelling in exponential ways. And Final Cut Pro empowers video editing.
Video editing is mostly science ... blending pixels over time to create the illusion of motion is the fundamental principle at work whenever you edit in Final Cut. Consequently, it pays in spades to understand the science behind video.
Using routines honed in the classroom, Martin Sitter demystifies frame rates, fields, video resolution and aspect ratios through easy to understand examples. These fundamental concepts supply a solid base to build upon, which Martin quickly does.
You'll learn what codecs to use to maximize real time editing, how to properly nest sequences, multi-camera editing, and a whole lot more.
There's really too much to explain in words ... please check the table of contents below to get an idea of the topics covered.
