Hi Friends!
This week im going back to basics and doing a beginners guide to final cut pro x. With everything thats going on in the world and the fact Apple are giving away final cut pro for 90 days currently it seemed to me that lots of folks might be starting to learn final cut. This final cut tutorial is meant for absolute beginners and aims to get you editing in FCPX in less than 20 minutes. I cover learning the interface, importing footage, adding text, effects and transitions and exporting your finished video. Its a fast paced crash course to get you up and running in no time.
I hope you enjoy it and find it informative, feel free to ask any follow up questions in the comments below.
As always, thanks for watching and i'll see you next time!
