Learning Final Cut Pro X


Premiere is nice, but some folks like Final Cut Pro X. Luckily, there is some great training online. The best training source is Lynda.com. Unfortunately, BYU no longer has a campus-wide subscription. However, you can access the site for free from two computers located in the HBLL.

Luckily, there are plenty of other places to learn Final Cut Pro X. For instance, Vimeo has a series of instructional videos as part of what it calls its Video School. You can begin watching FCPX series by clicking below and watching the two minute and ten second introductory video:
