Now, let's take a look at what's new this week.

I just updated this article on trouble-shooting Final Cut Pro X, and improving performance.

This now includes links to Apple Knowledge Base articles and a discussion of graphics cards.  This is a good article to bookmark for the future, as it will continue to evolve.

FCP X contains the built-in ability to spell-check and grammar- check your text titles.

The only problem is that the menu is pretty well hidden. In this short video tutorial, discover how you can make typos a thing of the past in your titles.

Trying to solve audio slowly drifting out of sync with video is a very frustrating experience.

In this article, I present a number of potential solutions, as well as describe a fast and easy way to convert MP3 audio to AIF, which can solve a wide variety of audio problems.

FCP X doesn't create chapter markers. Sigh...

Chapter markers are needed for both DVDs and online QuickTime videos. In this article, I show you a very fast way to export your projects to Compressor so you can manually add chapter markers, along with an automated way to create chapter markers.

Final Cut 7 allows you to create custom image sizes for your project. Final Cut Pro X only works with preset sizes.

Are you out of luck?  Nope. In this article I'll show you two different ways to create custom sizes for your movies. One uses Motion 5 and the other uses Compressor.
