OTHER PROJECTS COMING SOON

The elves are still busy in the workshops - we have more goodies coming soon. Be sure to tell your friends to subscribe to this newsletter.

We are rapidly growing both our written and video libraries and this newsletter is the best place to keep up to date.

Thinking of subscribing, our members now have access to more than 500 movies dedicated to improving editing skills so you can ace the competition. Sneak a peek at the vaults here...

One of the things I really enjoy doing are product reviews and, for a variety of reasons, these have slowed down recently. However, I finally have a bit of free time and will be covering more products soon.

If there are products you want me to take a look at, let me know.

A DIFFERENT WEBINAR

Last week's webinar - Faster Editing in Final Cut Pro X - was different from those we've done in the past. Rather than showcase specific technology, I walked through my process of editing an interview; from reviewing and marking clips to editing and trimming to adding titles for a final polish.

If you are looking for a workflow that works, or have a friend that is struggling to figure out how to edit an interview, this webinar is for them.

NEW ARTICLES THIS WEEK

I have a new Motion 5 article, a new Final Cut Pro X article and a couple of articles from the archives that I think you'll be interested in.

(By the way, if you haven't visited our Editing Library recently, this is a perfect time to check back in. We have almost 900 articles - all free - on Apple, Adobe, and Autodesk software.

Our expanded Top 3 Lists are included below - see what others are learning!
TECHNIQUE: MOTION 5
Animate a Map Track

In this step-by-step tutorial  learn how to animate a path - for example to create a path along a map - using Motion 5.

This article grew out of last week's video on animated text on a path in Motion 5.  Once you understand how this works, the process is fast, easy, and accurate.

TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X (VIDEO)
Using the Precision Editor

One of the new features in Final Cut Pro X is the Precision Editor - a feature that I like, personally.

This allows you to trim edit points using the mouse, keyboard shortcuts, even make changes in real-time. 

While it is most useful for trimming video, it is well-worth learning. Which you can do in three minutes, when you watch this video.
TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO 7
Learning How to Read Video Scopes

This article was first written in 2004, but the information it contains is still valid.

Video scopes help you to analyze your images so you can fix what's wrong.

This article shows you how to read scopes, explains what they mean, and compares an image with the scope display so you can see what I'm talking about.

Read the article here.
TECHNIQUE: FINAL CUT PRO X
Introduction to Reading Scopes

In this article you can compare and contrast the scopes in FCP X with FCP 7.

Here you can discover how to unlock the hidden meaning of  what the scopes are telling you.

If you just read the article on scopes in FCP 7, this article goes deeper and provides richer details.
