Intro to Final Cut Pro...

Again, here's yet another link to a site that many first-time users of Final Cut Pro might find somewhat helpful. Like last week's post to Creative Cow, this site offers a series of free downloadable podcasts designed specifically for those without any prior non-linear editing experience, or for those simply looking to re-learn a few of the basics. Topics covered on this site include logging and capturing (the starting point of all DV editing, unfortunately), the layout and program interface, as well as how to use and navigate the timeline, amongst others. Yes, they may seem a bit basic at times, but that's the point - to familiarize yourself with essential features and functions of the software and to then build upon that knowledge once sufficiently mastered.
