Video Editing

I figured that since we will start working with video soon, I would post a link to a site I was recently introduced to called Creative Cow. It features a number of forums and blogs about anything and everything related to editing and post-production work, from performing a basic edit to creating stylistic graphics, texts, and other various effects. It covers a number of computer applications as well, including Final Cut and After Effects. One of the great features of the site is that it offers free video podcasts that act as step-by-step visual tutorials for completing various tasks in these programs. This link will take you directly to the Final Cut portion of the podcast section, and while some of the tutorials are designed for achieving very specific tasks, there are a few that cover the program's general interface as well as how to perform simple insert and overwrite edits.
