Best online training for FCP X

I'm looking for good online training for FCP X 10.1.2
For me it's important that you get training videos that are updated (and not show e.g. FCP 10.0).
I'd also like to have access to some exercises, but not documentary material (which is not my thing), but exercises for movies, TV, and story-oriented shorts.

My degree is educational psychology, I've been teaching FCP since version 4, been teaching all of the Final Cut Studio apps since FCS2, been teaching apps for various software companies for 3 decades.  Here's my professional evaluation.
The "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X, Professional Post-Production" by Brendan Boykin is hands down the BEST book on the market.  The eBook version has been updated to version 10.0.2, also.  If you purchase the eBook version from Peachpit Press, you get the EPUB, PDF, and MOBI versions all together, and the updates for the EPUB are free.
Online, the best training will be Ripple Training, by far.

  • Online Training for Administrators?

    How would you rate the online training for CRM administrators provided by Oracle?
    What books are available for learning CRM administration? The deployment guide is not really a nuts and bolts book on administration.

  • What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

    I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
    Thx,
    Phil

    You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
    Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards. 
    Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
    And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
    I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

  • HT1338 What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    I'd put them on an external hard drive(s) and burn them to a DVD as well (at least 2 - 3 copies on different drives/media); I prefer having control and a local solution instead of relying on a server and the possibility of someone (who shouldn't be)  downloading my work.

  • Best Online resources for Windows administrators

    Hi,
    What are some of the best online resources for Windows administrators[apart from Technet ofcourse]
    Vignesh

    Hi Vignes, 
    Technet is not a small world, you can find anything and everything, if you have a patience to search for the topics/articles etc. Being a Windows Technician, I recommend you use Technet. 
    Of-course, there are many 3rd party forums/blog links available, it is up to you and your queries. Use Bing/Google to get the details of other resources.
    Thank you for understanding.

  • Best online training - video tutorials

    Although I have seen some threads earlier on the training programs but just thought get a latest update from the forum members.
    Please suggest me a best online site that has the best tutorial (video tutorials)to learn FCP. And also cheap like lynda.com. I am looking for mainly a video tutorial rather than the book version.
    thanks all

    Hey Jim
    Google is such a basic thing anybody would do, I was hoping to get advice from experienced seniors on the subject and not to teach me how to google.
    All the site you identify in google may not be too good, before you enroll somewhere and loose money I wanted to make sure.
    You dont have to term 'google' under your initiatives...even a baby these days would google. I already have a long list of sites with me after doing a google research for over a week.
    If you really have used those sites please suggest but try to proove your intelligence here, I didn't force you to give me the reply.
    Finally please keep in mind, dont expect everybody who posts here is a dumb or fool

  • Best DVD training for FCS2?

    What's the best DVD based training for Final Cut Studio 2? I'm used to editing and NLE, but this is my first expierence with Final Cut and I need to get up to speed rather quickly!
    Thanks!

    Well, since FCP 6 is still VERY new, there might not be much. But this is a great set for FCP 5.

  • DVD Training for FCP 5.0, which one???

    Hello everyone,
    Could someone give me some suggestions about training in DVD format for FCP 5.0? I am a beginner to FCP and I would like to know how basic stuff works... At the moment, I have 3 choices from DigitalMediaTraining (DMTS), RippleTraining and Total Training (www.totaltraining.com) but I am confused since their offers may be too high (or too low ;)) to me...So please, give me some hints for this. Which one you like to best?
    Thank you very much for your time and effort.
    Kind regards,
    James

    Run the tutorials and be prepared to be frustrated and confused. it's a big application.
    Play with a few simple projects.
    Then you MUST do the tutorials again. They will make much more sense the second time because you now know where the menus are and understand of the basic interface language.
    Look at your budget. Decide what you want to spend and what you want to learn. The APTS books are great and come with several interesting and challenging editing tasks. The second volume for FCP5, "Advanced Editing Techniques", just hit the shelves. It's fabulous but it's all about the craft of editing. It's not about how to run the application. So if you're making films and never went to school, that's the book you want.
    If you want to learn the application, Brian Maffit's Total Training series is, without any doubt, the best way to do the job. I have all of the available training resources for FCP3 through 5. None are as well done nor as innovative and exploratory as Brian's set of disks.

  • What is the best online backup for OS 10.5.8? And if I Reinstall OS will I have problems?

    My old Mac has had the flashing question mark file on a blue screen. I waited a couple days, turned it back on and it worked. However, in between that time I went and bought a new Macbook Air. I am relieved to have all of my pics and docs back. I need a good online backup. I downloaded BackBlaze Backup but it is taking forever and I am not sure if it's the best choice.
    My plan is to backup all of my files and then wipe my computer clean with the install disks and give my computer to my little sister. So, my question is two fold; which is best online backup and will I have any issues wiping clean the computer and doing a reinstall? For example, will all the updates still be available? What is the best thing for me to do?
    Thank you : )

    Just understand it gets pretty expensive after you exceed the free space. 2-5 GBs isn't much space.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
         capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Best online backup for iMovie clips?

    Hi,
    I shoot a lot of video and make movies using iMovie. I import clips from a video camera using Sandisk memory cards into iMovie.
    My question is, I am looking for the best online data storage that would allow me to upload the video clips on the memory card to an online service. Then, in the future if needed, retrieve the clips of my choice and bring them either directly into iMove, or put them back onto the memory card which can be used to import the clips into iMovie.
    Any recommendations? Preferably unlimited storage, and would allow me to group clips into differnt folders, ie dates or project names.
    Thanks!

    I am using CrashPlan for this.
    CrashPlan lets you seed your cloud backup with a 1TB disk drive that they send you, so that you only have to send online new files, or files that will not fit within 1TB.
    I currently have about 2 TB backed up to the cloud. I have all my DV, all my h.264, and all my VHS and Hi8 backed up to the cloud. For my AVCHD, I only backup the archive copy from the camera, and the completed movie, because the Apple Intermediate Codec versions of the Events are too large to backup to the cloud on a timely basis. So the Archive copy is fine, and it is the first generation copy anyway. I also backup my documents folder, my iTunes library, and my iPhoto and Aperture libraries to the cloud.
    I have a fast internet connection with 50 Mbs download and 10 Mbs upload.
    Note: This is only for backup. I keep a local copy too.
    If you make camera archives with iMovie, you can import from those. You do not have to move stuff back to the card. See this section of iMovie Help. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov39f84817

  • Best online game for low specs

    Hello everyone,
    I wonder what is the best online game one can play with an integrated intel chipset?
    I have tried quakelive which has a good community and it also run smoothly (~80 fps) on my computer. What else could you think of?
    Thanks a lot for your help !

    Oh my gosh I've been following this thread from it's creation and I still have NO IDEA what it's about.
    Are you talking about video games that are embedded in a web browser? Or, video games that connect to other plays via the Internet? What is "low specs"? Do emulated games count? How about games in an emulator that runs in a web browser? What genre do you want? How about THE COLLOSAL CAVE ADVENTURE? That can be played online and the system requirements are pretty much any toaster that runs NetBSD.
    Whatever. It doesn't matter. The answer to your question is "Tux Racer". In any thread about Linux gaming the answer is always Tux Racer.

  • Can anyone recommend online training for a non-developer?

    I am a new user of LiveCycle Designer (8.0).  I jumped into form design without any training.  I can design very basic forms.  However, I know absolutely nothing about writing script.  I'm looking for a recommendation for online training I can take just to help me do some basic script writing in LiveCycle.  I don't intend to become a programmer or a developer.  But, I would like to be able to create some basic calculations and scripts.  For example, I'm working on a training registration form.  I've got three check boxes (I'll attend session 1, I'll attend session 2, or I've been excused) and I'd like each selection to run a different sub-form.  I'd like to have all three subforms hidden until the corresponding selection is made.  I've gone through the help screens and have a very general idea of what I need to do, but don't have the knowledge to execute it.  I appreciate any and all suggestions.  Thank you.

    I can't help with online training, although I have found this very forum
    very helpful just by searching and digging around, I often found someone
    who has asked the question before me.  Also there are some (although only
    a few) good books available that help with just the thing you are talking
    about.
    For your specific example though (I wont attempt to convert my code to
    your example but I think it should be easy to convert once you look at
    your own form.):
    If you put this javascript on the "change" event of the radio button group
    containing your radio buttons you should be able to do what you want -
    modifying it to your own specs, of course.
    if (this.rawValue == "2")
            { Q1No.presence = "visible";    // Display the Q1No Text.
    else
    { Q1No.presence = "hidden";// Do not display the Q1No Text.
    The value "2" is the value of the radio button - found on the binding tab
    of the object palette - you will need to alter that to your own example.
    Q1No is the name of my hidden subform.
    You will need to also have altered the "Presence" of the subforms to
    "Hidden (exclude from layout)" found on the FIeld page of the Object
    palette
    Hopefully this heads you in the right direction with your own example

  • Best storage solution for FCP HDV projects?

    What is the best storage solution for Final Cut Pro HDV projects (i.e. internal or external drives, SCSI, external firewire drives, etc.)?

    Don't forget you can also use the "Send to Tape" command to send your footage back to miniDV HDV tape. This isn't the ultimate solution, but is a good way to cheaply "backup" large projects to inexpensive tape without killing your drive storage with every project.
    Here's a new feature request for Media Manager... Forget that. I'll start a new post for it.

    Right now I'm going through the lynda.com video training online. I have to say it's pretty **** good. Larry Jordan is the instructor and he makes the learning experience a blast! He has that attitude, "if you don't know something, don't worry, I'm here to help".
