Best FCE video tutorial course?

I am looking for the best option here. I've already purchased IzzyVideo's FCE chapters and found it a little quick for me....I'm looking for something more comprehensive.
Apple has several recommendations on their FC "Resources" page, including:
- Ripple Training
- lynda.com
- macprovideo.com
- Peach Pit Express
- ziopro
Based on your experience/opinion, which of these (or elsewhere) is the best for a newbie?
Thanks!

All the basic editing features are the same. The DVD & book are useful regardless of the version of FCE that you have.
The one thing that won't be in the book & DVD is doing Log & Transfer from AVCHD camcorders. That's an FCE feature that came out after the DVD and book were published. But Log & Transfer is also pretty straightforward.
If there is something specific that you are looking for, let us know what it is and one of us can probably tell you if it's covered in Tom's book or DVD.
One more thing, the Weynand book is the text for the Apple FCE training course, and a fine companion when you are in class with a live teacher. I would not suggest it for someone getting started on their own. I once called it the "Bataan Death March of feature descriptions."

  • Adobe DPS - pop-up panels video tutorial for Indesign Digital Magazine problem?

    Hello Everyone
    Trying to get info in a video tutorial for pop-up panels tutorial for a Digital Magazine I'm working on.
    Had advice to do a Multi-State Object - but this is exactly what I need it for and would love a video link i(f any is around).
    Doing a digital Tech Magazine - have about 12 images on a page.
    Want to touch one image and want a pop-up text box with Tech info on this product come up - I want all other images on page to ghost out on doing this - and then I need a button to click to close the panel down and go back to document and ready to click on another picture.
    Is there a tutorial online on how to do this. Hope someone has a link pleaae.
    thanks: Daz

    Here's the best way to attack this as a beginner.
    Create multipage InDesign file with number of pages being equal to the
    number of states you want for your MSO.
    On the first page design the base state. Copy/paste everything to the second
    page and now design the second state.
    On and on until you're done. Now group everything on each page and
    copy/paste in place everything into one page. Create the MSO.
    This is going to give you a pretty heavy file but will give you a good
    foundation for the thought process needed to do this.

  • Non-video tutorial for Aperture?

    I need a non-video tutorial for Aperture, is there such a thing available? A book, a page or WRITTEN instructions? The videos are useless, can't search for what I need to know - ie how do I actually edit a photo and get it to stick (crop, manipulate?) I'm so frustrated I'm editing my photos on my PC and sending them to the mac - thanks!

    The Help file is, imho, well-structructured, thorough enough, and serves beginners well. It is (of course) searchable. It comes with the program, and is also available on-line at http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual
    The Peachpit Aperture 3 book is used by Apple personnel for training. It doubles as a guide for Aperture 3 certification. It is set up as a series of lessons.
    http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321647440
    Aperture is a complex program with a long steady learning curve. The view from the slopes is good! Take a break from your frustration. Learn the names of things, the layout of the interface (covered in the first pages of the two things referenced above), and ask +specific, answerable+ questions ("When I do Y I expect X but I get Z. Why do I get Z? How can I get X"). There are many here who are happy to share what they have learned.
    Welcome to the forum!

  • IMovie '08 option to make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08

    Which iMovie '08 option will make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08?
    1. Share-Media Browser-Large-Publish
    2. Share-Export Using Quicktime
    3. Or can you use an unpublished iMove in iDVD?
    (Of course I'll have to first get iDVD to open without crashing...)

    Which iMovie '08 option will make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08?
    1. Share-Media Browser-Large-Publish
    2. Share-Export Using Quicktime
    3. Or can you use an unpublished iMove in iDVD?
    As always, this depends on a number of factors which you failed to cover in your original question.
    1) If you source files are SD, other than an increased loss of time in converting you gain nothing in scaling the files up in iMovie '08 only to scale them back down in iDVD. On the other hand, if your source files are HD, then you will likely see a marginal increase in quality which may or may not be worth the price of increased processing time. In this latter case, you are allowing the MPEG-2 compressor to get the most it can out of your file at the P- and B-frame level.
    2) Export using QT allows you to customize your output with regard to both compression format and settings. For instance, you can use a codec with extremely high data rate (e.g., VGA dimensions with DV at 28.5-57.0 Mpbs, AIC at 18.0-22.0 Mbps, or even unlimited H.264/AAC at 16.0-20.0 Mbps). High video data rates generally translate to less lost quality during the re-compression process. Thus, if the intermediate file produced by iMovie '08 and passed on to iDVD retains more of its original quality, the MPEG-2 compressor can get more quality out of the final conversion as stated above.
    3) Since no physical file actually exists until the project (simply a set of instructions detailing how the final file will be created) is published, there is nothing to be physically sent to iDVD. basically you must create a physical file from the project in order to do anything at all whether sending it to a gallery, iTunes, YouTube, iDVD, etc.

  • Video tutorial project too complicated, or am I doing it wrong?

    Hello.
    I'm a beginner with Flash Catalyst.
    I have a project with 7 states, which is, essentially, a video tutorial.
    Each State containts 7 buttons which should switch between the States.
    Each State (except the first) includes a video, which should play automatically when I switch from one State to another.
    During each video one or two semitransparent rectangles slide in with a text description of the video and then slide out of the screen (I call them "bubbles").
    So, each state has a bubble prepared off-screen and in a transition to another State the bubble slides in (Moves). When the video is finished (On Video Play Complete) the project transitions to another State (to another video). In this transition, the bubble fades out and a new bubble slides in for the next video.
    At this moment, my videos and bubbles function perfectly, however, only when the videos are played in sequence 1 to 7.
    Whan I need is set up all the other transitions between all the other States. Say, when I'm on video number 7 and click on button3 to switch to video 3, the transition from State7 to State3 is not yet defined - the video won't start playing automatically (even though I expected it to) and my bubbles don't slide in and out. Of course.
    Finally, I'm getting to my question: Do I really need to manually animate all the transitions in my timeline between ALL the States? I have 7 States, which is 7 by 7 possible State transitions. Each State has multiple layers, with bubbles, video and text sliding in or fading in and then again fading out, let's say 10 objects "doing stuff" in each State.
    Setting up all these transitions correctly (there's hundreds, apparently) would take ages!
    Did I set up my project wrong? Is there an easier way to do a video tutorial like this?
    Thank you for any help.

  • Where to download a step-by-step video tutorial of FCP 7 for beginners?

    I have searched many websites including the Apple site, but can't find a step-by-step video tutorial of Final Cut Pro 7 for beginners? Could anybody help? It is relatively easy to find such videos for other software products even on Apple's official site.

    It sounds like Final Cut Pro Foundations is exactly what you're looking for.
    It is presented in a hands-on, "chunkalized" environment where the training stops after every step so you can complete that step in FCP yourself.
    Here's a review:
    http://lafcpug.org/reviews/reviewfcpfoundations.html
    The review mentions a disc but the course is now available for download.
    You can watch demo movies and download it here:

  • 'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

    I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch
