The redoubtable Izzy has introduced a free video tutorial course on FCP X. You will find it at:

I do not stand to benefit in any way from this post

Thanks Tom:
If you look at the center image, just right of the line, you can see the clips are overlapping. If I try to drag the top clip and put it right above, it moves it to a completely different part of the timeline. Often a glowing red line appears above the overlapping section, which seems to indicate there's a transition or something there, but there isn't.

The training videos on the Adobe distribution disks (or on line at http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/) may help, too.

No more free video's???

Now that the video iPod is out, are you not able to view videos on the itunes store anymore?
You used to be able to watch a hefty amout of music videos, now all I can find are links to pay $1.99.
Anyone else notice this?
"D"

Yes. The record labels have been pushing companies like Apple, Yahoo, and AOL to pay for distributing music videos. Universal recently reached a $10 million deal with Yahoo after playing a game of "chicken" with them: Universal told Yahoo "show me the money", Yahoo said no, Universal yanked their videos off Yahoo's pages, Yahoo's audience began to dwindle, Yahoo offered $$$...
So, while whatever deals Apple made had the free videos disappear with iTunes 6's & the video iPod's release, I think free videos were on their way out, no matter what.

Whats the best free video converter ?

I am sending out a small mov (DV) file to a a few dozen people (not clients as this is a free thing).
These people want to be able to convert this avi file down to a MP4 or other formats that will work fine on:
Mobile phones
Video frames
small portable data projectors
etc
What free video converter would you recommend to these guys?
I thought of AnyVideo Converter which is perhaps the most popular.
But I heard that AVC is dropping some features hoping people with upgrade to their pro version etc.
Han anyone got any comments on what free converter I can recommend to these people?
(These people will have Windows computers .... sorry ... :s )

I don't have any experience with Any Video and what it does with audio _ much less what it was doing for a 4 hour process. You could run it through MPEG Streamclip and change the sampling rate,
Or perhaps post this on the QuickTime forum.
Good luck.

What is the best FREE video converter?

i need it to be free. i spent all my money on the ipod and now because Apple wants to be cheep, I CANT WATCH VIDEO'S AT ALL!!! somebody help me

I had the same issue, however I used this program to transfer ...avi,mpg,wma..etc...;
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
I'm pasting this from the Videora site, the settings worked for me when others didn't, enjoy:
Configuring videora converter
0) Start Videora iPod converter.
1) Click setup in the left nav.
1.5) Click the profiles tab.
2) Click new profile.
3) Now, configure that profile:
profile name: ipod
in the video settings section...
mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
resolution: 320x240
passes: one
bitrate: 768 kbps (384 kbps also works)
framerate: 29.97 fps
in the audio settings section...
bitrate: 128 kbps
sample rate: Input
channels: stereo
4) Click apply to save the profile.
Now, you're ready to transcode.
1) Click convert on the left nav.
2) Click the transcode new video button.
3) Pick your source video. Mine was an AVI from a torrent.
4) Under quality profile, choose "ipod", the profile you created using the steps above.
5) Click start.
Now you're ready to get the video on your ipod
1) In iTunes, under the File menu, select add file to library. Find the transcoded one. By default, the transcoded videos pop out under the Videora install directory.
2) Drag and drop to your ipod.
Questions/observations:
1) I haven't been able to get H264 anything to work. Is it broken? How much smaller than MPEG4 is it?
2) 768 kbps video was about 400 megs/hour; 384 kbps video was about 231 megs/hour. I could readily see a difference in video quality.

How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
Timebase: 25
I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
ML

Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
Hope that helps

I´m editing a video with photos, suddenly FCP X displays the spinning ball a few seconds every time I play the Timeline

I´m in a project that is primarily composed of photos, lots of them. When I reached 10 minutes of work the spinning ball started to appear after an edit and when I try to play the timeline to see the results or preview my edit. I checked the source material and I realized that I made a begginner mistake: I had a lot of photos with too high resolution (4000x3000 for example), so I resized all photos to a more manageable size for FCP, 1024x768, and then I saw the light! FCP began to work normally again. Later I added more photos to the events folders, and when I finished the import, FCP returned to the same thing I described before. Someone has a Tip? I am working with too many photos? the video is planned to last 20 minutes, maybe I will assemble it with 400 photos, but in the events I have lots of photos, 2600 aprox, some of it referenced and others copied in the events folders. Maybe I have a lot of photos in the events folders?

I´ve have done that but does not work. I have 12 GB of RAM in a Core i3 3.2 Ghz iMac, thanks

Can not buy the free video off of the main apge (Shooter Lil Wayne)

Hi all,
I have a problem and I"m not certain if it's me or if it's iTunes. I'm trying to get the free video off of the main page, the music video featured on the Tonight Show. Here's the iTMS URL:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewVideo?id=129735141&s=14344 1
Whenever I click Get Video, I get a 5002 error. But I'm fully authorized and have downloaded other things in the same session.
Any suggestions?

was able to get the video.

FCP: What is the best quality sequence setting for HD Video with JPEGs?

Hello,
If I am editing digital still images that are 3696x2464, in order to make them into a HD video in FCP what is the best sequence setting?
There are so many HDV settings and I still don't understand the aspect ratio options...
please advise!

Hello,
where do I choose the ProResLT in the setting window? and What should be the Frame Size and Pixel Aspect Ratio? I am trying different options and having a hard time finding a setting that doesn't distort or pixel the image. Please help!
Additionally, would this setting maintain the quality even when the movie is exported and burnt onto a DVD?
many thanks.

HT203167 Where did my app free video downloader pro go? I paid for the app and it is no longer available...

Anyone ever download, free video downloader pro, and it is now missing from iTunes even after I paid for the app...

You can suggest it to Apple all you want, but given that Apple has been getting rid of everything Google-related lately (that's why iOS 6 has a new non-Google maps app)...
Aside from the new YouTube app from Google, you can still use YouTube in Safari and save a home screen icon for it.
