Good tutorials for FCE HD please?

books mainly and i know our own Tom is an author of a few
so i was gonna go and grab a couple books today re FCE HD, i wanted one to cover some basic stuff, and the other more advanced SFX etc like cloning, green screen techniques etc
(have been messing around and managed to make some cool scenes with light sabers, laser blast etc )
was looking at 50 Fast Final Cut Express Techniques but its dated 2003 so as i have FCE HD 3.5.1 would this be outdated please?
thanks for any suggestions including toms own books!

Xmas is Coming! Would You Like 50 FREE Video Tutorials for FCE/FCP?

Ripple Training produce some excellent tutorials on CD.
However, they also give away over 50 video tutorials for FCE/FCP.
Many of them are for FCP BUT (most) also apply to FCE.
They deal with each topic in a short and punchy style. I found them easy to follow and learned some useful quick tips.
They are QT movies which can be downloaded so that you can use them whenever you want. (Allow about an hour to download them all - you have to do them one at a time). I found it quicker to download all of them (except for a few dealing with multi-camera work etc.) rather than viewing them on the website to sort them out.
http://www.rippletraining.com/engine/free_tutorials.html
Hope you find them as useful as I did.
Ian.

Just a couple of additional points for newcomers:-
1. The estimation of an hour (or so) to download them all refers to Broadband (ADSL). Normal "Snailmail" internet will take around 10 hours!
2. To download each lesson choose File>Save Page As. A window will appear saying it will be saved as a QuickTime Movie on the Desktop. Click Save.

Tutorials For FCE 4 ?

Are there any tutorials For FCE 4 ?
I have the (very long) manual that comes with it
but just wondered if there are any tutorials to get me started?
thanks
Pete

The quickest and easiest way to get you up to speed is a book by Tom Wolsky.
There is none on FCE4 but the book on FCE 3.5 will be ideal as the programs are 99% identical.

Good tutorials for objective C?

Can anyone here refer me to some good tutorials for learning objective C? (targeting iOS)
Thx.

It really depends what you want to do. If you want to program native business applications for iOS, AS3 is obviously not the right choice. If you want to do Rich-Media crossplatform applications, you're much better of with AS3 than developing a couple of native applications.
I'd argue it doesn't really matter if you're developing cross-platform or not; AS3/AIR for iOS not only becomes much more work than need be, the app is much less stable and presentable as a professional level app. (and I'm developing multimedia app, not a business application, BTW). I guess after all is said and done, I really feel like I'm building a house of cards with AIR for iOS.
When AIR requires using and manipulating stageWebView just so you can have native scroll behavior, when you have to rely on multiple third-party ANEs for basic iOS UI which may or may not get updated as each new OS rolls out, when Adobe ignores or brushes aside important bugs or dismisses the inclusion of core iOS features simply because they aren't also available on Android....
I really like the Actionscript language. It's really easy to understand and great for those of us without a degree in Computer Science. But Adobe needs to get serious about supporting iOS.

Good tutorials for a kid to work through

My son who is almost 12 is interested in learning flex. I've started him on some very basic stuff but I'm still learning myself and could probably end up teach some bad habits. So, I was wondering, If any of you could suggest some good tutorials that would be simple enough for an 11 yr old to understand. He does read at a high school level but has no programming knowledge.
Thank you!

Just connect to itunes and restore the ipod, when the restore is complete set it as a new ipod. Your problem must be resolved.

Good tutorials for Automator

Hi there,
I was wondering if any of the Automator community could point me in the direction of some good tutorials..
I have a couple of tasks that I want to automate, though I think they require some Apple script at some point too.
1) I run a localhost. I would like to write a automator task that sets up new vHost (based on me entering some values ie: Name and root directory), updates my Hosts file and restarts Apache.
2) I get a lot of deleted domains list sent to me each morning. Im wanting to forward that email to my Wordpress install and auto add posts.. Automator can be set to schedule hey?
3) I would like to be able to publish my clients Analytics reports as they come into my mail box. The reports would need to be published to a different location on the server, so clients would only see their report. I know that Google does have a scheduled email sent, though Im want to set up a one-stop shop, for getting this information.
Do these things sound too far fetched for Automator?
Cheers,
Phil

What are good tutorials for learning the 3d interface in Photoshop?

I'm looking for some good tutorials that will orient me to the basics of working in 3d in PS (primarily concerned with learning how to control the camera and also how to use 3d layers).
Thanks!
Daniel

As it happens, if you ever watch 'The Photoshop Guys' on Kelby TV, they nearly all use MBPs exclusively. I believe one of them also uses a desktop — maybe Cory Barker because he does all the 3D stuff. I'd worry that a laptop that does not specify video RAM, is using onboard video, and not a dedicated video card. The GPU is an important component regards Photoshop performance, so make sure you get it right.

Good tutorials for GarageBand since I'm freaking out?

I want to make my own music entirely using loops (pop, electronic mainly) on GarageBand, but it feels like I hit a speed bump every time I'm on a creative roll. I just don't understand anything about it, and it's really really stressing me out. Are there any good tutorials? Thanks.

Have you already tried the videos in the GarageBand Help? http://help.apple.com/garageband/index.html#button-0
Each of the basic lessons has an introductory video.
For more in-depth help you may want to look at Edgar Rothermich's graphical enhanced manuals, see:

Good tutorials for making objects drop or fly in?

I've been using the Adobe CS for years now, but just getting started using After Effects.
I'm trying to make a video where 2D images/objects appear to drop in from above, stay put for a second, and then fly out into the background. I figured tutorials for something this simple would be all over the web, but I've yet to find one exactly like this.
So far I'm assuming it will be something easy like using the scale effect? Any tips or advice are much appreciated!

Just pick a property like position then hold down the alt or option key and click the stop watch or with Position selected go to Animation Add Expression.
Did you try adding the animation preset to a layer in the timeline? Save the animation preset to your animation presets file and then select the layer, position it where you want it to end, then select Animation>Apply Animation Preset> and browse to the preset I sent you. Works with 2D and 3D layers.
The drop in and fly back animation that you want to do will work better with 3D layers and this Animation Preset could easily be modified to move in Z instead of fall out of frame.
It doesn't sound like you are very familiar with expressions. This one is fairly complex. It uses the in point and out point of the layer along with value at time to create the motion. If this looks like greek to you you'd better explain more about what you want to do with the expression.
sif = effect("slideIn Frames")("Slider");
sof= effect("slideOut Frames")("Slider");
// find in and out point
inTime = sif * thisComp.frameDuration;
          if (effect("Match SI SO")("Checkbox") == 0) {
          outTime = sof * thisComp.frameDuration;
          else if (effect("Match SI SO")("Checkbox") == 1) {
          outTime = inTime;
// Fix layer size when scaled
sf = scale - [100, 100];
xSize = width + (width * sf[0]/100);
ySize = height + (height * sf[1]/100);
realSize = [xSize, ySize];
// Set Positions
spx = 0 - realSize[0] + realSize[0]/2 ;
rstx = value [0];
rsty = value[1];
epy = thisComp.height + realSize[1] - realSize[1]/2;
// create movement
freq = effect("bounce Frequency")("Slider");
        amplitude = effect("bounce Amplitude")("Slider");
        decay = effect("bounce Decay")("Slider");
    posCos = Math.abs(Math.cos(freq*time*2*Math.PI));
    y = amplitude*posCos/Math.exp(decay*time);
moveIn = Math.min(linear(time,inPoint,inPoint + inTime,spx ,rstx-y));
moveOut = Math.min(linear(time,outPoint - outTime,outPoint - thisComp.frameDuration,rsty ,epy));
[moveIn, moveOut]

Good camera for FCE 4 up to $600

Hi. I am a teacher and need recommendations for a camera that will easily interface with FCE 4. Middle school students (12-13 yrs) will be using it so it needs to be straight forward and sturdy.
Thank you very much for your suggestions,
Akamai Mom

I have a Sony HD Bloggie as a cheap HD camcorder, that's under $200 at BHPhoto, and uses a memory stick. The reviews say it doesn't work in low light very well, I haven't run it thru a lot of tests yet myself (it's my second camera when I need two angles, I'll know how it goes in a couple days if I get this project working, but initially the video looks good).
Nice thing about this is it's easy and there's not many controls. You flip open the view screen and it's on. Obviously it's not for professional use.

Can Anyone Recommend Any Good Tutorials For A Beginner?

Hi,
I just purchased Pro Logic 9 and was wondering if anyone knows of any good lessons/tutorials to help a first time user of the Pro Logic series. Im excited to get into this program and record but it is so powerful that it is a bit overwhelming. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I agree with JG99.
+1 macprovideo
I've seen both the lynda and macprovideo logic training. Don't get me wrong the Logic training at lynda is ok for the basics. The macprovideo ones are excellent and go much further. So I could learn in depth how all the instruments, like the EXS24 sampler, Ultrabeat drum machine, synths and plugins work and how to use them. There are proper whole tutorials dedicated to mixing and mastering. For me and my studio buddies macprovideo for final cut, logic and now the photoshop titles has saved us countless hours and a lot of hair!

The macprovideo iPad and iPhone apps rock too!

Good Eye for Logos? Please critique

First rough draft of logos....
Company is women's health care, ob/gyn
Adience is pre-married woman to menopausal women with pregnant woman being a major target.
Want something feminine and professional.
I'm getting advise before I get too far along on the logos. Some are not yet colored, so any suggestions there would be helpful.
Thanks

princess, some first thoughts:
Uncoloured top samples:
The use of Small Caps and italics is very nice.
The uncoloured top samples may be more balanced if the sizes are adjusted so the two lines are centre aligned, or almost see below. That may correspond to identical point size in Small Caps and Italic in the same font family.
It would be nice if the italic part had more rounded shapes, as in my favourite font, New Baskerville. A script may be considered, but that may be overdoing it.
With (almost) centre alignment, a decoration on either side might be considered, either mirroring each other or representing different aspects, such as rounded/pregnant and slim/non pregnant.
Coloured bottom samples:
The two liner is really well composed. It might be more organic if Mt Timpanogos was enlarged a bit; and a decoration below might be considered.
The three liner is a good alternative option. It might be more organic without the identical line lengths; an enlargement might also emphasize the significance of the word Women's.
Colours:
Less cool colours might be more catching.

Recommended tutorials for using paths/vector art in Photoshop?

Hi all!
Can you recommend any good tutorials for using paths/vector art in Photoshop?
Honestly, I've had a good look for even one - without much success.
I Have lots of experience with paths/vector art in Illustrator, Fireworks and InDesign but I believe you really can do great things with them in Photoshop now for illustration work.
i'm just baffled by it. I can fill and stroke and edit a vector shape in PS - but if I custom DRAW a vector path or shape, things get confusing!
Hoping someone can point me in a helpful direction
John

John,
I wouldn't claim to know everything there is to know, but I'm reasonably certain it hasn't changed.
Are the 'shapes' just vector masks with a raster element inside?
Yes. That's an accurate enough description.
And if you apply a colour to a path that you've drawn - does it rasterise?
It doesn't have to rasterize. If you see color, it's pixels.
I was definitely of the impression that a lot more could be done in PS these days that might formerly have been done in ILLUSTRATOR.
The shape/path tools in Photoshop have been enhanced and improved in recent years, but the product of their use still differs from Illustrator's true vector output.
