NEW BOOK: "FCE  HD 3.5  Editing Workshop" - Just a bit too late for Xmas!

In case anyone hasn't heard yet, there is a new book coming out in February - "Final Cut Express HD 3.5 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky.
UK FCE 3.5 editors can pre-order it from Amazon:-
Tom's New Book
If it's anything like his others it will be a useful addition to anybody's library.

The home key is separate key on most keyboards. On a laptop it's Function and left arrow. That's how you press the Home key.
Make sure Show Overlays is turned on in the window where you're marking the out point.

  • Media Folder on DVD from FCE HD 3.5 Editing Workshop won't copy to harddriv

    I am trying to get started with the Editing Workshop book lesson 2. When I drag the Media folder that is provided with book to my hard drive it stops copying less than halfway and gives me the followig error message- The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "Backstage" could not be read or written (Error code -36)
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Is it a bad disc or what....?

    My humble apologies. Did I mention that I am new to Mac as well as FCE. I changed my e-mail in my profile. to one that should work. I have been receiving messages on the .mac address for my subscription to this forum; however I cannot send mail out from that account or apparemtly receive from anyone but Apple...I digress... that is a topic for another forum or my Apple pro.
    Did I also mention my new Mac arrived just a couple of days before our baby girl. Sorry for my ignorance. The mail should go through now if not here's the address that has been working since setting up my Mac [email protected]

  • Tom's FCE3 HD DVD vs Tom's FCE HD 3.5 Editing Workshop - Which one

    I have Tom's first 2 FCE books and I like reading technical stuff and being able to refer back to sections as needed - rather than loading a DVD.  But I am wondering what others might think if they have exposure to both of these products.  I don't do a lot of editing but I am prepping for a number of projects in the coming months.
    I have FCE 2 but will be upgrading and I also just upgraded to an Intel iMac.
    Which would you pick - book or DVD?
    Tim

    Hi Tim.
    The difference between FCE 2 and 3.5 is very little so any later books might not add a lot.
    The major differences are improved Dynamic Realtime Playback (which needs no explanation) and the keyframing of effects (which does - if you don't understand keyframing). Having said that, many people go through life oblivious of keyframing!
    The really big advantages you will get with FCE 3.5 are Soundtrack and LiveType.
    Unfortunately, there are no FCE books describing how to use these two programs.

  • 2 questions from Lesson 3 in FCE HD 3.5 Editing Workshop

    1) My MacBook Pro needs a "Fn Home" keyboard shortcut to flip the play head to the beginning of a Sequence - the Book says it should just be the "Home" key:
    and 2) I don't get an "out point" marker in the upper right corner of the picture in the Viewer after I set the "out point" of a subclip.
    Is this normal, doctor? The Titanic only hit the tip of the iceberg, so I do worry about little things...

  • Too late for this to be on the Blackberry Playbook new OS 2??

    Will we be able to find our Blackberry phones (if they get misplaced or lost) using the Blackberry PROTECT program on the Blackberry Playbook? With all of the excitement in the air for the anticipation of the new OS 2...I was wondering if the possibility for that useful program will be available as an app for the Playbook?
    Also...(Just to get a little bit more greedy on the thought)...will we be able to locate our Playbooks using the same program with the help of our laptops or desktop computers, or Blackberry phones?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    That is exactly what I am saying, you do not need any apps, with the Playbook, just use the browser and go to the Blackberry Protect web site and you can do the same thing as if you are using a computer (laptop or desktop), so why bother with an app when you can already do it using what is on the Playbook
    BTW. I am doing that since day one on the 19 April 2011, I even can use the Blackberry Travel web site
    Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

  • FCE 4, Editing Workshop (Tom's Book) Questions

    Hi Everyone:
    First off, Happy New Year
    I'm new to movie creating, FCE and the lingo. I am trying to make a DVD and thought I better try to walk before I run.
    Based on recommendations here, I purchased Tom's book FCE 4 Editing Workshop. At first it was easy (sorta) but now I'm getting frustrated. Not Tom's fault, just too much info all at once.
    I have searched the forums for answers and have found some, but am stumped so am probably going to ask questions that have been asked before, but here goes.
    1. What is the difference between the Viewer and the Canvas. In the book it says I'll spend a lot of time in the Viewer, I get that but what is the actual reason for two screens.
    2. I'm only up to Lesson 5 (still in it) will the Timeline be explained more?
    3. Is Marking I/O on clips how I remove what I like and leave behind what I don't? Do I use clips to make manageable pieces of viewing tape?
    4. Specific lesson instructions... Page 85 Tom says to Open clip in Viewer, mark specific I/O and then drag that "clip" into a newly created Bin. How the heck do I drag the small 9 seconds of marked I/O to a folder in the browser? I feel like an idiot but I can't get just that small 9 seconds dragged over. I just keep getting the entire clip dragged into a new folder.
    Sorry to be do dense and ask so many questions. I'm technical, but just can't figure this out and it's aggravating.
    I appreciate the help and thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Kim Cassidy

    G'Day Kim,
    1. What is the difference between the Viewer and the Canvas. In the book it says I'll spend a lot of >time in the Viewer, I get that but what is the actual reason for two screens.
    I'll tackle this one.
    The Viewer is a way to play a clip that is listed in the Browser.
    The Browser does not contain any real media. That sounds crazy, right?
    What is actually in the Browser are file paths to the real clips stored on your Scratch Disc. When you click on a clip in the Browser the file path to the Scratch Disc is established and the real clip plays in the Viewer.
    It's like a short cut to actually going to the Scratch Disc and then playing the file in the QuickTime Player.
    The Canvas and the Timeline are really the same thing displayed in different ways. It's settings are governed by the Easy Setup selected before a Sequence is started.
    Think of the Viewer as a device that plays raw footage and the Canvas a device that plays edited footage.

  • DVD from Tom Wolsky's "FCE 4 Editing Workshop" Book won't load

    Greetings:
    I recently purchased FCE and Tom Wolsky's "Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop" Book & DVD. When I put the DVD into my MacBook Pro, it sits for about 20 seconds, then gets ejected. The computer seems not to recognize the DVD. The DVD drive is otherwise functioning perfectly (for example, I used it to load the FCE application with no problem). I've tried restarting the computer and cleaning the (spotless) DVD. Anyone else have this problem, and can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks!

    You should return the book to wherever you purchased it if the DVD is defective.

  • Tom Wolskys book-"Editing Workshop Button Bars"

    I have fce hd v 3.5 but I purchased tom's bookFCE 2 Editing Workshop. I figured I could bridge the gaps between the little differences between the book and my newer version but I have run into a very minor problem. For some reason I am unable to locate "Load Button Main Button Bars"(p16, par4) function in order to navigate to the "extras" file on the dvd. When I double click on the "Editing Workshop Button Bars" it says File Error: wrong type. I know this isn't critical, and I am probably missing something simple but I don't want to miss a beat in learning this software. Could someone help? Thanks.

    You have to right-click on the button holder itself.
    The terminology has been changed to "Load All Button
    Bars." Then from the navigation dialog select the
    file from the disc.
    Thank You Tom. I appreciate it.

  • Digital Editions 2.0 on two computers but new books don't show

    I just installed Digital Editions 2.0.1 on my PC.  I had already installed 2.0 on my notebook.  I then downloaded some e-books using the PC.  These new books do not appear on my notebook version of Digital Editions.  How do I get the two co-ordinated?

    Sorry, ADE 3.0  cannot sync books over the cloud. You have to transfer the books from one laptop to other via some storage device or through mail.

  • When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

    When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

    This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.

  • I have a Kindle and have just purchased 4 new e-books - downloaded with Adobe Digital Editions. Now how do I get them on my Kindle?

    I have a Kindle and have just purchased 4 new e-books - downloaded with Adobe Digital Editions. Now how do I get them on my Kindle?

    To remove the book simply touch and hold the cover on the main page.  A little pop up will ask, remove?  Say yes.  The book content will de deleted.   The cover will remain on your main page with a little down arrow so that you can redownload it if you wan in the cloud view.  In the device view, it simply disappears.
    Note at the bottom of the page are a couple of switches, labeled cloun and device.  The device switch shows you books on your device.  The cloud page shows your whole catalog, and the down arrow allows you to bring down anything in your catalog to the device.

  • I can not get adobe digital editions 2.0 to open on my pc.now i cant drop new books on ebook

    i can not get adobe digital editions 2.0 to open on my pc.now i cant drop new books on ebook

    Are these DRM books, or DRM-free.  If DRM-free, use the free and far superior Calibre ( http://calibre-ebook.com/)
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

    How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

    Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

  • I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.

    Our computer crashed and we had to go back to factory settings to get it back on.  I had to re-install Adobe Digital Editions to borrow books from my library.  I downloaded a new book and now it won't let me copy it to my nook.  I keep getting "not authorized to copy".

    You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.
