Final Cut Pro X - Level One

About the Program

Final Cut Pro X is a major breakthrough in video editing, providing revolutionary editing tools. This most recent update for 2012 puts Final Cut Pro X once again ahead of other production software. It offers powerful new ways to organize your media and provides incredible performance. The new timelines and dynamic media organization take the work out of finding clips, and let you experiment freely while working with extraordinary speed and precision.

Once you learn where all the menus and buttons are, you will enjoy the speed at which you can color key, view video effects before you apply them, and work with the powerful audio filters. Final Cut Pro X brings back separate tracks for audio and video, and you will find the new version amazing.
