Work Smarter, Work Faster
For any working editor who has quietly wondered if there was a faster, better way of doing something in Final Cut Pro, we created Final Cut Pro Advanced Techniques to answer these questions. This tutorial includes 50 individual lessons encompassing nearly 4 hours of instruction that were designed to bring your editing efficiency to the next level.
Training On the Go
Originally released on DVD-ROM in 2004, we are re-issuing this title as an iTunes edition that can be synced with your iPad. The idea being, you would have a library of useful Final Cut Pro tutorials right at your fingertips. The movies can also be watched directly within iTunes and the tutorial also includes a link to the project files in case you wanted to follow along in your own copy of Final Cut Pro. The project files are formatted for Final Cut Pro versions 6 & 7.

Editing is editing. Whether you are breaking down a dialogue scene, editing an action sequence, or cutting down a long rambling interview for a corporate video, the concepts we teach in this tutorial will show you how to use Final Cut Pro's editing tools in ways you had not considered. Because this training will no doubt save you time and boost creativity, you'll refer to to this collection as the "money tutorial".
