Final Cut Pro has become a staple of video editing and attracted many editors to it. However, like most modern software, it is profound and nuanced and you can always learn more. In this video, an expert walks you through some of his best tips.
I edited my first video long before I became a photographer – before YouTube in fact. When I started, there were very few options available to consumers, and Final Cut Pro had a few. Over the past two decades or so, we’ve seen many tools restricted to high-end industry professionals added to consumer software, and many additional tools unavailable.
Learning new software now feels almost insurmountable, with complexity beyond the full comprehension of most users. Adobe Photoshop is another example of software that has evolved over a long period of time that is simply huge at this point. Final Cut Pro is only 11 years old, but it has had to catch up with the video editing suites that preceded it. Therefore, just like other veteran software, no matter how well-versed you are with it, you still have a lot to learn.
In this video, Tyler Stalman, a seasoned video editor, walks you through some great tips for effective editing in Final Cut Pro.
