Course Description

Welcome to my "Telling Stories with Final Cut Pro X" tutorial!

This course contains 16 videos, totaling 1 hour 46 minutes of training.

Follow along with me as I edit a miniature documentary. You'll have a chance to work with:

  • Interview footage
  • B-Roll
  • Voice-Overs
  • Titles
  • Color Correction

All the sample media I use in the course is downloadable, so you can work on the same footage I'm using as you follow along.

I hope you love it!

(Please note that I use version 10.2.3 of Final Cut Pro X for this training. While the concepts are still the same, the Final Cut interface has changed, so things will look different.)
