Right out of the gate, we’ll have you importing media from your camera and organizing it in preparation for editing. Along the way we’ll show you important workflow for managing your hard disk space as well as how to backup your critical camera data.
Video Editing actually begins when you are going through your clips looking for the best takes and content. In this tutorial, we give you the best methods for marking, rating and keyword tagging your clips so you never have to spend time looking for media you need when you need it.
You’ll learn how to balance dialogue, music and effects to keep your story moving forward and your audience engaged. Using Final Cut Pro X’s Range Selection Tool, you can keep your soundtrack elements from competing with one another in the mix.
Final Cut Pro X has some powerful built-in effects for color correction, affecting the look of your video and controlling the speed of your clips. You’ll also learn important techniques for keeping your project’s timing intact during the course of your edit.

I’ve been a professional editor for 20+ years, the majority of those on Avid’s Media Composer. It’s still my primary edit system, but I’m about to start on a FCP X project and needed to learn the software. I’m used to just messing around with a new edit program and figuring it out, but I quickly realized FCP was different enough in so many ways that I needed some help. A friend recommended the Ripple Training tutorial and I have to say, I’m deeply impressed. It’s been a great walkthrough for an experienced editor like myself. The tutorial has paid for itself in saved frustration.

Your tutorials have put me light years ahead of where I would have been on my own using just the manual. Every sentence shows evidence of careful study for thorough content and clear, understandable language. Even though there are forty-two lessons, there’s no fluff—it’s all solid learning material.
Adding the download feature was great for me since we don’t have very fast internet in our area. If I didn’t grasp something, I stopped, rewound and repeatedly played that portion back until the clouds lifted. I am so glad you decided to make these valuable, no-nonsense tutorials.
