Tutorial Overview

This is the first in Larry Jordan’s series: The Fundamentals of Final Cut Pro. This tutorial looks at the relationship between video formats and hard disk storage. In almost every case, a dropped frame error is caused by a hard disk that isn’t fast enough to support the video format you are editing. In this session, you’ll learn how to pick the right storage for your media, avoid problems with dropped frames, and keep your system running smoothly.

This session does not look at, or recommend, specific gear or manufacturers. Rather, it explains the technical critieria you need to consider in determining which storage to buy or use.

Audience Level

This tutorial is designed for people just starting out configuring their system, or making the switch from standard defintion video to high definition. While this contains a lot of technical information, it does not require a lot of computer or edting expertise on the part of the viewer.
