Join host Larry Jordan as he looks at how Final Cut Pro X implements animation and keyframes. Discover animation techniques like the Ken Burns effect, generator animation, text and title animation. Then, shift gears and get deep into customizing your animation with keyframes. Learn what keyframes are, how to create them, and how to create a variety of effects using keyframes. If you are someone who has never understood keyframes, wants to discover faster ways to animate effects, or are just looking for new ways to create some cool effects, you need to join us for this session.
This intermediate-level video training is designed for editors who want better control, or more options, when editing audio in Final Cut Pro X. Join host, Larry Jordan, as he illustrates advanced audio editing and mixing techniques that can speed up and simplify your editing.
In this online video training, join host, Larry Jordan, as he shows you the advanced video compression features in Apple’s Compressor 4.
Adobe made major improvements in multi-camera editing with the release of Premiere Pro CS6. Now, a multicam clip can contain an unlimited number of clips containing audio, video, or stills. This webinar is designed to show you what those new features are and how to use them. Watch as master trainer Larry Jordan shows you how to create and edit three different styles of multicam clips: a music video, a dramatic scene, and a presenter with a slide show. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a multicam clip, how to edit it, how to modify it, and how to add transitions and effects. Once you see the power this new feature provides, you’ll want to use it in all your editing projects.
Apple has continued to develop multicam editing since it’s first release in Final Cut Pro X, version 10.0.3. Multicam is the ability to edit recorded media from multiple cameras all at the same time. Typical examples where multicam is used are music videos, theatrical performances, and sports. In all cases, we have a single event recorded by multiple cameras.
Motion 5 is the driving force behind all the effects in Final Cut Pro X. However, Motion is a high-power effects package all on its own. In this session, go deep inside Motion to discover how to create lines, shapes, and masks. In every case, you begin with a path.
In this session, host Larry Jordan shows you how to create, edit, trim, revise, and add effects to a multicam edit.

Final Cut Pro X: Effects Chapter 2 In this video, you will learn:
Trim clips under a transition
Illustrate ripple, roll, and slip trimming
Show how to copy transitions using copy/paste
Show how to copy transitions using Option-drag
Photoshop is an amazing tool for people who want to design beautiful images. But it is also critical in many video productions as well.
If you are wondering what Motion can do that Final Cut can’t, you need to see this webinar. Some of these effects are so cool – and SO EASY – that it will make you want to start using Motion immediately to spice up all your projects!
Telling great stories visually is wonderful. But what do you do with all the pieces when you are done?
Metadata is becoming increasingly important in production and postproduction. More than ever metadata is being acquired on set to pass through to post and VFX departments; plus, metadata is required for distribution and rights management control.
The purpose of a matte, or a mask, is to hide something in one clip so you can see something else in another clip.
In this session, we will look at how to create cameras, lights, and sets, then animate them in 3D space. While many of these features also work in Motion 3, all our demos will be in Motion 4.
Working with multiple video formats in one project is becoming a fact of life. A very confusing fact of life.
In this online tutorial, we will look at file management, setting scratch disks, some lesser understood tabs, creating submixes, buses, sends, reverb, exporting — and how to conform (reconcile) multiple versions of the same project sent from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro.
Multiclips give us the ability to edit multiple cameras at the same time within Apple Final Cut Pro. This new technique is especially useful for creating performance videos, reality shows, action sequences, even sitcoms.
This session is for people who have never worked in 3D before. This will take you step-by-step into a brand new world. You’ll learn how to animate shapes and text in 3D, and add and animate a camera, add and adjust 3D lighting and reflections. Best of all, no special design skills are required to be successful with this lesson.
In this tutorial, Larry shows you how to create two full-screen menus in Motion – one still and one animated. Then send it to DVD Studio Pro to build into a finished motion menu using buttons, button regions, and overlays.
Deinterlacing is the process of removing interlace lines from video.
New with Final Cut Pro 7 is the ability to create an Alpha Transition. This uses a third video clip to transition between two clips using some form of a wipe.
The alpha channel determines the transparency of each pixel in a clip; it is similar to the red, green, and blue channels that determine color.
Rotoscoping is the process of manually removing a portion of an image in a clip, without using a green screen.
When it comes to repairing audio, the waveform does a lot. But what it CAN’T do is let you see the various frequencies in your clip.
Nothing is worse than having a narration track that is just a second or two long.
EDLs were invented what seems like centuries ago, back in the days of CMX editing systems using paper tape.
In this short, focused tutorial, Larry introduces the concept of working in 3D space. He explains how to switch between 2D and 3D, how to create objects that move through each other, how to rotate and move objects in three dimensions, and how to apply 3D behaviors to easily spin and move objects.
One of the most fascinating effects in video is called the Traveling Matte. This is where one video clip is superimposed over another video clip.
Probably nothing is more annoying than having a “perfect” shot – only to discover that a shadow, wire, or car is intruding into your visual perfection.
Don’t avoid Motion just because you don’t understand it. In this training, you’ll master the Motion interface, discover the power of Motion templates, create simple, yet effective, animated lower-thirds, and design elegant full-screen animated titles using resources from the Motion Library. This session can remove your fear of Motion forever — and give you a reason to finally let go of LiveType.
In this Final Cut Pro tutorial Larry Jordan explains what you need to know to take advantage of this new technology. Best of all, you can get started for less than $100!
This session is the third in our Compression Complete series and provides specific examples of how to transcode media using both Apple Final Cut Pro and Compressor; including working with DSLR media.
