Quicktips 2011 Day 09: A bunch of FCP tips from Digital Rebellion

Here’s a big batch of Reader Quicktips that comes to us from Jon Chappell over at Digital Rebellion. They’ve always maintained a very good blog as well as providing the Final Cut Pro community with some very useful tools, including the FCS Maintenance Pack. Here’s four quicktips from way back in 2008. Click over to the full Digital Rebellion article for all the images and comments.

After Effects Apprentice Free Video: UI Overview

As we mentioned earlier, we’re creating a video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice, which progresses from “I haven’t used it before” through core skills including keyframing, masking, text animation, and 3D space to advanced techniques such as motion tracking, green screen, and expressions.

As is the case with most of our video training, these videos are being offered through lynda.com. For those who don’t already have a subscription, they regularly make a few of movies from each course available for free on their site as well as on YouTube. We want to make sure our PVC readers are aware of these resources.

Panasonic AF-100: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Panasonic AF-100 is getting a lot of buzz as a possible HDSLR killer. We used it in the real world in place of an HDSLR, and now we know. And soon, so will you. Read on…

Quicktips 2011 Day 08: Add and Edit markers in FCP 7 for speed

This Reader Quicktip comes to us courtesy of Alex Ricciardi from Endless Picnic. It highlights the Add and Edit marker functionality that was added in the Final Cut Pro 7 update.

Quicktips 2011 Day 06: The mappable Avid Smart Tool button

Love it or hate it, the Avid Smart Tool that was introduced in Media Composer 5 is here to stay. It will continue to be refined and hopefully evolve as the software evolves but it’s worth noting there is a single, mappable button that can toggle the Smart Tool on and off.

Quicktips 2011 Day 04: Save a comment specific column layout in FCP

When you’re using the View as List setting in a Final Cut Pro bin there are several columns that are labeled as comment columns of some type. All of those comment column headings can be edited and customized (as was discussed during the last 28 Days of Quicktips). I also like to save a column-only template for editing and taking notes.

Quicktips 2011 Day 03: Scrub the FCP thumbnail column thumb

There’s a thumbnail column with the Final Cut Pro browser. Call that column up and you can then scrub the thumbnail right in the Browser column.

Quicktips 2011 Day 01: Apply multiple FCP bin comments at once

This is one of my favorite little gems when logging clips in Final Cut Pro. When using list view in the FCP Browser you can right + click (or control + click) on a single button mouse to apply different types of column criteria to multiple FCP clips at once. It’s not just for Master Comment columns either but quite a few other user selectable columns as well.
