Fast track for learning FCP

Two great, free tutorials that are highly recommended around here:

Steve at Ripple Training, 60 minute FCP tutorial overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqUP7Zgeuck

Izzy Video tutorials. Older so the UI looks different but the concepts are still correct. https://youtu.be/_jvyrnQpR1E?list=PLp5SAgbM8S87n1qvv34-PAU2zMHLlXyfb

I second those 2 tutorials but from memory I believe they both have a serious omission . . . at least for a beginner to editing.

They assume that your video clips are already on your computer whereas many newcomers want to know how to get their clips from their cameras into FCP.

I can remember 20 years ago spending ages working out how to get my camera video into Final Cut Express . . . it was very frustrating!

It's simple enough with FCP . . . when you insert a memory card the import window appears showing all the clips available. You select the ones you require and press the Import button at the bottom right.
