A great introduction to Final Cut Express
26. März 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I recently picked up a copy of Final Cut Express when I bought a miniDV camera to record some 16mm home movies to disk. I captured the DV stream with iMovie because that's what I was familiar with and was able to do simple cutting and splicing using FCE2 by just feeling around. I could see however, I was fumbling and there were obviously easier ways to accomplish even the simple things I was doing, let alone 99% of FCE2's features.
After getting my feet wet with the home movies I wanted to do something *interesting* with 5 hours of videocam footage I had recorded years ago thinking "some day I'll make a little movie from this". For this I needed to become familiar with the FCE2's capabilities. I read through the documentation that came with FCE2 but I didn't really get it. I wasn't familiar with the terminology, the concepts were foreign to me. So I grabbed a copy of the Apple Pro Training Series Final Cut Express 2 book and committed to learning some things. The book comes with a DVD containing lesson materials.
Some of the material in the first lessons was basic even for me as I'm familiar with the Mac interface. In some cases I would just read through the exercises and not bother using the computer. But the exposure to the basic terminology was already useful.
After those first few chapters I found pretty much every exercise valuable. I appreciated the author's style of repetition and reinforcement of concepts and techniques. When I completed a lesson I was satisfied that I had learned something I would use. With my own project in mind, I would visualize how I'd apply what I had learned but was glad I didn't go off and start working on my own stuff until I had finished the book.
When I did complete the lessons I was comfortable with FCE2, which before I opened the book appeared almost hopelessly complicated. With the lessons under my belt I was able to get more out of the FCE2 documentation because I understood the terminology and what questions to ask. I was also able to read through online discussions and understand what people were asking and suggesting.
Having read the book and, most importantly, done the exercises I felt I was really taking advantage of FCE2 when I used it for my project. Even if I didn't remember everything I read I remembered I had read there was a way to do this or that and found the details easily. Sometimes I'd refer back to the book but most often I used the FCE2 help document or just looked in the menus.
I found the book a great way to come up to speed with Final Cut Express 2. After completing the book I was able to make good use of FCE2 to take boring footage, modest effects, an incredible soundtrack and nice titles to tell a story in an entertaining way. The book made FCE2 accessible, FCE2 made my project a reality, and I'm very pleased with the results.

A thorough grounding that will need supplementation
24. Dezember 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Let's start with the basic, should-be-obvious premiss: the Final Cut video editing platform is NOT "iMovie Complete"...except in the sense that it is completely different. The differences between Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro are in certain capabilities -- Express is not a "dumbed-down" version of Pro, it just lacks certain capabilities. The interface is a professional non-linear editing (NLE) tool whose efficient use is not obvious at first launch, unlike iMovie.
That being said, there is a significant learning curve for anyone picking up the FInal Cut Express tool for the first time. Diana Weynand's training course is a thorough grounding in nonlinear video editing using Final Cut Express. She presumes that the reader has been given this tool and the underlying Macintosh platform as a black box, and is expected to produce a finished product from it. In my view Weynand does a superb presentation, estimating with accuracy how long each lesson will take, covering a specific set of objectives, and reinforcing skills learned in earlier lessons when appropriate. All sample materials (with the exception of one chapter where one practices video capture using one's own set-up) are provided on the DVD bound with the book. It was sometimes disconcerting to work through a lesson with the author's tone implying that the work would be carried through in the next lesson -- only to start from scratch on a different project in the next chapter. The reinforcement, however, is that each project needs to be treated as though it is on its way to final production.
Two points I noted: (1) As in a classroom course, the lessons in this book teach one how to produce the example videos, using the example material. It does not serve well as a reference for ongoing production. A second book or reference guide (perhaps one of the Visual Quickstart guides) is necessary for ongoing work. (2) Comparing this book (covering FCE) to one's experience learning iMovie with the aid of David Pogue's excellent "Missing Manual for iMovie" is completely misplaced and unhelpful. Weynand provides a grounding in a professional-level NLE suite, and sorry to say, that takes much more time and concentration than learning iMovie (which I love for certain projects).
