MacBreak Studio on FCP X Favorite/Reject Strategies at DVinfo.net

Last month I did an episode of the FCP X Virtual Users Group and while we were in Petaluma, they asked us to do a MacBreak Studio episode as well.

Mine went live yesterday.

For anyone interested, it can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWS8tZSVn8M#t=42

Hope it helps some who might be new to X.

Already watched it on fcp.co - great overview! I like your training style as well. I take a very similar approach and it's always good to have what you're doing validated and reinforced. I also enjoyed the user group broadcast and your Final Cut Grill episode.

I especially liked your point that selecting, favoriting, keywording, etc. is not a tedious chore you do before the editing starts - it IS editing. You could make the case that it actually starts as you choose what to import from the camera.

Keep up the good work!

Bill,

I'm not new to FCPX, but your method is very nice. It has saved me lots of time when selecting sections of an interview.
