Even when small things like software button placement or menu design changes you can usually adapt what is being taught to the software update as it usually doesn’t change that much.

Cool, thanks Shane! I didn’t know about a full min of bars/tone.

Frank…If you are outputting for broadcast TV, you need to have a lot of stuff BEFORE your show starts. 1 min of BARS and TONE, and then a slate, and sometimes a countdown to a 2-pop. Bars start at 58:30:00, so you want to give yourself a little pre-roll…well, lot of pre-roll…before that point.

Sorry about my VO audio. That was one of the first tutorials I was doing, and I was just getting used to it.

Very good DVD. Organization is far too often skipped over when you’re new to FCP, and the pain will soon come.

Two points

I was curious though, why DO you want your timeline to start at 58:00:00? I saw that in the menu but don’t recall hearing the answer.

One last thing.. Not sure if it was just my DVD or not, but the audio levels for your voice are about -6db from the rest of the audio on the disc (the cow intro, even the music bumpers). It makes you tough to hear over the roar of my G5 DVD player’s fan!

Dude…thanks for the wonderful review.

Darn FCP for changing and making that open timeline…making part of my DVD out of date.
