  Learning FCP

  Posted by Dan Sherman on May 4, 2006 at 12:03 am

  Been editing with Sony Vegas for the past 3 years.
  Am seriously considering getting a MAC and learning FCP.
  Vegas is only NLE I’ve ever worked with. Grew out of Sound Forge.
  Did some once removed over-the-shoulder work with Avid as a journalist.
  Question is, how difficult is the Final Cut learning curve?
  Would like to hear from anyone with a Vegas background such as I.
  Thanks

  Once you’ve learned any NLE, the next is a LOT easier than the first. Vegas isn’t as close to running FCP as Avid’s software, however the learning curve for FCP is lot lower than for Premiere or for Avid. I’ve taught all three, and the students learn FCP the fastest by far, saying a lot about it’s intuitive interface. so I’m suggesting that you really aren’t going to have a bad time learning FCP. There are a ton of free and pay-for ways of learning FCP, and there’s more literature out there for this than any NLE… it’s because it has the largest user base in the pro world, hands down.
