  • Final Cut Pro X he*lp menu driving me nuts!!!!

    Posted by James Bayliss-smith on October 28, 2011 at 3:28 am

    Hi there is it just me or is Final Cut Pro X help menu only online? I live in China and being behind the great firewall of China means that stuff like this just doesn’t work very well for me. Can anyone point me to a PDF of the help content? I do have one, apparently released after 10.0.1 but there is no contents page so it is very difficult to use as a document. Is there another one out there?

    Also while I am on a rant why is Apples help programme or whatever you may call it so shit! If I am learning a new programme I like to command TAB between my open windows so I can read some help menus then quickly tab back to the programme in question. With Apple’s help app it is always on top unless you minimize it. This is bloody annoying Why oh Why do they force you to use this piss poor help menu?

    Rant over

    It’s very odd why Apple does not have a decent PDF for FCP X.

    Here’s the link for 10.0.1:

    https://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.1/

    Obviously, you have to print it and Save As PDF …

    You should also check out some of the books on FCP X on Amazon. While they aren’t free, they are useful references.

    Apple Pro Training Series
    Final Cut Pro X – How it Works (this is an interesting, visual one)
    Apple Pro Video Series (by Steve Marin)

    You can get all of them as Kindle formats. Which you can read on your Mac with the Kindle for Mac reader. At least then you don’t have to deal with Apple’s Me First help application.
