New FCP user x Premiere 6.5
Having used Premiere 6.5 for the last 6 years, I have just got my first Mac Book Pro along with Final Cut Studio. I have so many little questions for tasks that were easy in Premiere but I cant seem to find in FCP. (The rubber bands to fade in and out a clip in the overlay track, adding video without the audio and inserting video over a clip whilst keeping the audio for example) Can any Cow members recomend a site or forum with tips and tricks for new users to Mac and FCP, without having to sit through loads of cr#p to find it. Many thanks in advance.

Here are some good reads that will help:

In your shoes, I would suggest this book:

I came from Avid and tried to fake my way along in FCP at first. The week I spent with an earlier version of this book has saved me months of time since I finished it.
After you start feeling strong in FCP and the other studio apps, I suggest this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Studio-Spot-3rd/dp/0240810074
Short and dense – lots of signal and no noise.
More generally, I’ve found that trying to forget what I know about other editing applications is the first step to learning a new one.
Best of luck.
