Hi Scott

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should give some more background –

This is for a friend who is not at all interested in making films. She’s a VJ who plays back video with effects in real time with DJs who play music. She uses software called CellDNA to VJ which is based on Max/MSP + jitter.

So far she’s been taking video (from the internet, ripping dvds, etc) and bringing it into iMovie to create small “clips”. She also does some pre-editing such as sequencing numerous clips together, simple speed changes, simple color corrections (or artistic stylings), etc.

Her interest now is to use FCPX evolve on this … use the color board, use the effects, maybe create some motion templates to use inside the app, etc. Her project length would be no more than a few minutes.

So while I do understand “Editing is more than how the app works”, she is definitely seeking a way to learn how FCPX “works”. I wish there was better tutorials on Apple’s site .. but I digress 🙂

Thanks!
