[Oliver Peters] “Your A-roll goes on the primary storyline and B-roll as connected clips above.”

You can also create secondary storylines for B-Roll as well.

Here is a pretty good tutorial on some of your questions: https://www.benhalsall.com/final-cut-pro-x-how-to-disable-the-magnetic-timeline-fcpx-fcpxama/

[andy patterson] “I will have a video soon showing what the old antiquated and cringe worthy GUI of Premiere Pro can actually do. I think you will like it. “

Was I mistaken or did you post a video on the Premiere Cow forum calling the CC2017 version of Premiere the “worst NLR ever”?

Or has this opinion changed?

[Oliver Peters] “Fine trimming, audio mixing, color correction, applying/modifying effects. Generally everything you need to do to make it a polished final product.”

Interesting, as that is what I find the second best thing about FCPX. You can rough things together extremely quickly and have more time finessing. So, as usual, I guess I disagree! 😉

[Oliver Peters] “clunkier when it comes to finessing your final product, compared with the competition.”

Define “finessing”.

Thanks Charlie –

I guess I could have read the ENTIRE thread and not wasted your time! But I will go make that suggestion. I was really hoping that iMovie for the iPad would have some sort of export function….or did I not RTFM? 🙂

Nice article. Can I start a project on Luma Touch and finish on FCPX?

[Oliver Peters] ” At the end, I would say that it was roughly equal as to who “got it” and who didn’t. “

My point was not who knew what at the end of my (15 week) semester, rather how quickly the students picked up FCPX at the start versus when I taught FCP5-7. In other terms, the technology gets out of the way quicker with X and allows them to focus more on sotrytelling.

[Tony West] “Scott teaches people X for a living so he is speaking from experience. “

The idea of “teaching X” is to get the students the basic ideas and up and running quickly. This is where I see the learning uptake so much quicker than FCP7. So many fewer questions and problems. To scaffold onto that basic learning, they have the Lynda.com FCPX Essentials class as a graded assignment that is to be completed within the first three weeks of the semester. This way, each student should be at a base level of knowledge.

[Tony West] “When you teach people X are you finding that they are picking it up fast?”

I don’t think Andy has said he teaches X, only has recently begun to play with it.
