I’m a long-time Avid editor, just made the switch, and I’m loving it. FCP’s documentation is excellent, but be warned, it is voluminous. My advice – RTFM and take notes. I made a 4 page cheat sheet of shortcuts and notes on thing I knew I’d do daily. Do the FCP supplied tutorials and you’ll be fine. I bought FCP for Avid Editors and barely had to crack the cover after just reading the FCP manual and searching this forum. Search and bookmark Shanes stock answers, set up your system properly, and don’t try to master the entire studio suite all at once. I’m just moving into the other apps now, after my first couple of edits in FCP.

Glad I’m not the only one – sort of. Going to call tech support, still under 90 days, will let you know what they say.

In fact, I cant get any type of second favorite video transition to work with a shortcut key. Audio transitions work fine with shortcut keys.

In the past, I’ve done zap requests and had lots of great responses.

Thanks Tom.

I love this deck, but at first found it to be a little finicky when loading large tapes. Read somewhere that if you push them in just to the right of center, they will load perfectly. Switched to this method, and haven’t had a problem since.
