Final cut pro hd HELP

prob go to file and itll be there cuz its such a simple task. or just look in the help menu

the manual that comes with it is REALLY comprehensive and good.

there should be a little box, usually off to the left. it should have like 5 squares you can click on. they are stacked on top of each other like a long verticle rectangle. the second one down is the razor. use that to cut your clips. that is probably the easiest way without being there to show you.

wow, you're in over your head huh?

Well as you use it, you'll learn to batch capture, so you wont really run into this problem.

Hit "b" on the keyboard, or click on the razor blade icon in the toolbox to activate the cutting tool. Make your cut, then hit "a" or click on the arrow in the tool box to get the selector back. Drag your selection to the browser (where your clips are stored) and drop it there. Once it's there, click on it, and re-name it so you know what it is. Simple as that.

I HIGHLY reccomend that you do the tutorial though. Most people never use FCP to it's full potential.

well said. thank you. i felt my response sucked, and it frustrated me because i definetly know how to use the program
