• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Anyone have some good Tutorial sites for a new FCPX user?

I have been using Sony's Vegas Pro for the last 2 years. It works well enough, but is one of 2 programs that is holding me back from getting Bootcamp off my MBP. I have a Sony HD cam that shoots 1080i M2TS files. I realize that all my existing video, while easily enough imported into Vegas, will need to be recoded for FCP. This is not my question, however, as all those videos are processed already. I picked up the latest Final Cut Pro X last night as an x-mas present to myself.

I am looking for some tutorials on how to get in and work with FCP. Stuff like replacing audio, transitions, the like. Again, I am not unfamiliar with working with video production applications, just need the basics to cut the learning curve out.

Now, if I can just find a good replacement for DVDFab Pro.

I second Lynda.com, the tutorial videos i've seen cover the basics really well.

There's a couple of demo videos on the Final Cut Pro web page at Apple.

Also expect the program to offer a fairly massive update in the spring.
