Organize with Efficiency

When a client only gives you a few days to turn around a project, speed is everything. In this tutorial, we’ll show you our best methods for imposing organizational structure to the clips in your Library so you’ll spend less time searching for good material.

Tame the Peaks

Controlling your audio levels is essential for delivering a promo where the dialogue is normalized and is protected from audio clipping. We’ll show you how to properly monitor your sound levels and what specific audio effect works wonders on single-mic interviews.

Color Me Perfect

Shooting with a wide variety of cameras can present challenges for getting the contrast and color balance to look consistent across the edit. Using Final Cut Pro X’s video scopes and Color Tools, we’ll show you how to deal with the most common color correction scenarios you’re likely to encounter.

Build a Corporate ID

Working with logos and graphics are a common occurrence in corporate videos. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to work with a layered Photoshop file and a photograph to create an animated template that can be used and modified in other projects.
