    FCP readers:

    I like to check in with Mike in Australia periodically,  and here is the latest gem that would be applicable for FCP users in this hemisphere (he’s in NSW, Australia).

    Free tools and software useful for an FCP editor

    A repository of all the tools, utilities, plug-ins, add-ons, applications and resources you’ll ever need. Free, Accessible and very bloody Useful.

    FCPUG readers:

    I thought since we are in the festive season, that some of you might be into making your own beer, wine or other booze to share during the holidays.  If so, check out the how-to videos that Martin Sitter- Publisher  (NonLinear Educating Inc — Home of MacProVideo and DesignProVideo.com) has started to share his love for the brewing process. So while you are watching the latest how-to video for FCP on MacProVideo.com, you could also be learning a new skill – brew mastering….

    P.S: The MacProVideo site has some great FCP tutorials for a very reasonable cost and if you’ve been good Santa might have a discount in order to help you save a buck or two.. See me for details..  ;-) You’ll even find our guest speaker for our February meeting, Larry Jordan, featured on this site.

    Happy Holidays!

    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Render All Doesn’t


    The default settings of Render All actually miss things…


    render all image
    According to Apple, in the default setting when rendering using Sequence > Render All the Full option is not enabled. This category refers to sequence items with real-time effects that are capable of playback and output to video at full quality with no rendering required. There may be differences in the Canvas display between real-time playback and fully-rendered material.

    To ensure a consistent playback quality in the Canvas, enable (check) the Full render category before rendering.

    Some of the DCFCPUG Leadership team will be attending the SuperMeet for the first time! More to come on this topic, but if you are interested in attending, head on over to the FCPUGnet site to take advantage of the discounted room rates at the KIMPTON Serrando Hotel in SF.  They will have day long workshops before the evening SUPERMEET this time around so it should be educational as well as a chance to meet and greet our peers on the West Coast. I hope to have some reporting from the field while in attendance.

    If you can join us, let me know!
