Indispensable

This is a well presented, highly competent excursion through this popular NLE platform, and a great companion piece to the Moviola Studios Pro Video Guide. The inside tips in the troubleshooting section are enlightening and more than worth the price of admission. The "post pipeline" insight presented in the workflow section provides the end user with a roadmap for finishing a project shot on any of the current digital cameras, file-based or otherwise, that is not readily available in the online communities, at user groups or in print. As a refresher for the veteran FCP editor or as introduction to the newbie, this app is one of a kind.


Wow! For the editor on the go or in the field.

I am in an airport, currently editing footage of old family memories dating back to the 1950's. This app, straight on my iphone... makes a quick reference check a snap without having to shrink FCP and hinder system performance during any of my edits and renders. Keep these kind of apps coming!


Where has this app been all my fcp life?
Johnnie's girl

Within 1 second of installing it, I already learned something. You know how no fcp teacher can answer all your questions? Well, this is for all those questions they never could answer.


5 Star App

Indispensable if you use final cut pro.
