Audio Editing, EQ and FX for FCP X 1.0

Audio is a huge part of video. This 31-tutorial course – by video editing expert, Michael Wohl – demystifies all aspects of audio from editing to automating to adding plug-ins. Learn everything audio in Apple’s new version of Final Cut Pro X.

Video editors ARE audio editors too... and the audio capabilities of Final Cut Pro X are deep and powerful. That’s because Apple has deployed many of Logic Pro X’s advanced plug-ins and audio processing right into FCPX!

This course takes you through the process of adding, editing, leveling, mixing, transitioning, EQing and processing audio in the video editing environment.

You first learn the basics of adding dialog, music and FX audio clips. Then you see Final Cut’s powerful integration with iTunes and Garageband in action. From there Michael dives deep into audio editing using L-cuts and J-cuts. Next, you plunge into a series of tutorials that explains the process of getting your levels right. You learn how to interpret the meters and change levels via keyframes in the Timeline and the Inspector.

This course concludes with a collection of tutorials on panning, EQing and adding all those timesaving and audio enhancing effects.

So dig in and learn everything audio in Apple’s new Final Cut Pro X.
