Best Online FCPX training

Hi Guys,

Just curious to know what people think is the very best training on FCPX... I can do all the basics with speed, but I want to add depth to my understanding to really take full access of the program.

Does anyone have any suggestions of absolutely brilliant FCPX training?

Thank you,

The best training is in a small class or one on one. Where are you?

I live in Dubai, and seem to learn quite well from the online tutorials. I was wondering if there was a recognised best in class of that particular format?

Thank you.

I second Tom with one to one training if possible.
My experience is that with so many different editing requirements and workflows, it will be tailor made, focussed and far more productive.
Small classes can be great as long as the attendees are all at a similar level.

I find classes are only as good as the weakest student, the weaker or struggling student tends to take more time, and you are keen to move on, and get bored waiting for the less skilled student to catch up.

Online?? Does it have to be online? I love Ripple Training, download the tutorials and do the exercises.

You could buy Brendan Boykon's ebook, it is the one used to get certified with.

Ripple twins are always publishing new short tutorials every week, and often there are real gems..

Talking of gems, you cannot do any worse than following Tpayton on twitter, I have pleaded with him to publish his graphics as an ebook, I would be first in line to buy...He is a real gem in the community.

Tom Wolsky, full of knowledge...Has great things to say...

And not to forget Peter of fcp.co, without him, FCPX would be the worse off!!!

I am sure I have left off many...sorry :oops:

Thanks everybody for their input. So without a small group / one on one option available, I heard Ripple training on here. I think I'm going to go with that unless anyone has any last minute better ones?

Thanks to everyone for their input.

The one thing I noticed about class-room training, it tends to focus more on Adobe/Windows hardware, Mac training is seen as almost "2nd" class, a lower grade, this is just what I have observed.

There are loads of small classroom training companies here, but all of them are Adobe, 100% nothing but Adobe, not a single Mac training, that is based 900km away...

Go for Ripple, they have great stuff, from imovie, to FCPX, to Resolve!!!

Tom is too humble to say himself he has a great book that is also a reference :

If not, Ripple training indeed

So I just purchased one of their packages and the order didn't go through correctly. I paid for the bundle via Paypal. I don't think I've been charged.

I can't find a way to contact them on the site. Does anyone have a support email for them?

The number doesn't accept cell phone calls from my country... So I have no way to reach out to them to purchase the product.

Thanks x

I think I would have waited until the next update of X (hopefully this month, fingers crossed)
The 40% discount they're running at the moment might be a clue!

Ripple are always very quick to release updated tutorials on new features/fixes after a biggie update.

You mean Ripple? There is no good way to contact them from their web site. Try posting something on their Facebook page if you have an FB account.

hi,

I found Lynda video training tutorials very helpful for learning fcpx.
Download training tutorials and make practice. definitely it ll help u.
visit Lynda.com

Lynda.com is great, I would not recommend Lynda.com for folks outside of the USA, Lynda.com is tutorial rental only, and if you cannot pay, you run in to problems.

I cannot understand why you cannot buy courses from Lynda.com. People have asked me about Lynda and I explain that the rental is a problem, it is expensive and cumbersome.

With Ripple it is an easy download, and you own the product, which helps with planning costs.
