Anyone Here Familiar With Final Cut Pro?

I am one of those silly mac users.

Anyone else using final cut pro, if so ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH IT?

I'm basically having a hernia over here trying to edit my video because I'm so confused. I have all the BASE footage down, it's the fine tuning it part that is killing me slowly from the inside out. The User's Manual isn't much help either.

i'm in the process of learning it... what exactly is the problem with the fine tuning?

It's been a while since I used that thing... what version are you using? I'll probably might be able to help you. (maybe)

TIming. Most of my footage is synchronized with the song but certain parts show too much or too little of a scene that I *don't* want. I try slowing it down but then the entire duration gets stretched and the rest of the footage is out of synch.

Well as I previously stated, I have all my footage down now, and most of it is synchronized to the song I'm using. The only issue is that there are a couple scenes that cut to a different scene too fast so I'm trying to slow it down (since some of this I added AFTER the base footage was all down), but it makes all the footage after that out of synch when I slow it. I mean I know I can manually synchronize it again after, but that's a lot of effort to make over one small change. There has to be an easier way.

i've only had a few hours in FCP so far and i can see what is causing the problem... i have yet to figure out how to disable the "ripple" edit it does. I could scan through the book i'm using to figure it out, but i'm sure someone with more experience with FCP might be able to help better then i can. I also don't have a Mac at home so i can only use FCP when i'm at school.

Well if you can figure anything out, it would be highly appreciated!

The ripple effect that happens when you slow down footage (all the footage after it moves forward a couple seconds because the duration gets stretched).
