The video was very concise and a great help to understand the program. If I could, I would definitely buy the rest of her course. (I can't use my international CC to get more stuff!)

Excellent instructional video. In my case, the dumber you think I am the better. I need to be lead by the hand. This video did just that and I thank you very much.

Thank you for posting this lesson. I have been searching the internet, trying to find out how to use Final Cut Express. I find the user manual a little hard to understand. You have made it clear on how to start editing a video. Can you do a video explaining how to add different titles and transitions to the movie. I really want to start using my version of Final Cut but I can't get how to do titles!!! argh!!!

Great lesson, very easy to follow...I'm keeping my eye out for part two :)

It was way over my head BUT I watched it over and over, stopping the video to imitate what she was doing. She helped me a lot.

You really rock as a teacher thanks.
