Excellent Course with Detail

As a former technical writer, now Mom, I rate Jeanne's course as excellent because of her ability to speak to the layperson.

Jeanne's format is correct. That is, she begins at the beginning and progresses through the steps as you will need to know them. She does not skip around or tell you later in the steps that she forgot to tell you something earlier.

She took time to make a lesson plan or otherwise organize her agenda before she created these lessons. This is good for the rest of us.

I have viewed several similar tutorials and found myself confused or wanting, even in all my technical wisdom and fearless approach.

Thank you, Jeanne. Keep them coming. I plan to become an expert on Final Cut. Your lessons are key to that endeavor.

Jeanne,

YOU are so talented! Thanks for showing us how to use these effects in Final Cut Express HD on your Mac computer. You are an amazing teacher and have a great way of explaining how to use programs like these.

I'm glad you reviewed the process of rendering. This always annoyed me before because I hate how long it took to render but now I see I was doing it all wrong!

Thanks, love!
