I found this video tutorial one night when I was frantically trying to figure out why I wasn't successful at final cut express. She saved my buns.

Very, very useful for a beginner

I'm doing a multimedia project for a journalism class and my instructor expects us to use FCE without being taught. I did a ton of research before stumbling across this video and it has been SUCH a huge help. It may not be what advanced audio-editors are looking for, but it's perfect if you're clueless like me. Thanks so much for the great instruction!

Jeanne the audio waver!

Jeanne is a great teacher! These lessons may appear basic but that is because Final cut is a big piece of software. I think they are EXCELLENT tutorials. I particularly like Jeanne impersonating the wave forms. Thank you so much great tutorials!

Pretty basic stuff. I was hoping for more detail such as export/resample and import.

I like her teaching technique and it's a big subject. I really needed to find out how to sync sound with video for a music video and it isn't there. I still don't know how to make my audio play, believe it or not. I'll have to go back and watch it again.
