Working with Multiple Aspect Ratios in FCP 

Multi aspect ratios

Nice little tutorial from proapptips.com on dealing with 4:3 footage in a 16:9 timeline or vice versa. This certainly comes up not just with different aspect ratios but also different formats - dropping SD footage (usually 4:3) into an HD (always 16:9) timeline. This particular tutorial is just dealing with SD footage, but there are additional issues to be dealt with (fields and scale, for instance) when working with HD timelines.

Proapptips.com looks to be chock full of tips for the Apple Pro Apps, I'm reading more there now. Looks worthwhile...

Hey Mike
thanks for posting about the video tutorials and about the site in general
Lots of fun running Proapptips.com
 
That's a good site.

There's a great little Motion tutorial site with some worthwhile examples at motionsmarts.com.

The site is really a great resource and if nothing else there is a good explanation of Motion issues with resolution, which can really affect the speed of your Motion projects.

If I was teaching a class on Final Cut Studio this would be required reading.
