…Final(ly) Cut Studio 2!

What can I say. No wonder Final Cut Studio is the ultimate editing, all-in-one solution for every film maker out there. My relationship with it has been similar to, when you have some girl you can start dating but in the meantime you’ve been looking at her for almost a year and haven’t said a word.

I had Final Cut Studio 2 laying around for almost one year. Bought a Canon HD camera in Japan (half the price is always good) and shot my whole honeymoon. Bought a new hard drive, which I called “Final Cut Scratch”, downloaded the whole 180 clips from the honeymoon and they’d be laying low in my special hard drive for almost 6 months. Today I said to myself “ENOUGH!”, so I started using it around. At first (and my usual impatience doesn’t help one bit) I started to imagine what I’d like to do with it, but I was getting frustrated because I was still discovering things by myself, but then later and after some patiently researched documentation, things started rolling smoothly. After a couple of hours I was already using Motion and Final Cut Pro comfortably.

Now, and as a little kid, I’m off to bed and can’t stop thinking about finishing editing the whole honeymoon. 

I guess I deserve to watch it decently after 6 months.

Thank you Apple

 

And the best place to talk on the phone is…

I had to wait literally 1 minute to try and go up the stairway. There were 6 other people waiting ahead of me. Guess what. She stood there talking even after we managed to squeeze in to go up. Oh technology!
