I just purchased FCPX, and while I have a little experience with simple video editing, this is a much more complex application. The course was a great introduction, thorough enough to get me up and running.

this got me from zero knowledge to making a music video in about 4 days, with a bit of extra googling.

A great introduction to the basics of FCP. If you are just trying to establish an understanding of the basics, this is the perfect course.

Totally recommendable for FCPX novice users. I was FCP6 formerly user and now I've chosen comeback to video production. The gap between FCP early versions and actual FCPX is quite huge, a very different NLE concept that will demand to you learn from beginning
