NOW AVAILABLE!

Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD has Arrived!  With over 4 hours of professional level training for Editors BY Editors, this 2 disc set will have you up and editing on Apple's latest version of Final Cut Pro in no time at all.

Hosted by Award Winning Editor, Recording Artist and Instructor Justin Paul.

Stop struggling with the Manual!

Edit Like a Pro with Final Cut Pro 4HD is the simplest, most effective way to learn this industry leading non-linear editing software.

2 Full Motion Video DVDs with nearly 5 Hours of Professional Level instruction will get you up to speed with Final Cut Pro FASTER than you ever thought possible!

Everything that you need to start cutting Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD is included on these 2 DVDs.

Don't be fooled by other "So Called" professional training media.  Seriously.  ANYONE can regurgitate the instruction manual chapter by chapter. What's the point of that?

Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro was designed by Editors who Edit and Teach other Editors how to edit - not by a product sales manager who just wants to sell more software licenses.

Sure, you get the manual - but the manual is about the software, NOT about the process.  And if you've ever cut anything on any non-linear or analogue system, you know that the manual is about as good as a coaster when it comes to showing you how to cut.

 

  • You could spend $1,200 on a few days of classroom instruction.

 

  • You could spend a few hundred bucks on digital downloads or streaming media tutorials.

And shortly after you do, you'll be spending more money

to get better instruction.

Start your Final Cut Pro Education off the Right Way.  Get comprehensive instruction from people who cut picture for a living.

 

Here's what's covered:

In order to learn Final Cut Pro HD, you could take classes.  If you've done any research, you already know that they can cost thousands and thousands of dollars.

You could by books.  But the truth is, you'll never get as much useful information as fast or as efficiently as you would if you could SEE how it's done.

What about other Final Cut Pro HD Training DVDs?  They are out there - we've seen them.

Are they any good?  Sure!  In some ways, they're great!  But where Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro really shines is:

It's Depth

I'm not sure anyone could teach you how to send email and surf the web in an hour, let alone show you how to operate the most advanced non-linear editing software on the market. With nearly 5 hours of Intense, Step By Step Instruction, you can get up to speed quickly with Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD.

Project Based

This is NOT a rehash of the Final Cut Pro HD Manual - It's like a Whirlwind Tour! Edit Like A Pro starts with the Interface, moves to Capturing Media, Editing, Adding Effects, Sound, Color Correction and then Tape Based and Digital Output - just like you were editing a real project.  As a matter of fact, the media that was shot for Edit Like A Pro was created specifically for the Edit Like A Pro Tutorials.

Convenience

It's on 2 DVDs. Full Motion Video that you can watch it on your TV (try that with CD-ROM or web based tutorials..) or have it open on your computer while your Final Cut Pro HD Software is running. (You'll need a DVD-ROM drive and a Sonic compliant software DVD player).

 For Editors by an Editor

Justin Pauls' credentials are outstanding.  He's a professional Editor, Instructor and a Recording Artist with contracts from Labels that you've heard of... He is NOT a product specialist or a sales manager who trains and then does "a little editing on the side".  He's the real deal.

Value

Many Final Cut Pro HD Training DVD's run $100 or more per hour of instruction. Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD should then cost $500 or more - but it doesn't!  It does NOT cost $300.  And today, it doesn't even cost $150. 

If you take advantage of this introductory offer, you can own Both DVD with over 4.5 hours of top quality, full motion professional level Final Cut Pro HD training for...

ONLY $147.00

 

Why so inexpensive?

Well, we realize that this collection of tutorials could easily cost $500 or $600 dollars. In fact, if you tried to get a single day of training from an Final Cut Pro HD School, you're likely to shell out $1000 or more.  Justin doesn't train individuals anymore, but he won't take on a project, even if it's only a day's edit, for less than $2,500.

So, what's the catch? 

It's really all about economics.  You see, our ordering and manufacturing service is automatic.  Our shopping cart is already securely set-up. You'll be getting 2 DVDs directly from our service bureau, so we don't have to pay anyone to answer the phone, take orders, pack up the box, ship the DVDs, etc.

And frankly, we want you to buy from us again.  We figure that if you like Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD, you'll be interested in the other Titles that we currently have under development (Author DVD's Like a Pro, Color Correction Like A Pro, Advanced Final Cut Pro HD Editing,  etc.).

When you're marketing your own Video, Editing or Multi-Media business, you know that the most expensive part of acquiring a customer is getting them to buy from you the first time.  So, once this purchase is out of the way, the next time you buy from us is more profitable.  Just like it is in the Video Business, repeat customers are your bread and butter.

That's the honest, frank and forward truth.  We don't need to make a mint from you.  Because we're mostly automated, and because Justin is an Editor first and an entrepreneur second, we can pass along substantial savings to you. We want to deliver exceptional value at unbeatable prices and keep you as a customer forever. That's how we compete.

This part is important - This really is an introductory offer to the public.  Until now we have been selling Edit Like A Pro with Final Cut Pro HD to private companies and corporations under a NDA at a price point MUCH higher than $147.00.  We're making this offer as a marketing test only.  We are likely to raise the price of this product as high as $259.00

So, early adopters win big.  Procrastinators pay extra.
