Dynamic Trimming in Final Cut Pro

With all of the negativity around FCPX, I figured it was time to really look closely at how trimming can be performed in FCPX and Avid. This walkthrough of using the trimming commands during playback shows that maybe FCPX isn't so bad after all. Look forward to another video coming soon on how similar trimming is in Avid to Final Cut Pro X.

Shortcut References:
