Online Video: New Opportunities Flourish Amid Some Drawbacks
Online Video provides a world of opportunity for expanding the use of video for both personal and professional reasons.
Online video makes it practical for any individual or business to essentially create their own TV channel with personalized programing of their choice.

Compare that with the multi-millions once required for a start-up TV channel and it’s easy to see why online video is so wildly popular.

Multiclip Editing in Final Cut Pro
This is a variation on the basics of multiclip setup and editing in FCP. Normally, it’s just a simple matter of selecting two or more video clips, syncing them using T/C, audio or video hits common to all the tracks, then creating a multiclip.
