I’d like to invite you to try the “Pick my brain” lesson which will allow you to ask any questions about the real world of Final Cut Pro.
Would you like the benefit of over 20 years of Final Cut Pro experience?
This is what you you can do in the Pick my Brain” Module:
Fix your immediate issues
Request an “Action plan” for suggestions of subjects you should know about Final Cut Pro.
Every session can be recorded and made available to you via DropBox for your review of the session
You receive one week’s one on one support after each session.
“Pick my Brain” is for both new and experienced users who need immediate help, when you just want someone to help you get things running again, without a fuss.
I help you identify your weak areas and create an action plan for you to follow after the session.
Typical problem areas that I’ve helped with in the past are:
The red clip with yellow exclamation mark
Errors on Export
Audio issues - Wind noise - Echo
Organizing footage - finding lost clips
Color correction - matching color between clips
Timing video to music tracks
The Spinning beach ball
We’ll meet at your convenience, usually for one hour on Zoom or Skype, you can see my screen or share your screen, where I can advise you how to set up Preferences and Settings personalized for your computer.
Each call can be recorded - no need to take notes, and you’ll receive a copy of the recording on DropBox along with the copy of your Action Guide.
After each session you receive 7 x days free email support for issues discussed in the “Pick my Brain” session.
I look forward to meeting you on-line soon.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Bruce.
Deadly! My session with Bruce today was really excellent. All my questions answered clearly and much more. Bruce has a very thorough knowledge of FCPX
- Bruce's response :
Deadly! I don't usually write reviews but if Bruce comes up in your search please do not hesitate to contact him!
I received a very quick response and he was very professional too.
Thank you !- Bruce's response :
Deadly! Only had the one introductory lesson but I was really happy with what I learnt. Bruce was very patient and gave me some extra time due to technical issues with my video. I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him and improving my FCPX skills!

Bruce, I'm thrilled with the session we had yesterday. The outcome gave me a complete understanding of a complex situation I was dealing with and a vastly superior final product than what I even imagined.
You are an amazing educator and worth multiples of your affordable fee. Best part was that neither of us had to leave our desks and here we are continents apart.
I highly recommend Bruce as he is a highly professional, patient and overall excellent tutor.
Since 2022, we have have had several lessons where Bruce supported me at the beginning of my Final Cut Pro learning. I now understand how Final Cut Pro works on a practical basis because I can get things done without complication.
What I liked about learning with Bruce, is that he was able to provide suggestions of how to produce the video with my plan in mind, rather than following a strict 'course like' agenda.
Good things is that the sessions are recorded and provided on dropBox shortly after the lesson, so that I can play back for review when I need to.
Bruce sends an email following your lesson with recommendations on what to do with Final Cut Pro learning in the future.
I felt relaxed [as I am a mature student, my learning curve may not be as fast! ] as Bruce kept each lesson flowing without pressure.
Also good to know I had a week of Support after each lesson. I’m also happy to be able to plan ahead for further lessons giving time for the information in the first lesson to settle in.
Thanks Bruce. Highly recommended by me. Thanks again!
Adam ScougallI have been receiving lessons from Bruce on Final Cut Pro (FXCP) for the past 2 years. Bruce is by far the most effective instructor that I have had for learning an advanced video editing program. Bruce’s strengths are his deep knowledge of FXCP, his clarity in explaining key concepts and the intricacies of the program. He has been able troubleshoot any difficulties that I have had using the program. Bruce is very flexible and responds in a timely manner to requests for lessons and advice about the program. Bruce will be able to advance your knowledge and develop your confidence in using FCXP in very quick time. You will be in highly capable hands when you have Bruce as your tutor.

I know Bruce through his excellent tips and tutorials for iMovie and Final Cut Pro, as presented on his YouTube channels, and through exchanges of correspondence.
Bruce is meticulous in the preparation and presentation of all his training content on YouTube. His videos are precise, informative, clearly illustrated and presented in a warm, engaging manner.
Bruce has extensive experience in the video industry, having been a State distributor for Apple products and a software trainer for the original version of Final Cut Pro, in addition to other industry activities. Over a period of twelve years, he operated his own wedding video business, including the professional videography and editing aspects.
On the tutoring side, Bruce has worked with online students in USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia, and is therefore well versed in the discipline of one-on-one tutoring and training.
Knowing his background in the industry, and having viewed and enjoyed many of his tips and tutorials, I can highly recommend Bruce as an invaluable resource for those seeking an introduction to video editing, and for editors looking to advance their skills in the use of Final Cut Pro and iMovie.
John CI have known Bruce for several years and we have spent a lot of time together via Zoom. Bruce was my tutor on FCPX and then we moved to a relationship where we collaborate on a lot of work. He is a passionate and dedicated FCPX teacher with an exceptionally deep knowledge of editing. We work on some interesting challenges together and there is nothing that he can’t solve. Bruce is easy going, has a great sense of humor, and easily adapts to the communication style of his students. I high recommend Bruce as someone who knows how to teach in such a way that his students quickly become confident in new found skills.
