Chapter 1 A First Look at Final Cut Pro
Opening Final Cut Pro
You’ll start by opening Final Cut Pro and creating a sample project.
To open Final Cut Pro:
Double-click the Final Cut Pro icon in your Applications folder.1
If you see the Choose Settings dialog, click OK to accept the default settings.2
When you open Final Cut Pro, it checks to see if a camera or other device is connected
to your computer. If no device for capturing video is connected, a dialog appears
asking whether you want to connect a device and have Final Cut Pro check again, or
continue without connecting a device.
