provides immediate, succinct knowledge of FCPX and editing in general

first time using wyzant and found Blake very knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all helpful to answer the variety of basic FCPX questions I had, but then also in video editing in general his rare strength of actually listening to your question before answering is refreshing will use him again in the future as I grow into FCPX

Tutor responded:

Thanks a ton Scott! Enjoyed meeting you and also very much enjoyed our time together!

Very kind and patient

Blake taught me how to do a multicam edit in Final Cut Pro. His instructions were clear and he was very patient with me. It was a pleasant hour that we spent together. Thanks Blake.

Patient and helpful FCPX tutor

Excellent help for Final Cut Pro video editing. Experienced, patient, calm, friendly and helpful. Answered all my questions and helped solve all of my problems. Definitely recommend.

Brandon, 1 lesson with Blake

Knew a lot about video editing!

I came into the lesson with no background knowledge about editing and he was able to help me. He was also nice to let me reschedule when I had a computer issue.

Thank you so much! Looking forward to hearing back about how well your video performs :)

High level of expertise, patient, problem-solver, would definitely hire again

Blake taught me the following basics in FCPX: how to organize files, how to create keywords, how to assign keywords to different clips, and how to synch files. He also fixed a problem we discovered during the tutoring session. I was able to learn what I needed to learn, and get the unexpected problem solved! He also gave me some great creative input for my project. I will likely hire him again if/when I reach a stumbling block. Also, very easy to communicate with in terms of setting up appointment. Highly recommended.

Very responsive

Blake was able to assist me with no notice and help me check my settings to help me with a problem. I highly recommend him, and he was very knowledgeable about FCPX.

Thanks so much :)

Got right to the source of the problem

I had some Final Cut issues that I did not know how to install. Blake logged in on a zoom call and in short order figured out a way that I could continue. Also showed me a better way to edit more efficiently, so great use of the time.

Thank you for your kind response.

Knowledgeable and patient

Blake definitely is a seasoned professional and improved my skill considerably in Final Cut. I chose him because of his considerable experience not only in the use of final cut, but also having the number of weddings, which was the particular help that I needed. I had shot video with several cameras, and was not used to doing a multi cam edit.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much 🙏

Blake was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and very patient.

He was able to figure out my initial difficulty and once that was accomplished, we were able to move onto different aspects of simple editing. I was able to do simple editing after the session was over to get my first set of clips to a workable size. I look forward to working with Blake in the future.
