Why Final Cut Pro is hard
Final Cut Pro is Apple's professional video editor with a magnetic timeline, multicam editing, color grading, audio mixing, and motion graphics. New editors struggle with the timeline mechanics, compound clips, roles, and the difference between projects and libraries. Export settings are critical and confusing — wrong codec, wrong resolution, wasted hours.
How Tutor mode helps
Tutor mode watches your Final Cut timeline. Import a clip, make an edit, add a transition, then pause. Lumini explains what your timeline setup means, suggests keyboard shortcuts for faster editing, and points at the inspector and effects browser. 'You added a cross dissolve — try Cmd+T for the default transition, it's faster.'
How Lumini automates tasks
Lumini automates the export workflow and file management. 'Lumini, create a note with my export settings for this project.' 'Lumini, remind me to export the final cut at 5pm.' 'Lumini, open my export folder.' 'Lumini, search the web for Final Cut Pro color grading tutorials.'
