So one may think that the on-line networking site Facebook is just for fun, but don’t be fooled! It actually has a usefulness beyond connecting with high school classmates from yesteryear. Simply use the “Groups” tab under the main Facebook column on the left. It is here that you can search a plethora of potentially engaging/helpful/and downright needed associations. For example, I am the staff senior editor, and I occasionally need to troubleshoot issues that invariably come up. I use a variety of sources for inspiration and help, but I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of Facebook as one. But it dawned on me that maybe there are other editors who use Facebook who might be able to help me with what I was trying to figure out. Low and behold, there was!! Long story short, I joined 3 Final Cut Pro user groups, ranging from one that offers posts and tutorials to one that is a space for editors to chat. So maybe if there’s a program or technique that you utilize for your job, see if there’s a Facebook Group that supports it. Join it and see what you can learn!
Thanks T! I joined one of the FCP Facebook groups. Didn’t realize they existed. Good call!
