I visited my local Apple Store yesterday to enquire about training courses for Final Cut Pro on the Mac. Sadly they no longer provide this training.

I remember when the retail stores first opened and they had purpose built rooms for all sorts of training and presentations. It’s a shame that has all gone now.

YouTube has some, also Udemy.
And there are free books released by Apple in the Books App.
Should be enough to get you started.

Would be great if Final Cut for iPad could, you know, render in the background...

If your using FCP in Stage-Manager as a window, it "renders in the background".

Awesome! I use Final Cut Pro occasionally on my iPad Pro so I’m glad that it’s been updated with more features

Final Cut Pro is now even compatible on the new $349 iPad:
