Final Cut Pro tutorial


Before we could start editing on the 'Macs' we had to have done our 'Final Cut Pro' tutorial, which is basically the 'software' that we use in order for us to 'edit' out 'film' and get an almost complete 'footage'.

We were first of all taught how to upload our footage into the 'video drive' before we could even start up Final Cut Pro. Once we did that we had to 'download' all our clips from our 'memory cards' into Final Cut. We were shown the 'two screens' one of them called a 'viewer' where we can watch the footage we have edited. The next thing we were shown was the 'timeline' which is at the bottom of the Whole screen, and its function is to show us how long our film is and it is where most of the editing is done to cut, 'speed up' or 'slow down'.

Whilst using the we were also shown the toolbar which came in handy. on it include the 'mouse' clicker and the 'razor blade' which is a tool that allows us cut pieces of footage to suit us and come in great use whe we are 'match cutting'.
