today in class we learnt how to use final cut pro through a tutorial and developed my skills by hands on practice with using the program.
some of the skills that i learnt to use include:
Using the razor tool: the razor tool allows the user to cut into existing cuts and place different shots within the sequence without missing any of the existing clips and can make a sharper more desirable cut.
using the arrow tool : by using the arrow tool and depending in witch direction it is facing you can change where the actual cut and the existing edits are placed, if the arrow is pointing toward the right all the existing clips in the time line will move towards the right and if the arrow is facing downwards the clip will not move and of the existing clips and it will just place next to the others on the timeline.
marking in and out : using the I and O keys you can mark in and out of any original clip , this cuts sections of the clip that you wish to be in your sequence and when dragged from the box using the arrow tool it can be added to your sequence in any place of the timeline.
the double arrowed tool: the double arrowed tool can be used when you want to lengthen or shorten a clip that is already on your timeline dragging it to the left or to the right to change the length of the clip.
layering clips: when dragging clips onto the timeline they can be added to any of the top layers above your sequence , in final cut pro the top layer of the sequence will always be played over the original sequence on the bottom layers.
Match cuts : i learnt how to used various different camera angles and clips to match the motion of the actors and make the cuts look "invisible" and flow throughout the final cut.
