Todays lesson we were learning how to use the program 'final cut pro'. We did the 'Bait Tutorial' to get used to using this special 'editing programme' due to the fact its one of the programmes we will use in our project to edit our thriller openings. It allowed me to put together different scenes onto a timeline but also edit out parts that i didnt want in my sequence. I learnt how to put a small sequence together, once i opened final cut pro at first it took me a while to get used to it but after i got the hang of it it seemed very easy to use.
There were three separate windows. One of the windows was a browser window through this window i could browse through all the different clips that i could put onto my final sequence. From the browser window i could drag and drop the clip i wanted onto my time line and also edit the bits out what were no longer needed.
This image below shows what the browser window looked like. As you can see there where alot of different clips that i could use, i looked threw them and found the ones i thought would work well together.
The second window that i could see was for the clip itself where you could cut clips using 'inputs' and 'outputs' I did this by simply clicking 'I' on my keyboard where i wanted the edit to start and 'O' where i wanted the clip to end. After placing the input and output you should see two little blue arrows that points to where you started and stopped your edit. After you did that you grab it and drag ot to your timeline where you can view what you have in the other viewing screen.
Below the image you see shows what the second box looks like.
The next image i have inserted will show what the Inputs and Outputs looked like. The part i selected in red shows the amount of clip that i wanted to drag onto my timeline.
The 3rd box was the 2nd viewing screen. This window was to show what your final sequence would look like after you have edited the clips. After you press play on the time line at the bottom of the program it would run threw what you have put on the timeline and this would show up on the 2nd Viewing box.
