Final Cut Pro Workshop

Today we had the opportunity to learn all about the editing software, Final Cut Pro! It was a great experience and we learnt lots of new skills and techniques from a professional editor and journalist.

Some tools and skills I learnt how to use were:

• new keyboard commands and shortcuts

• how to apply transitions

 

• using audio effects          

   

         

• adding and editing titles         

  

Here are the videos and bits of film we got to make and edit during the course of the workshop:

1. Here is a video where we used effects to slow down and speed up the film.

2. A video where we experimented with different effects such as colour, text and changing the opacity on a piece of film.

3. A video where we experimented with even more effects, but this time on some of our own footage rather than pre-recorded. We changed the opacity, added filters, edited sound and more.
