This is a typical Final Cut screen as you edit. This was taken quite some time befor i finished hence why there isnt many insercians. It can be quite difficult to comprehend with the programme but althought it can make your really angry at times, it is without a doubt a brilliant piece of software.
Through out editing the amount of times i have seen this, or say had to make a difference in the time line is stupid. It plays a very important role in the trailer it can be for anything, audio, text, pictures and of corse the clips themself. You can alter what happens in a timeline by putting key frames (the small dots) to select the ares that you want to differ. This can do things such as alter sound, change sizes of images and much more.

Out of the 60 odd clips i recorded in the end after seeing if eacvh would fit i only ended up with aroun 6-10. That make it seem such a hastle to go through all that just for the amount you will get. But dont be to quick in thinking that because it isnt true. the clips you dont use can be inserted if you have any problems. I know i had to do it at least once in my trailer. The programme shows a ver inication to every clip or file. I started off not liking the programme but now i cant get enough of it.
Again as i said earlier you can see vaguely that i have altered the timeline to change the text on screen. This text appears from nothing and then gets to a certain size then dissapears again. alot it allows you to change the font of the text, colour, alignement and much more. That is even without effects added !
This is the start sceen of my trailer. Im now just
trying to do something with my Slight Tilt logo but it is prooving to be quite hard as it seems to go to a bad blur. But again i hope to sort this out asap.
I have uploaded these screen shots of Final cut pro to show some of the basics you need to be able to master to get a good editing technique. I am getting to the stage where i can tell what will and wont happen and if so what i need to do to sort the problem out. Also im getting good at finding loop holes into situations that occure with the software. This programme has been a challenge but now seems interesting and i am happy to use it when i get the chance. The amount of different things you can do with it is boundless. Each time i have been on it i have learnt a lot of new and interesting things to do.
