Introduction to Final Cut Pro






The latest media programme we learnt how to use was Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is an application which allows a sequence of shots to be cut together in order to create a narrative or a montage.



We began by using the Final Cut Server. The function of this technology is to store projects and stop work being lost. It also enables you to access your work easily as you can check work in and out.



We then moved on to use Final Cut Pro, which is the actual editing software. Within, Final Cut Pro we created a Log Bin, which allowed us to select the shots within our sequence that we didn't want to use as they were flawed (e.g lacked continuity or clear focus etc). We did this by selecting the best shots in our piece and placing them in the Log Bin ready for use on the timeline.



We then arranged our selected shots on the chronological timeline which helps to create continuity within the seqquence so that the each shot in the scene seemed to flow into each other.
This versatile programme enables the user to be creative by editing and trimming shots, making a more polished and finalised sequence.
