INTRO TO FINAL CUT PRO

We learned all about the final cut pro server in this lesson, also we learned about how to log our shots and how to cut and edit them.

Final Cut Pro is a software package run on G5 Mac's, it is a non linear package which is timeline based.

first of, we learned how to store our projects and work. our school uses final cut pro server, this means that every time we use the computers and edit our work, we have to check our work out of a secure communal server, which reduces the risk of it being lost, we then have to check it back in after we finish with it.

After we learned how to do that and set up how we work, we logged our Rushes (everything we shot on the day). we did this by setting an "in" point on the timeline of what we shot, and an "out" point. we do this so we only edit and take the best shots that we actually want. the shots we log are put into the LOGGED BIN.

after that we saw a short demonstration of how to put shots onto the timeline onf Final Cut and how to edit two shots together into a coherent moving picture.
