Editing


Today we started to edit our films. We imported all of our clips from the hard drive into our folders and then imported them onto Final cut pro.

Displayed was a list of locations, and inside was all the clip we took from that location. Once we decided which part of the clip we wanted, we created a starting point by pressing ‘I’ for input, and selected a finish point by clicking O for output


Once we had done this for all of the clips, we decided a rough order for them. By selecting a clip and dragging it, you can arrange the order of the clips.

The problems I faced during the process, was that half way through a clip there was a shot of someone’s legs. I had to cut the clip before the legs were seen, and join on another similar clip. This was easily done by using the input and output tools. However it was hard to find a point where the clips could join without effecting the smoothness of the clip. If we had the chance to film again, I would make sure there were no unwanted objects in shot.
