Editing Update - 13/02/13

Today my school time table is pretty much a free day other than the two hours in the morning (period 1&2) I have which is media.  This is giving myself and Becky the opportunity to finish off our editing.  As Becky has a Dance deadline approaching we have agreed that Becky will edit on her own, with me on the Mac next to her while I worked on my Digi Pack and website.  This way she will be able to prove that she has had a good amount of time editing as she hasn't been able to put in as many hours as me being tied up with other subjects.  Because of this we agreed for her to edit for periods 1,2, break time and 3.  I then went on to edit periods 4, lunch, 5 and after school.  Myself and Kirstie stayed until 6pm to make sure that I could get everything I can in on the editing.

I am really pleased with the effects I added today.

Before this piece of coursework I never had the chance to learn anything from Final Cut because I had problems with my previous coursework groups.  I feel that this time I have learned to become very independent with it, which has helped me a lot on learning how to use the software well.  I had the help of Kirstie as she has finished her video with Daniel before us.  I really appreciated having Kirstie talk me through different tools and techniques I could use of which I wasn't aware of.

This was one tool I used throughout.  Because I am using that shade of blue throughout on different clips.  To keep it the same shade of blue and the same effect on those chosen effects I highlighted the clip shown in the right box and went to file and copy.  I then highlighted another clip I wanted to have the same effect go to edit and then paste attributes this would then open a box:

 
You would tick the filters button, and then this would copy the effect into that  effect into that clip.
