I've learned many more keyboard shortcuts to use that makes it easier and comfortable to use while editing. Another thing i learned is making it a simpler way to bring clips down to the timeline, knowing if it's overwrite or inserted. And unlocking the sequence and locking the sequence so that i can use a voiceover, or not showing parts of films or audio. And also, adjusting the audio levels in each clip to make it sound even and normal.
I learned a lot of keyboard shortcuts that make it a lot easier and faster to edit. I also learned how to edit sound clips and make them the right DB level. I learned a lot of different ways to put clips on the timeline Overwrite and Insert editing. How to zoom in and out on the timeline. And about snapping and the keyboard short cut N.
Something i learned in lesson two was how to overwrite a clip. Which you can do by moving your clip in the viewer or by pressing the keyboard shortcut F10
The 4 different ways you can override and insert the footage is 1. drag n drop 2. drag to the right into the red or yellow boxes 3. click on the footage n then click the red or yellow boxes or keyboard short cuts.
to add a bin inside a bin you highlight the bin the right click n add new bin
what i learned in final cut pro is a bunch of keyboard short cuts like shift command - a lets you select all of the clips in the timeline; snapping on or off will be n; shift T makes the bars higher or lower in the timeline. one thing i know i should've already known about keyboard short cuts but i just learns is that shift always makes you do the opposite, kinda how it does for the buttons on the keyboard, the the visibility controls help you put things in a difference spot where you want it to go before you drag or insert or overwrite a clip. inserting a clip puts it right before the clip before it so it makes it clean and you don't have to drag it over. the overwrite button makes it where you can put a clip over another clip. the keyboard short cuts for these are insert-F9 and and the overwrite is the F10.
I learned by highlighting a bin, and right clicking, selecting "new bin" is how you create a bin within a bin. Using the hand tool in the viewer lets you drag audio into the timeline. Highlighting a clip and pressing the Delete key is called a "Lift Delete". Pressing the other Delete key (by the End and page down key) is called a Ripple Delete because it snaps the clips together. (Gets rid of the gap.)
There was a lot I did learn and a lot I didn't learn, besides the fact i wasn't here. Knowing the how the snapping works what, keyboard shortcuts I can use to bring my shots into the time, how to zoom using the "+-" signs. Working with bens and how to create bens inside of bens to be more organized with your audio and clips. Getting into the deepest depth of Final Cut make you realize what this program can actually do. The basics are easy but what I have learned now can help my basic work, turn in a much greater production using the tools I have learned from FCP Lesson 2. Working with footage from sea world and having short challenge from Mr. K using the knowledge we have learned from Final Cut are very enjoyable. Learning how to Overite/Edit "f10" you can drag and drop your clip, keyboard shortcut, or even clicking the "Red Button" in the canvas window can help your clips come together and create a film in your timeline. I also learned you can have more than one sequence in each project and that allows to edit more films or even create different films which can be a great tool wen editing.
I can add the Z (zoom), Command + or - (zoom), zoom slider (zoom), Shift + Z (Toggle Timeline Track Height), Command + A (select all), Command + Shift + A (deselect all), Shift + Z (shows all of the audio and video in the Timeline), and delete (2 different kinds: lift delete and ripple delete) to my "editors tool kit". I can also add the red and yellow buttons on the Canvas to my tool kit. To overwrite video or audio, the following ways can be used: clicking the red overwrite button in the Canvas, pressing the keyboard shortcut F10, dragging to the Overlay Edit Window in the Canvas, and dragging to the Timeline. To insert video or audio, the following ways can be used: clicking the yellow insert button in the Canvas, pressing the keyboard shortcut F9, dragging to the Overlay Edit Window in the Canvas, and dragging to the Timeline. The audio and video target patch panel is also helpful and can be used in my tool kit. To target where video and/or audio will go, the buttons, marked a1 (audio) and a2 (audio) or v1 (video), must be put on the tracks that they are supposed to be on by: clicking on the track number, right clicking on the track number and selecting which button will go there, or dragging the buttons to the tracks. To turn an audio or video track on/off, you click on the far left green button on the track. To lock/unlock an audio or video track, you click on the padlock button.
Alex-I know you were absent but remember the resources provided. You need to go and watch the Podcast instead of spending time on Facebook or ESPN as I see now that is what you are doing.
Although i am used to the traditional drag and drop technique it was cool to learn Final Cut Pro has keyboard shortcuts that can make editing easier. For example, inserting and overwriting clips in the timeline is more friendlier knowing all ways to do it. Also until know i didn't know why my playhead always snapped to an end or start of a clip on a sequence. Now i know how turn it off and track through the timeline more easier.
I learned about the source controls and what they are used for. I will definitely be using them in the future. They jsut make adding audio easier...instead of raising both the video and the audio 4 channels (or however many) I can now have the video go in its spot and at the same time place the audio down a few tracks to its spot. Those buttons are handy.
The "editor's tool box" has been significantly expanded by Lesson 2 of Final Cut Pro 7. For instance, zooming in is as simple as pressing Option-+ for zooming in, and Option-- for zooming out. Command-A will select every clip or audio track you currently have; Shift-Command-A deselects them all. The red Overwrite button will edit a clip into the Timeline at the expense of any foolish clip standing in its way. The yellow Insert button is kinder, as it simply asserts its place in the Timeline without destroying any other clips. Though it may cause some relationships to be strained. An Overwrite edit can also be done by dragging a clip into the Timeline so that the arrow points down, by hitting F9, or by dragging a clip into the Canvas and selecting the "Overwrite" option. Inserting is similar; by dragging a clip into the Timeline so the arrow is pointing right, by hitting F10, or by dragging a clip into the Canvas and selecting the Insert option, you can initiate an Insert edit. Bins within bins can be effective editing tools, as they allow not only management, but micromanagement. They can be created by opening a Bin, then within that Bin, right-clicking and selecting New Bin, using the Command-B shortcut, or by going to the File menu and selecting New Bin. The padlocks on the extreme left of the timeline lock audio or video tracks into place. Highlighting a clip and hitting "Delete" is a lift delete; Ripple Deletes are initiated by hitting the Delete key near the End and Page down keys, and after it's done, will snap the remaining clips together, unless those clips are separated by an overarching audio track. All in all, my editor's toolbox has been increased in size and complexity considerably by FCP7 lesson two.
Where to start...well one of the first things that I thought was really handy dandy was the controlling were you want your video or audio to go. It was always really hard for me to put my audio AND video in the right place where I wanted it to go. Now that I know what to do, it wont be as big of a struggle to do so. The creating a bin inside of a bin I thought was a pretty pointless piece of information at first. Once I start getting deeper into FCP that is gonna save my butt so many minutes of trying to figure out where that clip of the puppy sniffing a flower, or whatever the clip maybe, and let me have more time to edit. Another thing is the countless and almost infinite ways to overwrite and insert a clip onto the timeline. Im really excited to start using this program this summer, and possibly pass the FCP certification test ( which I know I will), and maybe get a decent job somewhere using video! :D
I've learned how to get a clip to the timeline without the audio using the source and destination on the target patch panel. And vice versa. Also, to use the z key to get the zoom tool, and how to overwrite and insert clips with the keyboard shortcuts, the buttons, the edit overlay, and just dragging to the timeline and knowing that the down arrow is overwrite and the right arrow is the insert. To deselect something, you can press shift+command+A or click the gray area on the timeline. To create a new bin within a bin and get organized, you highlight the main bin, right click and select "new bin".
I learned how to adjust the height of the clip in the timeline. I learned how to zoom in and out of the timeline. Also, how to create a new sequence and a bin inside a bin.
I am learning a lot of keyboard shortcuts. Which makes editing my films easier and faster. Inserting and overwriting clips is a neat thing to know. I like how you can increase the size of the timeline. I am learning to edit audio much better now. Like for instance if I am editing an interview, but I also have music in the background. I am learning to use key frames to lower the audio so you can hear the person speaking. Then afterwards I can raise the background music back up. I also like the "J" "K" "L" shortcuts a lot. I definitely have to say Final Cut Pro is the best video editing program I have worked with so far. I can't wait to learn more!
