AS Media Skills audit bait tutorial

We had a Final Cut pro-Bait tutorial which helped us learn the basics of editing in Final Cut pro.

Firstly we learned how to set the in and out points on any of the clips. First double clicked the clip I wanted to use in the left hand side window which has the inventory of clips that have been imported into the project. It then appears in one of the two screens, it appears in the left screen. Here you will be able to set the in and out points. To do this, you play the the clip and when you want it to come in you use the keyboard shortcut "i" then to set the out point you press the keyboard shortcut "o" .

After the in and out points have been established you can then drag the clip down onto the timeline. When you drag it down you have place in the middle where there is a downwards pointing arrow then let go off the mouse button and your clip will be on the timeline ready.

We also learned how to edit the videos by cutting them withe the razor tool. First you have to select the razor tool from the right hand side toolbar and then cut the clip on the timeline on the point that you want to cut the clip. These were the basics we learnt to get us to become more familiar with Final cut pro.
