Skills Audit Livetype and Soundtrack pro

We learned how to use two different programs that will help with making our title sequences.

one of the programs we learned to use was: Soundtrack pro.

Soundtrack pro is used to make the music for your recorded footage, having music and sound in your title sequence is very important because it sets the mood and directs the audience to what they are going to expect to see. We learned the basics in soundtrack pro and practiced by playing around and making our own little pieces of film music. We learned how to browse through all the different sounds and drag them onto different tracks. Also we learned how to cut and shorten the clips using the blade tool.

Another program we learned to use was: Live Type

Live type is used to create the actual written titles for your clips. We learned how to create text and put different effects on them. on both programs we learnt how to export the titles to put them into final cut to be edited and to be merged with footage, also in both programs we learned how to import the video footage we are making titles or music for to be in the background on the programs.
