Techniques for Outputting Long Projects
Many of the shows I edit are 30 minutes or longer. Although editing a 30- or 60-minute show in a single sequence in Final Cut is possible, I rarely do it. Instead, I break my show up into acts (or segments) and edit each act in its own sequence. This allows me to see my individual clips more easily, without having to zoom in and out along a huge Timeline.[View full size image] Then, I create a master sequence with all my acts neatly arranged with room for commercial breaks. Or, if I'm doing something without commercials, I simply butt two segments together with no break.This practice of creating a master sequence of all the different acts makes final output to tape simple.
NOTE | A Simple Technique to Improve Output
Here's a quick tip that helps improve outputting: before you start the final output, do a File > Save As and save your project with a new name; for instance, My Project v2. As you will learn in the Troubleshooting section of the Appendix, "Additional Resources," Save As fixes any internal problems with your files that can mess up output.Doing a Save As every few days during editing is a good idea in general, just to keep project files clean. However, this is an especially good technique to make sure your outputs go smoothly. |
