Editing Flow in Final Cut Pro There's a basic system to how Final Cut encourages you to edit: Load a clip from the Browser into the Viewer. Set the In and the Out for the clip. Edit the clip from the Viewer into the Timeline. View the finished result in the Canvas. Although there are lots of different ways you can accomplish each step, these four steps lie at the core of all your editing. You'll perform them dozens, even hundreds, of times in each project.You may recognize these steps as a subset of the nine-step editing workflow you learned about in Chapter 1. That's because even though many shows may not need any special effects or animation, they each need their clips strung together in the right order, then viewed to make sure everything looks right. |
