Training

During lesson, we were given tutorial packs to train us on the software we are going to be using (Final Cut Express). In this, we learned how to import files from the computer, how to render the clips, cut the clips and add freeze frames. We also learned how to control the volume of the sound on the clips, and how to fade in and fade out accompanying music. After we learned all of these things, we were given time to play around with the effects that can be added and also transitions.

I believe that the tutorial was extremely helpful as final cut express is more complex than iMovie. Before the training, I wouldn't know where to start and where to find all the correct tools.

I can now safely say that I have a basic understanding of the software and will be able to build on this during the editing process for the music video!
