Final Cut Pro
 |
| Final Cut Pro is a piece of professional editing software that we have used for editing |
FINAL CUT PRO VS. iMOVIE
- Final Cut Pro, while more difficult to master, offers far more features
- With FCP we have the ability to add filters, such as 'Light Ray'
- We are also able to add interesting and complex titles, that should fit well with our sequence
- We also have the ability to reverse shots, slow down and speed up shots
- We can operate in 16:9 resolution, good for widescreen, offering a heightened visual experience. This feature is unavailable in iMovie
PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED
- While I appreciate learning software like this would take many months to fully learn, we have encountered many basic problems that have slowed our progress
- First of all, for whatever reason all of our files almost vanished once from saving on FCP
- Whenever a change it made to a shot in FCP, it has to be rendered again, a process that can take anywhere between 2 seconds and 10 minutes
- Getting used to the Apple Keyboards is difficult after being used to Windows. Shortcuts are different and it can take quite some time to work out what you want to do and how to go about doing it
- It is difficult to drag shots, we ran into problems by moving shots onto different levels
- It is very difficult to change sound levels, unlike other editing software sound editing is not included, and is instead on GarageBand
- Learning how to add text has been very difficult, and we still haven't achieved what we want
However, it will be worth it in the end if we can master FCP just enough to produce a decent 2 minute thriller film.
