This would be my test video for Stop motion animation
and

Final Cut PROOO
Vid 1. Taking a tour of FCP X
Three main areas of final cut:
1.event library, 2.project library, 3.viewer
Event library stores and organizes all your media.
-audio skimming: view – audio skimming
-under event library clips there is a menu with slider to indicate the length of the clip. From ½ second to 10.
-can also show the wave forms.
Project Library:
-Each project can contain only one sequence.
-to show two screens for event and for project library
window- show event viewer.
One icon in left corner with light switch can change size of chips in project library and also video in relation to audio---far left under clip is only audio waveform, far right is no audio.
-be careful with projects and events folder.
Function left arrow- return to beginning
Function right- return to end
Arrows- frame by frame
Clip to clip- up and down arrows
Time reading above clips showing where in project program you are temporally.
To return to project library to access other projects click film canister in bottom left corner.
Vid 2. Creating and Organizing Events from Scratch
creating events:
-File-new event
-Right click on event library- new event
-Right click in drive you want to create event in and name event.
Bringing in footage:
-File-import-media (Command I)
-Within media import-select data and click “Import Selected”
-within the next pop up window:
Organizing
-copying files to FCP events folder means new media will be made and placed in media events. If unchecked, only a pointer file will show up, referring you to the location of the media.
-best to click if you want to copy all files to one folder.
-Button below (import folders as keyword collections)
-If media is organized in folders outside FCP the structure will remain unchanged when brought to FCP.
-Footage comes into final cut
-Gives files as pointer files first then creates media in background
-Clicking H.U.D (Heads up display) can see media being created
Vid 3. Playing and Marking Clips in Prep for Editing
->event
Open up file you want and select “list view”—this gives more room in the clip
J,K,L:
J-Play
K-Pause
L-Play Forward
I-set in pt.
O-set out pt.
It is nice to have three fingers on jkl and navigate/organize clips.
Play selection: press- “/” key
When roughly selected you can then move to the thumbnail view to get more room on the clip.
To mark and play in slow motion
Press K- then rock back on J or L to jump forward or back.
-You can make it a selection fav. and you can also rename, you can also save in sound bite keyword Selection
-make sure to save because exiting out will result in the erasing of the portion of the clip you selected.
Vid 4. Understanding Different Types of Editing Tools
-Insert edit: w
-can drop a selected clip in the beginning, middle or end of the clip in project library.
-can also drag clips to project lib.
command+ minus: zoom out
-Append Edit: e
-puts shot at the end regardless of where the playhead is
-overwrite edit: d (used to write over a shot or portion of shot)
-mark an “I” for in and an “O” for out just like how it's covered in the previous chapter.
- ctrl + d tells how long the in and out section is.
-When overwriting, the selected clip in the event library will run the same amount of time as the in and out shot you selected in the project library.
-Replace edit
To replace one shot with another, drag a marked clip from the event lib. Onto a clip in the sequence.
-when you see the green + sign, can replace, replace from the start, or replace from the end.

new skillz
Video 1. Understanding resolution
- Megapixels have nothing to do with resolution of video
- there are only 2 resolutions in video. 1080 HD & 720 HD. VERY IMPORTANT.
1080: 1920 x 1080 which equals to 2 mega pixels of photography.
720: 1280 x 720 which equals to 1 mega pixel.
This means normal videos being 30 fps (frame per second), there are 30 1 or 2 megapixel photos (frames) in one second.
Video 2. Frame Rate
- frequently used frames: 30 or 24 frame per second, but occasionally uses 60 also.
24 frame makes video look more film-like. Like Hollywood movies
Video 3. Understanding the challenge of shutter speed.
- When shooting 30 fps, 1/30 shutter speed is slowest possible. If 1/1000 was used, there will be a blank in between each frame.
- Frequently used shutter speed being 1/30 or 1/90. Occasionally 1/125.
Video 4. Getting the right exposure.
- Manual exposure is better for DSLRs.
- Histogram and light meter are used to check exposure.
- the only limit becomes the shutter speed.
- zoom lens is not ideal because of the smaller aperture range. Prime lenses are recommended.
- change of ISO and neutral density filter can help with exposure also.
ahhhh yeahhhh
