Editing is storytelling. It’s choosing from a sometimes vast array of video and audio clips,
and assembling them into a coherent experience that can educate, excite, motivate, or
move viewers. Built on that fundamental truth of video editing, Final Cut Pro X enables a
rich workflow that permits you to approach editing as a storyteller, rather than an
equipment technician. The goal of this book is to guide you through that creative
workflow, structuring and refining a complete storytelling project from start to finish.
Along the way, you’ll learn features and acquire skills to realize high-quality editorial
results using Final Cut Pro.
For the new editor, Final Cut Pro will help you tell your story without the technical
frustrations you may have experienced with other video editing systems. For the seasoned
editor, Final Cut Pro can reinvigorate your editing creativity with unique features such as
the innovative Magnetic Timeline that encourages you to experiment with your story and
make complex editorial changes while eliminating the necessity to micromanage
individual clips and their relationships. |
