Hello Students,
I am out sick today, but keep working on your video projects. If you feel you are close to finished, think of other ways to enhance your project.
- Listen to all audio and check for clips that cut in and out abruptly, double click an audio layer to adjust its decibel level and then re-render audio to hear the change.
- Narration should be crisp and clear and not drowned out by ambient noise or overly loud music. If you record audio make sure it is in a very quiet room. Most macs have a utility to record audio, look in your application folder.
- Use the Motion Tab to create split screen effects, crossfades, animation or other effects. remember to double click your clip to adjust its motion parameters.
Below are some video clips that discuss these techniques. Watching these are invaluable, so take the time if you are struggling with Final Cut.
