Entry Number 5 - Final Cut Express (Week two)

This week on Final Cut Express we learnt how to capture clips of our footage.
We did this but rewinding or fast forwarding by using the 'J' and 'L' keys and then pressing "Capture Now". By doing this we can look at a certain bit of footage and then pressing 'Esc' we end the clip.

Remembering to name our clips was important as otherwise all clips would be hard to identify and plus it makes it very unorganised, making it harder to work.

Another think we learn was how to import music and and how the wave lengths work. Wave lengths help us to know which clip will fit to the music. We also learn by pressing 'N' on our keyboard, you can hit it in times with the beats which helps you know what pace you should do your clips at.

We got showed an example of this when there was the same footage but with different types of music. The first video had fast moving people which worked with the music well. The second clip has 5 split bar across the screen which represented the 5 beats in the music.
