Hands On Finally

Sept. 30, 2008

   The Days has finally arrived and I got my first whack at Final Cut Pro….  It was a bit more challenging than expected, the tutorials can only prepare for so much and well let’s just say it wasn’t enough.  I’ve got to cut Final Cut Pro some slack, the actual footage I was given to edit had already been edited partially.  In addition to this I didn’t really have any direction or vision.  I think I can do better next time if I’m editing some footage that I shot maybe.  I pretty much went through and made some cuts discarded some footage and even made some transitions but overall I didn’t know where I wanted to go with the footage and I don’t think I got the best out of this experience.  Next week I’ll be sure to seek guidance from my mentor and hopefully have a more meaningful second experience than I did with my first.
