Learning the Filters were cool but I’m tired of this footage

October 21, 2008

Alright now that I’ve learned how to use the transitions maybe this week I’ll get some new footage and I can start something new in Final Cut a project of my own.  Nope!! Today “Alan the same thing that you did with the transitions last week I want you to do this week but with the filters.  I want you to use every filter until you know what each one does.”  Cool that’s how I learned to use the transitions even though I can’t stand to look at this same footage for another second let alone a whole day but ok.  Everything started out pretty smooth just as it had with the transitions until I started getting these error messages needs to be rendered. huh?  So I gave my mentor a call and he then told me how to render footage over the phone and I went on about the business of learning each and every filter in Final Cut Pro.
