Media Technology: Final Cut Pro X

To add the technological knowledge I developed last year using Adobe Photoshop 11, Blogger and other methods,. 

I now have learned basic skills on Final Cut Pro X. 

Firstly I had to ensure the external hard drive and memory card was showing up on the home screen.

Secondly, I had to click on the external hard drive to ensure that is where my work would belong as the Mac itself wouldn't have enough memory. 

I then had to create a new event to save my work into.

I also had to click on the reel, then the external hard drive, create a new project.

After setting my folder up I had to click on the import media box and import all of the videos me, Greta and Rhea took in the lesson beforehand.

I had to click optimized media, analysed for balanced colour and analyse and fix audio problems and then import all. 

I had to move the playhead to the point in the primary storyline or a selected storyline (or make a range selection) where I wanted to insert the clip. Then click edit and insert.

To attatch a soundtrack I needed to go to file - import media and select my external hard drive. Choose the mp3 file of the song and select and import it. 

In conclusion I have learned how to add videos into the studio, add an audio track, how to scrub and how to set up the file and the external hard drive.
