Editing with final cut pro x tools

If you shoot with DSLR, do multi-camera shoots, or shoot with dual-system sound, it is best

to read this short article. Last year, I was hired because the editor for any low-budget

function. I wanted to take a minute to inform you about my knowledge.

Around the day the files arrived on a really hard drive, I was anxious to get started. I had just

started employing Final Cut Pro X. In actual fact, the application was only about 3 months

old, with no feature updates. So, I knew I was going into some unexplored territory. I had

accomplished 3 30 second spots and a short film, inside the new Final Cut Pro X , so while it

was new, I knew the extraordinary speed benefits and ease of use, it offered. So, I knew the

application was up for the challenge of editing a function. It really is essentially among the

very first, if not the initial function film edited in FCPX.

So, I began the very first day importing and logging footage, which for me, includes watching

the starting of every single clip to find out the Scene/Shot/Take/ and other Notes around the

slate, to be able to organize all the clips into nicely-labeled scene/shot folders. Also, when

employing a Dual-System sound, (which is exactly where sound is recorded on a separate

recording device in the video), there is certainly the additional requirement to log (and

associate) the sound files together with the Video files. On bigger spending budget films,

there's usually a really detailed list that tells the editor what clip belongs to which

SCENE/SHOT/TAKE. But, on reduced budget films you typically have to rely on matching the

slate facts with the audio slate facts. By way of example, in the beginning of your audio clip,

you ought to hear: "Scene 23A, Take 2?. So, then you would label that audio clip and put it in

the connected clip Folder (inside your editor). Beneath excellent circumstances, throughout

production, you'd have an individual to log which video clip file is connected with which audio

file. So, in this case I was heavily reliant on slate marker on the video and on the audio.

o my HORROR, I had more than 1000 audio clips and Video clips with NO SLATE!!

To my HORROR, I had more than 1000 audio clips and Video clips with NO SLATE!! OK,

there in fact was a few, but at least 85% had no way to identify the video clips Or a solution

to associate them with all the corresponding audio clips.

OK, so right here is where my adventure starts. So, immediately after operating through the

house screaming in aggravation, (kidding), I started the extended method of attempting to

match the script to the clip to log the scene...

So, more than the following few weeks, I started asking individuals and looking for a better

(quicker) solution to match audio clips towards the video clips and to synchronize them. I

finally ran into a video that talked about this insanity, and they advised this new application,

called Plural Eyes and it really is companion product, Dual Eyes.

Plural Eyes performs as a plugin inside your Editing technique. (Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro,

Vegas, Avid, and so on)
