Introduction To Final cut pro X

I was completely unaware to how difficult it would be for the actor to match the song in time, and how when filming the actor may not be singing perfectly in time.

First we had to import all the clips into the software and wait until they were all in 100%, so we were able to edit and chose the correct clip to put into the story line.

We could do this by dragging the clip and placing it, or we could use the button that I have screen shotted which would place it into the correct place.

I found that gaps that could be put in place very interesting and very useful when trying to time the songs and actor, for example for some reason, perhaps due to not using the same audio, we didn't have as long of an instrumental as the audio we which we dragged in had a longer instrumental, so therefore we inserted a gap to delay through the generator, this caused a delay to match up both the singing and the audio.

We made sure they were in time accurately by using the bars in the screen shot, and we had a zooming tool to ensure they were completely accurate. To do this we would press space bar exactly when the audio began , and press L to leave a blue border to remind us where. 

I liked the use of the keyboard and how that plays a role in the cutting and editing. I also enjoyed learning about adding each clip and the simplicity of dragging the clips down. For example they also had a blade tool which would ensure to delete the first and last bits of the clip, for example of the teacher shouting action and cut. 

Another tool is the use of disabling and enabling either the audio on the music version of Glee, this would make it easier to only focus on the sound that comes from clip to understand exactly when they sing, otherwise we could disable the lips to leave a blue mark exactly when the certain lyrics we were looking out for begun.

Overall i am eager to develop my skills further, and enjoyed my first experience.
