In this chapter, it is time to put these advanced trimming techniques together and utilize them in a real world project scenario. In this movie, author Nick Harauz provides a scene from a movie where you can use the Precision Editor and trimming techniques to cut the scene together in Apple Final Cut Pro X.
- In this movie we'll continue…to cut a dialog scene in the timeline,…exploring alternative methods…and solutions to trim our projects.…So, I'm on my three point two key word collection,…and I've double clicked my three point two project…to open it.…Now, just so you guys know…this project has a couple more edits complete.…There's some split edits…if you take a look on shots four and five.…And what we're going to do is move to shots five and six,…and just sort of see how that is cut together first.…So, I went ahead and moved my play head.…So, I'm going to hit the semi-colon now to move back,…and then shift question just to hear…what's taking place between these two shots?…- Can I get the recipe?…(laughing)…- [Instructor] So, the timings pretty good on this shot,…but we do have a problem that we want to adjust here…with the audio.…
I'm going to hit command equals to zoom in.…And you might see here, that this one segment,…that the audio kind of bursts above zero DB.…And what we might want to do…is just add a few key frames to this section…
