Editing sound and titles with Final Cut

Post date: Oct 26, 2015 2:45:54 PM

1. Find Final Cut in your Application folder and launch it.

2. When you go to film something and you come back with a bunch of footage, it's called an event.

Create a new event with File > New > Event. Be sure to always name the event and click the checkbox to Create New Project. Naming conventions are not needed here. Name it something that reflects what you filmed. For this project, call it Disappear.

3. You now should have an untitled project in your media panel. Never have an untitled project! Title it.

4. Play with the buttons at the bottom of the media panel to see how things change. Do this often to all buttons you see to learn the program better.

5. Import your Disappear shot with File > Import > Media or drag it straight from your desktop.

7. Drag your shot to the timeline.

Add titles and sound to your shot.

Export with Share > Apple Devices or send it straight to YouTube.
