Visual Story

You will now add images to your sound story. Remember that you must Share > Export to Disk your sound story to make it an audio file.

1. Find Final Cut Pro in your Applications folder, drag it to your Dock, and start up Final Cut Pro.

2. To get started, you must first create an Event. An event is a collection of video, image, and sound assets that are all part of one project.

File > New > Event

The New Event window will open, Name your event Sound Story and make sure it is 720p HD sized. 1280x720 size. If you don't see the size, press the button at the bottom of the screen that says Custom Settings.

Check the box to Create New Project.

4. Name your project. It will say Untitled Project. You never want untitled projects. If you didn't check the box, use Create > New > Project.

5. File > Import > Media and go find your sound story audio and images. Import them into Final Cut Pro. You can also drag things into the project window or right into the timeline.

6. Drag your sound story to the timeline. Remember that you must Share > Export to Disk your sound story to make it an audio file.

7. Find 1280x720 or larger images that illustrate what is going on in your sound story.

Finding Images with Google. Drag your images to the timeline and adjust their length to fit the sounds.

8. When you are done and have your story edited, click the Title button and find a title you like.

Add a title at the beginning of your story. Add credits at the end. Just your name or Created by... is fine.
