This document provides instructions for using Final Cut Pro video editing software. It explains how to open the software and access your projects. It describes how to import video clips and organize them on the timeline. The timeline allows arranging clips in sequence to compress them into a finished movie. Adding text overlays and ensuring clips do not overlap is also covered. The final steps are to render the project and compress it before uploading the finished video.

2. • Once you have clicked
the icon a small box will
appear and once it does
you will have to wait.
• Once the box has come
up you'll have to click on
the top left hand side
‘open’ if you have a
project or ‘new’ if you
do not.

3. • To upload the work
onto the software
click on the log and
transfer icon in
order to duplicate
the clips from the
video onto the
software.
• Once you have
done that a box
looking similar to
this one will apear
and once it does
select all the clips.

4. • Here is the main
screen you will get
once you open final
cut pro. As you can
see there is the
timeline and two
screens which one
operates the movie
and the other lets the
editor see the clips.
• Her you can see there
is a sequence box.
This is clips put
together until to
compress and make it
a movie.

5. • Once you
get your
clips sorted
out and
organised
just simply
drag it along
on to the
timeline.

6. • As you drag
the clips on to
the timeline
make sure you
don’t overlap
the clips of the
video will turn
red meaning it
will need to be
rendered or it
wont play.

7. • As you can see
I have created
text which is
put between
the clips. This
is a simple step
all you have to
do is click
wherever you
want the text
to be and then
right click and
click text.

8. • As you drag
the clips on to
the timeline
make sure you
don’t overlap
the clips of the
video will turn
red meaning it
will need to be
rendered.

9. • Here is the
last step and
that is to
upload the
work. But
before that in
FCP we need
to compress
to movie so
that it won’t
take time to
upload etc.
