Editing

As I am worried about my editing skills I have been doing some research to try and understand final cut express, and hopefully be able to use it correctly. I was searching through the internetand I came across some useful websites displaying some information about the programme itself, and some videos explaining how to use it.

Wikipedia have described Final Cut Express as "a non-linear video editing application created by Apple Inc. It is the consumer version of Final Cut Pro and is designed for advanced editing of digital video as well as high-definition video, which is used by many amateur and professional videographers. Final Cut Express is considered a "step" above iMovie in terms of capabilities, but a "step" underneath Final Cut Pro and its suite of applications." By reading this I know that final cut express is used by a large amount of people, ranging from students to professional film companies; as one of my aspirations in life it to have a career within media and films it is very important that I understand the importance of these programmes.

Wikipedia Page for Final Cut Express

As I was searching through youtube, I searched under the title of "how to use final cut express for beginners" through this search I found an incredible useful video where a young boy goes through step by step on how to use Final Cut Express, the maker made the video extremely well, he highlights the key elements and blacks out the rest of the page allowing no ambiguety from the audience, and also ranges from how to open the programme to editing films itself. After watching this I feel more comfortable about using final cut express in the future, I look forward to using it again.
