I’m going to learn how to edit my videos. Up until this point, I have gotten away with simply uploading the videos straight from my camera. Being able to edit with Final Cut Pro X will open up possibilities that I’ve never dreamed of for my channel.
I’ve written an article on my wiki that has more details: http://learn.realphysics.info/wiki/Editing_with_Final_Cut_Pro_X.
You basic process is to create a library. The library will hold all the clips and such that you are going to use, so you’ll use the same library again and again for multiple videos.
Next, create a project for each video.
Then, watch your clips. Press “i” when you want to start capturing something, “o” to stop capturing. Press “e” to add it to the end of your video. Note that you can always adjust what you captured in the timeline below in “a” arrow mode, so if you’re not exact, or if you want to adjust it later, that’s ok.
With that, you’re set to start you hand at editing.
Here’s a video that covers everything in greater detail.
