#28 Wk20 - Editing Lab 1

Episode 28 begins with comments from episode 27 regarding the idea of context

I offer my Ballpark view philosophy and consider some ideas for adding variety to the podcast thru
  • Interviews
  • Editorials

Audio Mixer

We get a quick introduction to the audio mixer in FCP including how to
organize the tracks in the mixer environment without changing the order of the audio tracks in the timeline
recording on the fly mixing changes using keyframes
adding Audio Mixer buttons to the timeline
axporting audio to Pro Tools and Soundtrack Pro

Firewire Firewire Firewire

I note a couple pitfalls to avoid when dealing with external drives
No USB capture in FCP
Reformat your drive when you get it out of the box
  • Use the Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities
  • It's simple and fast

Finally, I mention visiting the Bison and Alpaca ranches of New England for some B-roll
