Chapter 8 Adding Video Filters and Transitions

Key Concepts

Filter:  A lter can change the look of a clip or be used to eliminate or mask out portions

of a clip. Filters allow you to create subtle or dramatic changes to a clip and, in the case

of color correction, make ne adjustments to give your movie a polished look.

Transition:

 A transition is a special eect used to give the change between two clips a

certain appearance. Final Cut Pro provides a variety of transitions that you can apply

to give your sequence visual appeal and continuity.

Handles:

 To create a transition, which requires Final Cut Pro to render or mix the frames

from two clips together, an outgoing clip must have extra unused frames at the end,

and the incoming clip must have extra unused frames at the beginning. Final Cut Pro

can then use these extra frames to create the eect that the transition requires.

Next, you’ll explore methods of outputting your movie for users to view.
