UNlocking fcp7!
With Van Cooper
E
ven with the release of Apple’s new Final Cut X,
many filmmakers/editors are still working with
Final Cut 7. Smaller, independent producers, also
do not have access to high end finishing software such
as DaVinci (Video) or Pro Tools (Audio). Van Cooper
will concentrate on the finishing tools of Final Cut
Pro 7. He will unlock the Video and Audio Filters that
are needed to fine tune a project for release. Specific
items covered will be grading/colour correction using
Final Cuts video filters menu. As well he will cover the
Audio filters menu and show how to clean up sound
files including exporting sound file to Soundtrack
Pro (included in the final cut suite) and cleaning up
unwanted audio. Van will also touch on some of the
“special effects” that can be created through FCP. (i.e.
green screen, distortion, animations)
Participants will be encouraged to bring in their own
laptops for the presentation as well as bring specific
questions they may have.
