Editing Of Film - Final Cut Pro Pictures

I decided to doccument the editing of my thriller film by taking screen captures as I was going along.

At the beginning of the project before I began my 'Inpoint' and 'Outpoint's with my shot list on the top left hand side to start.
Deleting certain scenes I do not wish to keep
Comparing which scene is the better one to use in my film.

Realising that I did not want my clip as long as that, cutting it out to move the other scenes back up. The green section is the music which I do not need as we are making our own. I deleted this by pressing the 'backspace' bar.

In the process of working out how to crop a clip.
Adding in the inpoints and outpoints of the scene which I wanted to be in my film. Press 'I' on the keyboard for input and 'O' on the key board for output. They are the two blue lines on the right hand screen.
Topright hand side is the avaliable tools in which we can use for the editing process.

Double clicking on the top left hand side on the icon of an individual clip to get the clip up on the right hand side to see the edit in which I created play. This helps to see what you want to change.



Process of cropping the clip to get the whiteboard out of the shot without making the edit obvious to the audience.

Once this frame comes up, I put my curser on the corner of the inside square to crop out the bit I didnt want. I then had to put my curser on the corner of the outside square to get rid of the black background which means lining up the shot to fit the screen.

Adding in a shot to the middle of the sections.
I decided I wanted to change the rotation of the gun and I went onto 'Image-wireframe' and on the top right hand square I hovered my curser until a circle with an arrow on the end came up and I then pull the picture around.

Using the 'Razor tool' to easily cut out sections of the shot which I do not want.
