Many video camera companies are beginning to manufacture tapeless camcorders, which record footage as files on hard disks, solid state drives, or optical disks. It's easy to transfer file-based footage to your Mac using Final Cut Express. Just connect your camcorder to the USB port.
Final Cut Express has dozens of provided video and audio transitions, which you can use to smooth abrubt cuts between edit points in your sequence and make your movie more polished and interesting. Transitions are located under the effects tab.
When your edit is complete, or locked, the next step is to fine tune your audio. Adjust the audio levels of your clips to produce a balanced sound mix. In Final Cut Express, you can control audio levels in the timeline and the viewer. You can even add keyframes to make level changes over time.
Audio filters help you create a credible soundtrack. They can remove distracting noises, like the hum of an air conditioner, and add atmosphere, like an echo. Filters are accessed in the effects tab of the browser and organized into two categories: those provided by Apple and filters that come bundled with Final Cut Express. Drag a filter into the timeline and doubleclick it to edit it in the viewer.
Video filters let you adjust and enhance your clips for greater visual effects. Access Final Cut Express' filters in the effects browser. Simply position the timeline playhead over the clip, apply a filter, and the resulting changes are displayed in the canvas. Filters can be animated using keyframes, which work the same way with filters that they do with motion.
Animate clips by simply changing an attribute of the clip over time. You can easily animate your clips using the viewer, which allows you to change parameters and motion and updates the clip in the canvas. Animating with Final Cut Express is non-destructive, so you can always undo your work if it is not exactly the animation you want.
