Group 151 – VIS.MED.FILM – P1 2008 Dissolves and Fades Another set of very simple effects, they are quite self‐explanatory, and are used to make transitions in both sound and image smoother. In Final Cut Pro a default dissolve is build into the program, and can be easily added by right clicking an edit point in the Timeline, with the selection tool, and then clicking "Add transition 'Cross Dissolve'". Speed Some clips have their playback speed altered. This can mostly be seen at the introductions to each part of the semester, e.g. Produktudvikling (Product Development). The speed has been altered, because it takes too long to see the entire headline being written, and this ruins the flow and pace of the film. This is also the reason why the speed has been increased for some other clips in the film. The speed is changed by right‐clicking on a clip in the timeline, and pressing "Speed". A look at the Timeline The following will give a look into how it is being edited. As it can be seen in Figure 18 four video and four audio tracks are used. It was necessary to use three video tracks for the semester introductions on the blackboard. The introduction for the first semester can be seen in this figure, the bottom track holding the entire clip, the 2nd track holding the cropped out text, fading onto the blackboard and the 3rd track holding the animation of the stick figure. The 4th track is only used for a slug, covering some text in one clip. The small grey icons with the text "Cross" inside of them are cross dissolves, making the transitions smoother. The four audio tracks could easily be reduced to two, but since the sound is in stereo, two tracks are automatically created, one for each speaker. The first two audio tracks hold the sound from some of the clips, and the two last audio tracks hold the background music for the entire video. The background music is locked, shown by the crossed lines, meaning it will not move with the rest of the clips. Figure 18: The Timeline in Final Cut Pro. Page 51 of 80
