Nonlinear Editing• Linear
– Edit sequentially– http://www.scottsimmons.tv/blog/2007/10/01/e
diting-video-in-the-past/• Nonlinear, nondestructive
– Edit shots in different orders, while underlying media is untouched (changes never affect the media)
– Deciding what elements to retain, delete, or combine in a logical manner

Video Editing Basics• Never use the same shot twice• Cut on breath• Watch out for frames of black• Audio must coincide with video• Stick to cuts• Shots should be related (sequences, cutaways)
– WS of room– MS of person’s body– CU of face– CU of paper
• Shots about :04-:05 with the exception of action– Let action complete

Trouble-shooting - “I don’t see my video!”
The most common problem is when you see “No Communication” when trying to capture your vidFirst, you should “Log and Transfer,” not “Log
and Capture,” log and capture is for tapes
Second, try restarting your computer and shutting off your camera > turn on the computer and then turn on the camera > open FCP
Third, try a different computer
![Page 24: Video Editing and Encoding](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102716/5557b573d8b42a4a5d8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“I see red lines through my clips.”• Reconnect Media• This means that
FCP cannot find your video and you may have not saved appropriately & vid may be lost unless edited on your computer
• Try finding it by right-clicking clip and looking for it
![Page 25: Video Editing and Encoding](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102716/5557b573d8b42a4a5d8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“I can only see part of my video and the rest is black.”Some clips may need
renderingYou need proper RAM to
see video in real timeUsually done with
effects such as transition or change clip values

Highlight clips with red line

“My video is still not playing.”File > New Sequence (your timeline)
Double-click new sequence in binGo to your other non-playing sequence tab >
select all > copy
Go to your new sequence > paste Then try it

Stereo Pair vs Mono Audio
Left and right ear locate subtle differences For stereo, need to use two microphones
Two different mics placed at two different locations to mimic ears
2 channels does not mean you recorded in stereo. If you use only one microphone to record, it is not stereo. It is mono.
Mono audio takes less space
