TRANSCRIPT:
In this session, you'll learn how to move an iMovie project to Final Cut Pro. This will be very
advantageous in this current lockdown situation, where Apple is offering 90 days free trial of
Final Cut. This will give you the opportunity to give a good try of Final Cut. You can use your already established iMovie projects. What we'll be doing is moving to the "File" menu.
You can see that "Send iMovie to Final Cut Pro" is one of the commands. What we've got here is,
a sample movie that we've created with the iMovie sessions to date. With this, we can see that there's a title, in fact, there are two titles - we've got some music. We've also detached some audio is to play over several clips. We've got an input coming here showing Sydney.
Using the "world maps in the background" feature that iMovie has here - so we're using one of these here. We have a clip that's been imported into iMovie - it's a transparent clip so you're only seeing the words and the objects - the rest of the clip is transparent as you can see in the background here. So that's all transparent, but you can see the clip here. Finally, we have some transitions that take us out at the end. It's most of the things that you will be doing in iMovie. We'll see how these all transfer to Final Cut. Our object is to go to the
"File" menu - we'll select "send to iMovie into Final Cut" and then immediately - depending on the speed of your computer, of course, it will come straight into Final Cut. There we can see the iMovie
library - this is the project itself and now you can see it's opened up in the timeline. We have the globe that we produced an iMovie. We have the text, we have the overlay object with the transparent background. Here is the music track and here is the transition at the end. Now should be what to change that transition we could simply come to our transitions over here in Final Cut and where it is a blur at the moment, we can change it to something else. so here we now change. There's a different type of transition. The text itself, we can take that we can come up to the text in here. We can change that to the "best winner". As you can see everything has been transferred in
its entirety and it's all modifiable. We could move this down to this position here if we wanted to
