Apple Final Cut Express HD Instrukcja Użytkownika Pobierz pdf (Strona 3)

Final Cut Pro captures media from a video

tape, it places it in a folder called “Capture

Scratch” in a location determined by the

system settings we discuss in the next

section. Yes, Final Cut’s media management

is a little complicated at rst. Hang in there,

it will make sense at some point along the

way.

Set system settings

Setting scratch disk(s) is done in order to

tell Final Cut where to store certain les.

For instance, when you capture video, you

can set it to store that video in a certain

location. To view scratch disk settings,

choose Final Cut Express > System Settings.

Final Cut, by default, stores captured media in a folder called ‘Capture Scratch’ in a folder called ‘Final Cut

Express Documents’ in your user Documents folder, which you can change in System Settings. Since you’re

working in a shared laboratory environment, you should change the System Settings to point to your project

folder on your external hard drive (or your own folder on the desktop if you’re not using your own external hard

drive as described above). You will see Final Cut creates folders with names like “Capture Scratch” and “Render

Files” in the location you specify. Render les are important so Final Cut can display your video in real-time.

Eliminating scratch disk materials (i.e., captured les in the Capture Scratch folder and Render Files folder) in a

project will cause Final Cut to not to be able to nd them, resulting in loss of data (in a worst case) or simply

requireing you to re-render your time line, which can take alot of time if you have lots of eﬀects and transitions.

Never remove scratch disk materials until you are nished with your project and have exported your edit

master (nished video), and even then, you might want to back

it up rst.

If you set your System Settings to an external hard drive without

specifying a folder, then it will exist at the top level of that le

volume rather than in a ‘Final Cut Express Documents’ folder.

Set user preferences

Final Cut lets you adjust many of the things it does and how it

does them. Go to Final Cut Express > User Settings. One

preference you may want to change right away is the time

between “autosaves” as well as the level of undos (note that the

higher you make this number, the slower your computer may

respond. 15-20 is generally reasonable).

Starting a new project

When you launch Final Cut, a new project will be created. Before you do anything else, save it (File > Save

Project As) in the folder you have chosen as your project folder. Or, if another user's project opens (Final Cut

remembers the last thing you were working on), choose File > Close Project, then choose File > New Project and

then save it in your folder. Since you’re working in a shared laboratory setting, remember to place your project

folder on your external hard drive. Anything saved to your user folder on the internal hard drive of the lab

computers is here today, but may be gone tomorrow.

Easy Setup

Make sure you’re working with the right audio/video settings. Go to Final Cut Express > Easy Setup and choose

‘DV NTSC’ if you’re working with the non-wide screen DV cameras, or ‘DV NTSC Anamorphic’ if you’re

working with widescreen DV cameras.

Before starting work always make sure that the

Scratch Disk Settings are set to point to your

external hard drive. If the scratch disk settings are

pointing to the internal hard drive (or someone else’s

external or someone else’s project folder) and you capture

video, all of the video might be lost when you leave.

Get into the habit of checking these settings every

time you start up Final Cut Express, otherwise, you may

lose critical data. You have been warned! This is the number

one cause of problems that students encounter when using

Final Cut in the Studio Foundation Visual Language labs.
