Flexible Editing
Insert, overwrite, replace or fit to fill clips into your
sequence by dragging them directly into the Canvas or Timeline. Use precision tools and
techniques like slip, slide, ripple, roll, split and extend. The flexible interface lets
you move seamlessly between editing, compositing and effects functions.
Compositing Layers
Achieve impressive results, easily
creating rich visual images and animations, by layering video clips, photos, or graphics
files such as multi-layered Adobe Photoshop files. You can, for example, use
multiple video layers to produce side-by-side video, picture-in-picture effects, or
multi-layered collages.
Realtime Effects & Transitions
With Final Cut Express HD, you can
enhance your video projects using any of the hundreds of available transitions, filters
and effects. In most cases, you wont even have to wait to see what theyll look
like. Thanks to Dynamic RT, Final Cut Express HD lets you preview effects and transitions
in real time without rendering. That alone will save you loads of precious time.
Audio and Voiceover
Final Cut Express HD lets you mix up to 99 audio tracks
using pans, levels and the three-band equalizer. Further enhance your audio with
transitions and filters such as cross fades, reverb, EQ, echo, noise gate and more. For
documentary-style projects, use the VoiceOver tool to record narration into an audio track
while your video plays. |
