FCP X Lesson 12 Flashcards
After completing Lesson 12 in Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X (2nd Edition), “Sharing Your Project,” you should be able to complete the following tasks. Two items from this lesson are included in the pool of Level One exam questions; three items from this lesson are included in the pool of Associate Level exam questions. Questions are drawn randomly from the following objectives: • Adjust audio peaks • Conform video levels for broadcast • Share a master file • Export an audio file
How would you correct an audio clip that displays red peak indicators for only a few frames?
Option-click the volume-control line in the Timeline to create keyframes that allow you to adjust that specific section of the clip.
How do you set the Timeline appearance to display video clips as large thumbnails without any audio waveforms?
Below the Timeline, click the Clip Appearance button and select the fifth clip icon to show only the video display. If necessary, adjust the clip height to see all the clips in the Timeline.
How can you display the video scopes to determine whether an image falls within the broadcast-safe range?
Choose Window > Viewer Display > Show Video Scopes, or press Command-7. The Viewer splits into two areas, with a smaller Viewer on the right and the video scopes on the left.
How do you view the luma levels in the waveform display to check for broadcast-safe video levels?
From the Settings pop-up menu in the video scopes, choose Display > Waveform. Then, from the Settings pop-up menu, choose Channels > Luma.
How do you open the Color Board to prepare your project for output?
In the toolbar, click the Enhancement Menu button and choose Show Color Board, or press Command-6. In the Color Board, click the Exposure tab.
What does the Share icon in the Project Library indicate?
The Share icon next to the project name indicates that the project has been shared. This icon also appears next to the project name in the Timeline.
How do you track the progress of an export?
After you click Share, Publish, or Save, click the Background Tasks button in the Dashboard to display the export progress.
How can you post a project on YouTube?
In the Project Library, select the project you want to share, and from the Share pop-up menu, choose the YouTube Destination.
How do you control who can view a movie you post on Facebook?
In the Facebook Settings section of the Share window, the “Viewable by” pop-up menu offers four options to set who can view your movie on Facebook.
How can you export a still image from a project?
After adding the Save Current Frame destination to the Share pop-up menu, move the playhead to the frame you want to export, and from the Share pop-up menu, choose Save Current Frame.
How can you create a backup that includes only the content
that was used in the project?
In the Project Library, Control-click the project and choose Duplicate Project from the shortcut menu. Select “Duplicate Project + Used Clips Only” to copy the project and only the media used in the project. When this option is selected, a new Event is created and you must enter a new name for the backup. After the duplication is finished, select the copied Event and choose File > Organize Event Files to copy all media into the Event folder.
How can you email a copy of a movie?
Select the project and choose the Email Destination for Sharing. In the Share window, choose a movie size and compression from the menus, then compose a message and send it.
Why would you want to create a disk image of your project?
A disk image (.img) file is a useful way to archive Events and projects within a container that simulates a volume from a hard disk. With good media management practice in Final Cut Pro X, the disk image should contain everything necessary for editing those projects.
