With Steve for a couple of lessons we made an opening shot out of moving pictures and Final Cut. There was a selection on moving clips of skyscrapers, the sky, clouds moving, the statue of Liberty, and many others, In Final Cut we dragged the clips down onto the time bar and in the order we wanted them we then went on to add transitions to the clip, transitions are the bits in the middle when a clip is moving onto the next, you can make it dissolve into the next clip you can do many different styles of transitions. When we started adding the transitions mine went completely wrong, the clips were moving to fast and was very un-organised, I gave up on putting transitions in and just made my clips fade in and out of each other, and then i decided to give it another try and deleted everything I had done so far and started again. When I started again I was very careful to cut the clips at both sides so the transitions would work. And they did work, and above is how it turned out after I figured out how to use the transitions.
