There are so many editing method that we learn this week. I think it's because next week, which is week 6, is the due date of our final final video. So this week we learn some basic stuff we need for final video editing which is filter effect, title and audio editing.

for filter effect, final cut pro already provide some effect that we can simply put in the clip we want. effect can be found in effect tab and we can configure the effect as we like. The effect tab can be shown as screen shoot below :

personally, i like glowing effect yet i decide to use fish eye and earthquake effect for my weekly editing assignment since i think these effect are the most suitable for my source video.

The second stuff we learn this week is how to put some tittle in the video. final cut pro already provide some animation template for text like typewriter , crawl , scroll etc. yet we can make animation for the tittle by our self by using the motion tab and key framing.
For my final video, i use many text since i make a short movie. text / title make my movie more understandable. I choose to use typewriter text for the beginning of my video, and the rest i prefer to make my own text movement by key framing since i want the movement of the text follow the animation that already in the video.

The last stuff we learn this week is audio editing. we can configure the 'opacity' (db) of the audio using pen tool.
