Video Editing - Week 05

This week in Video Editing the aim was to use FX in Final Cut Pro. After the tutor showed his example, and we downloaded the effects, we went out to film some footage to use. We decided (like a few others had) to centre the footage on a lift so we could use the sparks effect on something thatd make sense. I feel like it works well.

The cut out line at the top of the sparks effect is quite noticeable, but with a little work it could be modified to look more realistic, with the sparks coming from the gap between the 2 sets of doors. I can see how what Ive learnt here could be applied to other effects that I could do on final cut pro, but as to how realistic they could be, thats debateable, and as we will be using Nuke eventually It is unlikely that final cut pro will be the main software used to create effects. But for now, it is acceptable, and does the job.
