I recently went back and re-editing the very first Final Cut piece I ever did. It was funny to go back and see how far I’ve come. It wasn’t a bad first attempt, but the edits weren’t very precise, I used way too many transitions, and it was a little too long. I did my copied the entire sequence over and removed all the image. I did several passes refining the audio, tweaking timing, levels and transitions. After that I added images, this time WITHOUT fade-to-black transitions between every frame (yikes).
