Editing Video
-One NTSC DV Frame is made up of 480 horizontal lines of 720 pixles each 720x480. (PAL is 720x576).
Aspect Ratiostandard television sets are 4x3, meaning taller than wider, high definition are 16x9 (page 20)
In HD it is 1080 lines of video information another has 720.
HD image with 16:9 aspect ratio has dimensions of 1920 x 1080 (1920 pixles across one line and 1018 lines of video information).
If the footage was not shot in a format different than HDV or DV, you may have to dub it to digital format before bringing it to final cut pro express (scan page 23).
Working with quicktimeplays dozens of files (audio, video, graphics). Quicktime files are .mov
Exporting a single frame from a video and using it in a graphics program is also possible.
medium shot: zoomed a few feet from es
establishing shot: wide area
medium close up shot: framed around chest, face is framed tightly
two shot: equal importance to two subjects (scan 30)
Final cut express has a non-linear editing program, so you could change your mind about the placement over and over about the placement/ length of a shot w/out it affecting your original media.
