Using the Project Library

Greetings,

We recently reviewed the Project Library in FCPX.  Understanding this aspect of FCPX is essential in an editing environment where multiple editors work at the same editing stations.  The performance booster reviewing this lesson asks about what information I recommend including in every project. 

For our scenario, please include the following information in every PROJECT NAME:

1. Air-Date (00-00-00)
2. Project Description (CE, Top Story, Prim. Anch, Student Poll)
3. Anchor Name(s) (Spelling matters)

Article Structure Foldable

Greetings,

A recent lesson dealt with the traditional "inverted pyramid" journalistic writing style.  We did a foldable in class as a way to graphically organize the critical information from this lesson.

Here is an example foldable I did for the class.

We also referenced http://youtu.be/F0XCHmVIQvs regarding basic foldable instructuctions.

Keyword Lesson for FCPX

Below you'll find a screencast of our in-class lesson covering keywords and media management using FCPX.

There are also LOTS of resources online which go into greater depth on this topic.

Using the Announcement Request Form

In order to keep the daily announcement portion of our show current and relevant, we need the help of all staff on campus.  The video tutorial below is designed to help dispel any myths about the announcement request form being difficult to use.
