Preparing the Project


To get started in Lesson 8, you will launch Final Cut Express by clicking the program icon in the Dock and then opening the project for this lesson.

1.

Within Final Cut Express choose File > Open or press Cmd-O, and choose the Lesson 8 Project file from the Lessons folder on your hard drive.

2.

Close any other projects that may be open from a previous session by Ctrl-clicking their name tabs in the Browser and choosing Close Tab from the shortcut menu.

3.

In the Timeline, play the Jimbo Finished sequence. This is the first sequence you will create in this lesson. It is not a finished sequence but the first stage of one.

4.

In the Browser, display the contents of the Sequences bin. To create a new sequence in the Sequences bin, Ctrl-click the Sequences bin and choose New Sequence. Name the new sequence Jimbo Tracks.

5.

Double-click to open the new Jimbo Tracks sequence in the Timeline.

6.

Ctrl-click the Jimbo Finished tab in the Timeline to close that sequence.

7.

Click the disclosure triangle to display the contents of the Surfing Clips bin.

The clips in this bin have been organized into two separate bins.

Putting bins in other bins is a way to further organize your material in a project.
