Features
Include:
Full
Keyframe Effects Control
- If
you enjoy complete creative control, Final Cut Express HD
delivers with fully adjustable keyframe control over all
effects, transitions and motion parameters. You can, for
example, easily set keyframe markers to begin and end a
transitional effect from colour to black and white or Sepia.
And once you take advantage of keyframing to modify a special
effect, you can now save that modification as a “Favourite”
for use in other movie projects.
Dynamic
RT for Real-Time Effects Previewing
- Final
Cut Express comes with over 200 transitions, filters and
effects. These include dissolves, wipes, page peels, blurs,
borders, mattes and keying effects, to name just a few.

and HDV Editing
- With
Final Cut Express HD, you can edit both DV and HDV projects.
Capture your video over FireWire and start editing in real
time, complete with multiple-layer video, text or graphic
compositing. Like to check your handiwork? Preview it full
screen whenever you’d like using your primary or secondary
display.When you’re done with your project, you can
create your own DVD with iDVD, export your movie for the
Web, or send it back to your camera or dock for fast connection
to your HDTV home theatre system. With support for DV and
both 1080i and 720p HDV formats, Final Cut Express HD gives
you advanced video editing features at an affordable price.
Composite
with In-Canvas Motion Key Frames
- Compositing
— the technique of layering multiple video tracks to
create visual effects — lets you add a truly distinctive
quality to your video projects. Though easy to use, Final
Cut Express HD provides powerful tools, letting you composite
an unlimited number of video, graphics and title layers
in the Canvas window.
Integrate
Multi-Layered Photoshop Files
- Final
Cut Express HD fully supports Photoshop files and layers
within your video projects. When you import your Photoshop
files, Final Cut Express displays them as a multitrack video
sequence, placing each Photoshop layer on its own fully
editable video track.
Perform
Advanced Colour Correction
- Nowadays,
almost everyone incorporates video shot at different locations,
with multiple camcorders, and under distinct lighting conditions.
The trick is making the video from one source look entirely
consistent with video your cutting into the timeline from
another source. That’s when you’ll really come
to appreciate the advanced Colour Correction tool that comes
with Final Cut Express HD.

to Final Cut Express HD doesn’t mean you have to reinvent
the wheel. Thanks to its seamless integration with iMovie,
Final Cut Express HD lets you simply open your iMovie projects
via the File menu. Then off you go. With seamless iMovie
