Initial Setup
Once Final Cut Pro has been successfully installed you need to be able to access
Final Cut Pro and the other applications which are installed on your system.
Final Cut Pro and all of the other applications you have installed can be
accessed by going to the application folder which is located on the hard drive
where the operating system of your computer is
installed.
The easiest way to get to the Applications folder is to
choose the menu at the top of the desktop screen
titled Go.
■
1
Select the Go menu and scroll down to Applications.
■
2
Locate the Final Cut Pro application
icon in the Applications folder.
■
3
Drag the Final Cut Pro icon onto
the dock.
■
4
Do the same with the other applications you have installed, such as
Livetype, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor and Color.
■
5
Click once on the Final Cut Pro icon to launch the program. You are
now ready to begin work within Final Cut Pro.
Easy Setup
Apple have made it very easy to set up Final Cut Pro, however, it is up to you to
make sure you get these settings right. If you set the audio sample rate incorrectly
the result will be sync drift; if you set the video to widescreen anamorphic when
it was shot in standard 4:3 your images will not fit the frame correctly.
