With an updated user interface, the ability to import from multiple camcorders and storage devices, and the unique Smart Proxy editing feature, VideoStudio helps users edit video quickly and smoothly.

Enhanced--Smart Proxy editing:
With Smart Proxy editing, users can edit HD content as easily as they edit SD (standard definition)--even on midrange PCs.

H.264 High Definition (HD) encoding:

Users can expect efficient performance with the MPEG Optimizer and the SmartRender feature, both of which support TOD video.

Choice of Output

VideoStudio Pro X2 lets users create Blu-ray Discs, burn HD video on standard DVDs in AVCHD format, create DVDs with stylish, professional-looking menus, and output video projects to mobile devices or online sharing Web sites--such as YouTube.

Blu-ray Disc output:
Users can author HD video with motion menus and burn the video to Blu-ray Disc (single- or dual-layer). Compliant video is not re-rendered, ensuring shorter encoding times and excellent picture quality. VideoStudio Pro X2 also supports Dolby stereo (two-channel) and 5.1 audio.

AVCHD output:
With AVCHD support, VideoStudio Pro X2 users can author HD video with menus and burn to a standard DVD. AVCHD discs are playable on a PC (with AVCHD playback software), Blu-ray player, Sony PlayStation3 (PS3), or disc-based AVCHD camcorder.

Create WMV-HD and MPEG-2 HD files:
Users can create WMV-HD and MPEG-2 HD files for playback on Media Center PCs or other HD playback devices.

Write back to HDV camcorder:
With VideoStudio, users can record finished video projects back to tape. This is convenient for viewing directly from a camcorder or for long-term archiving.

New--Auto Pan & Zoom in VideoStudio Editor:

Automatic color and tone correction:
VideoStudio Pro X2 automatically corrects the color and tone of videos that have been taken under less than ideal lighting conditions.

For archiving DV tapes, VideoStudio scans the tape and generates a thumbnail list of clips. Users can select and capture the clips they want, and then print out scene digests as a record of the content.

Unique Special Effects

VideoStudio Pro X2 lets users explore their creativity with unique special effects, tools, and easy-to-use templates.

New--Painting Creator:
This unique new tool gives users another way to personalize their video projects.

For example, users can enhance a family vacation video by drawing their route on a map and overlaying it on the video. The Painting Creator lets users choose to create still paintings or animations.

New--NewBlue Film Effects:
Users can now make videos look like they are from the silent-movie era. This dynamic collection of five filters provides 81 presets that recreate the inexact mechanics of hand-cranked cameras, dirty projectors, and decades of sitting in film vaults.

Chroma Key:
Commonly referred to as Bluescreen, the Chroma Key special effect lets users create video magic just like the pros.

For example, users can film a subject against a solid background and later add any background image, which makes the subject appear to be in a particular location.

Adjustable playback speed:
Users can create slow and fast motion effects, without altering the pitch of the audio.

The Most Complete HD Solution

Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 is the most complete HD solution available today. Whether the source is tape, disc, camcorder, or memory card, users can capture and edit video in all the leading HD formats, including HDV, AVCHD, Blu-ray Disc, and TOD.

Fast, Smooth Video Capture and Editing

With an updated user interface, the ability to import from multiple camcorders and storage devices, and the unique Smart Proxy editing feature, VideoStudio helps users edit video quickly and smoothly.

Enhanced! Smart Proxy editing:
With Smart Proxy editing, users can edit HD content as easily as they edit SD (standard definition)--even on midrange PCs. By using lower-resolution files for editing and previewing an HD project, VideoStudio Pro X2 requires fewer system resources, which results in faster, smoother editing of HD video. The final output retains the full resolution of the original HD content.

New! BDMV import:
Users can now import BDMV files directly from Blu-ray camcorders, making it easier to transfer files and get started with video-editing projects.

AVCHD import:
VideoStudio lets users import AVCHD files directly from AVCHD hard drives, memory card camcorders, or any storage medium.

Fast Encoding

Though easy-to-use, VideoStudio Pro X2 is a powerful video-editing application. The unrivaled MPEG Optimizer, the MainConcept H.264 codec, and support for both dual-core and quad-core CPUs mean users spend less time waiting to view their discs and DVDs.

H.264 High Definition (HD) encoding:
VideoStudio Pro X2 uses the new MainConcept H.264 codec, which provides rapid encoding with superior quality. Both 1440 x 1080 and 1920 x 1080 output frame sizes are supported.

TOD format support:
Users can import and edit video from the latest JVC HD-7 camcorders without having to convert formats. VideoStudio fully supports all frame sizes offered by these camcorders, including Full HD 1920 x 1080i. Users can expect efficient performance with the MPEG Optimizer and the SmartRender feature, both of which support TOD video.

Choice of Output

VideoStudio Pro X2 lets users create Blu-ray Discs, burn HD video on standard DVDs in AVCHD format, create DVDs with stylish, professional-looking menus, and output video projects to mobile devices or online sharing Web sites--such as YouTube.

Blu-ray Disc output:
Users can author HD video with motion menus and burn the video to Blu-ray Disc (single- or dual-layer). Compliant video is not re-rendered, ensuring shorter encoding times and excellent picture quality. VideoStudio Pro X2 also supports Dolby stereo (two-channel) and 5.1 audio.

AVCHD output:
With AVCHD support, VideoStudio Pro X2 users can author HD video with menus and burn to a standard DVD. AVCHD discs are playable on a PC (with AVCHD playback software), Blu-ray player, Sony PlayStation3 (PS3), or disc-based AVCHD camcorder.

Create WMV-HD and MPEG-2 HD files:
Users can create WMV-HD and MPEG-2 HD files for playback on Media Center PCs or other HD playback devices.

Write back to HDV camcorder:
With VideoStudio, users can record finished video projects back to tape. This is convenient for viewing directly from a camcorder or for long-term archiving.

Switch between HD and SD output:
Users can choose to output an HD project in standard definition (SD), and vice versa. On the Timeline, users can seamlessly mix HD and SD formats.

• Movie Wizard--for users who are new to video editing
• DV-to-DVD Wizard--for the shortest way from camcorder tape to disc

New! Transitions in overlay tracks:
Superimposed over a video, overlay tracks can be additional video, still images, or color clips. Users can easily apply transitions in overlay tracks to create sophisticated picture-in-picture and montage effects.

New! Auto-video/audio crossfade:
Users can now simply drag video clips so that the clips overlap on the timeline, automatically creating a video transition and audio crossfade for the duration of the overlap.

New! Resizable interface:
VideoStudio now lets users resize any of the panels within the interface according to their preference.

New! Enlarged filter and effects controls:
For VideoStudio Pro X2, dialog boxes and controls have been enlarged, so that users can apply effects and keyframes more quickly, easily, and accurately.

New! Toggle Filter View:
With a single click, users can now preview the effects of filters on their videos. A toggle icon appears next to each filter, so users can instantly turn the effect on or off.

New! Autoplay of transitions and filters:
Users can simply click any transition, filter, or title animation to display a preview of the effect before applying it to a video.

New! Show all tracks:
It has never been easier to get a quick glimpse of all tracks in a video. With a single click, users can switch the Timeline View to show only the portion being worked on or a comprehensive display of all elements in a movie project.

Enhanced! Storyboard View:
With VideoStudio Pro X2, users can simply drag to adjust the size of the Storyboard to suit their preference. The Storyboard View also lets users drag to add clips to a movie. In addition, users can apply filters directly to the clips in the Storyboard.

New! Instant timecode tip:
When users drag clips into the timeline, VideoStudio now provides an instant timecode tip. This tip displays the change in video duration in real time, making it easier for users to trim clips accurately.

New! Auto Pan & Zoom in VideoStudio Editor:
Auto Pan & Zoom is now available in both the Movie Wizard and VideoStudio Editor. When making photo slide shows, it automatically detects the faces of subjects in the photo and homes in on them. This eliminates the tedious manual work of applying Pan & Zoom effects.

New! Single Clip Trim:
The new Single Clip Trim dialog box makes it easy to frame and accurately trim single clips. Users can access the dialog box by double-clicking any clip in the Library.

New! Updated icons:
Many features, such as Smart Proxy and Ripple Editing, are now easier to find, thanks to updated, intuitive icons.

Instant preview:
By double-clicking the preview window, users can access an instant, full-screen preview of their video project.

Audio View:
In the Audio View, users can visually adjust volume levels of the individual video, voice, and music clips that make up a project's soundtrack. For example, by using the wave form in Audio View, users can easily cue a title on a particular beat. In addition, Audio View provides access to the Surround Sound Mixer, Overlay Track, and the Music Track.

Multi-trim Video:
With the Multi-trim feature, users can easily extract multiple segments from video clips. The AccuCut timeline makes it fast and simple to zoom in precisely on the exact frame that needs to be trimmed. In addition, Ad-Zapper automatically detects commercials in videos captured from TV, allowing for easy removal. What's more, the Jog Wheel lets users quickly scroll through a clip, and the Shuttle Slider makes it easy to find an exact frame.

Automatic color and tone correction:
VideoStudio Pro X2 automatically corrects the color and tone of videos that have been taken under less than ideal lighting conditions.

DeBlock filter:
The DeBlock filter reduces blocky digital-compression artifacts often found in highly compressed videos. This filter is particularly useful for videos copied from Video CDs (VCD) or other low-resolution formats.

DeSnow filter:
The DeSnow filter removes visible noise patterns (colored spots or snow) that occur in videos taken under low lighting conditions, taken with high ISO values, or captured from older sources--for example, videos copied from VHS tapes.

New! Two title tracks:
With an additional title track available, users can include a title that runs through the entire video and easily add more titles.

New! Title animations:
VideoStudio includes ten new animation presets to use with titles, including a traditional favorite--Perspective Scroll. Animated titles give viewers additional information about a video, or introduce or differentiate a particular portion of the video.

Enhanced! Color backgrounds for titles:
To add more personal flair to their videos, users can choose from a variety of colored background shapes and styles that make their movie titles stand out.

Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound:
With comprehensive support for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, users can produce videos that take full advantage of today's home theater systems. VideoStudio provides one-click conversion that automatically turns conventional stereo audio into Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. For a more hands-on approach, the Surround Sound Mixer offers complete control over stereo and panning for audio tracks. In addition, users can simply blend camcorder audio and background music to produce a compelling surround-sound effect.

SmartSound Auto Music Maker:
This advanced music engine lets users create an infinite variety of unique royalty-free tunes that perfectly fit the style and duration of their video project.

Audio filters:
VideoStudio includes a collection of audio filters to help users fix common audio problems and enhance the sound of their video projects. Users can choose from Amplify, Hiss Reduction, Long Echo, Normalize, Pitch Shift, Remove Noise, Reverb, Stadium, Vocal Reduction, and Volume Leveling.

Library organization:
The Library makes it easy for users to sort media clips by date, time, or filename. Media clips can include video clips, video filters, audio clips, still images, transition effects, music files, titles, and color clips--everything needed to create a movie.

Easily add colored backgrounds to titles. Click to enlarge.

New! Import/Export library file:
With VideoStudio Pro X2, users can now save their presets and settings before reinstalling or upgrading their application. This feature eases the transition to the latest version.

New! Add Projects library:
With the new option to add a Projects library, VideoStudio makes it easier to reuse and modify files from existing projects. Users can add projects (VSP files) directly into the Timeline as a virtual clip, saving time by eliminating the need to re-encode or re-render previously used project files. These project files can then be organized into their own folder.

New! Specify capture library:
VideoStudio Pro X2 users can eliminate clutter by setting up a dedicated target library for each project, making it easier to organize and find specific files.

New! Integration with Windows Vista Media library:
Users can now load media directly from the Windows Vista Media library. This features makes it easier to access other media files to use in video projects.

New! Adjustable thumbnails:
By dragging a convenient slider, users can now adjust the size of thumbnails in the Library. By enlarging thumbnails, users can zoom in to identify a particular clip. By reducing the size of thumbnails, users can zoom out for an overall view of all available clips.

New! Categorized filter effects:
For VideoStudio Pro X2, the filter effects have been reorganized into categories that make them easier to identify and navigate. The new categories are 2D Mapping, 3D Texture Mapping, Adjust, Camera Lens, Darkroom, Focus, Nature Painting, and Special.

Enhanced! Movie Wizard templates:
The Movie Wizard is the perfect starting place for first-time video editors to quickly produce exciting, Hollywood-style movies. Each template provides a different theme, which comes with preset start and ending video clips, transitions, titles, and background music.

Enhanced! Fit slides to music tempo and duration:
With VideoStudio Pro X2, it's easier than ever for users to adjust the slide duration to match the tempo of background music. Users can also adjust the music duration to match the duration of slides in a project.

Enhanced! Smart Pan & Zoom in Movie Wizard:
The enhanced Smart Pan & Zoom feature automatically detects the faces of subjects in a photo and homes in on them. Users can create dynamic, motion-rich slide shows without the tedious manual work of applying panning and zooming effects.

Create DVDs faster than ever:
The DV-to-DVD Wizard lets users transfer an entire DV tape to DVD (with a menu) in one step. In addition, the "blank" template option lets users back up DV tapes or archive footage for the fastest, most straightforward way to transfer from tape to disc.

DV Quick Scan:
For archiving DV tapes, VideoStudio scans the tape and generates a thumbnail list of clips. Users can select and capture the clips they want, and then print out scene digests as a record of the content.

Unique Special Effects

VideoStudio Pro X2 lets users explore their creativity with unique special effects, tools, and easy-to-use templates.

New! Painting Creator:
This unique new tool gives users another way to personalize their video projects. With the Painting Creator, users can record painting, drawing, or writing strokes as an animation to use as an overlay effect. For example, users can enhance a family vacation video by drawing their route on a map and overlaying it on the video. The Painting Creator lets users choose to create still paintings or animations.

New! NewBlue Film Effects:
Users can now make videos look like they are from the silent-movie era. This dynamic collection of five filters provides 81 presets that recreate the inexact mechanics of hand-cranked cameras, dirty projectors, and decades of sitting in film vaults.

Chroma Key:
Commonly referred to as Bluescreen, the Chroma Key special effect lets users create video magic just like the pros. By making a particular color transparent, the underlying clips, objects, or layers can be superimposed onto any background. For example, users can film a subject against a solid background and later add any background image, which makes the subject appear to be in a particular location.

Adjustable playback speed:
Users can create slow and fast motion effects, without altering the pitch of the audio.

New! HD-style templates:
With VideoStudio Pro X2, a new set of professionally designed templates are included. These HD-style templates are designed to match the quality of any HD video.

New! Creative content:
VideoStudio Pro X2 includes a wealth of content to enhance any production. Users can choose from many overlay objects, frames, Flash animations, and menu templates.

Easy-to-use menu templates:
Users can polish their productions with more than 100 motion menus in a range of styles for any occasion.

Menu transitions:
Users can easily add transitions just like those in Hollywood DVDs. VideoStudio includes a collection of menu-in and menu-out transitions that smoothly flow from one menu into the next title or menu.

Any Output, Anywhere

VideoStudio Pro X2 gives users a multitude of options for sharing their videos with the world.

Direct YouTube upload:
Users can easily upload their videos directly to YouTube--the most popular online video-sharing Web site. VideoStudio offers several settings, such as the WMV, H.264, and FLV formats, to ensure the best possible encoding quality.

Quality movies for mobile devices:
VideoStudio Pro X2 includes MPEG-4, H.264, and WMV templates that let users produce movies for mobile devices, such as Apple iPod, Touch, and iPhone, as well as Sony PSP, Zune, and Nokia mobile phones. In addition, VideoStudio lets users import video from supported cell phones, smartphones, PDAs, and other portable devices.

DivX support:
Users can easily import and export DivX-encoded video with the appropriate codec and convert the video to DVD or other formats.

Output to any disc:
By providing many disc output options, VideoStudio ensures that users can easily share their video productions. Users can burn their videos to CDs and DVDs as well as to AVCHD and Blu-ray formats.

New! Intel quad-core support:
VideoStudio Pro X2 supports Intel quadcore technology, enhanced for both dual-core and quad-core CPUs to provide faster response times and less time waiting for encoding--especially useful when working with HD video.

New! Faster rendering:
While rendering a video production, users can now disable the preview window to maximize rendering resources and render the video more quickly.

New! Faster MPEG-2 encoding:
VideoStudio Pro X2 provides enhanced encoding performance for MPEG-2 files.

MPEG Optimizer:
VideoStudio ensures the fastest encoding at the highest possible quality. The MPEG Optimizer analyzes the bit rates of all clips on the Timeline and suggests MPEG encoding settings that ensure the least re-rendering and re-encoding while maintaining the highest quality for a video project.

New! Size setting in MPEG Optimizer:
The new size setting in the MPEG Optimizer lets users select a target size before encoding MPEGs. This feature is especially helpful to users who share their videos on Web sites that set limits on file size. In addition, when burning MPEGs to DVD, users can easily adjust the size setting to ensure that their files will fit on the DVD.

Combined with compositing, titling, and keyframing, they give you the ability to create visually rich, dynamic video projects.

Mix Different Formats in a Timeline
Whether you have DV, HDV, or AVCHD content, the new Open Format Timeline in Final Cut Express 4 lets you mix and match clips, even if they use different frame sizes and frame rates. Freely edit a combination of HDV, AVCHD, and DV, including NTSC and PAL, all in real time using the same industry-leading editing and trimming tools found in Final Cut Pro.

Many FxPlug effects use your graphics card for accelerated rendering--so the better your graphics card, the faster your FxPlug rendering.

All you do is open the Final Cut XML document and start using the advanced functions of Final Cut Express to enhance your iMovie '08 projects.

Powerful Editing with Final Cut Express
Final Cut Express puts professional-style editing controls in your hands, allowing you to drag clips directly to a track or use the overlay controls in the Canvas. And because editing in Final Cut Express is nondestructive, you can experiment with changes without modifying your source footage. The editing palette contains tools to cut and modify clips in the Timeline: Cut clips into two pieces, change the duration of a clip, change the duration of two clips simultaneously, move In and Out points, reselect a new range of frames within a clip, and resize or extend an edit.

Managing windows is also flexible and easy, so you can tailor the workspace to suit your needs.

Trimming is used to fine-tune a sequence by adding or subtracting frames from the In or Out point of a clip.

Use color correction to create contrast or special effects.

When working with large projects or sequences that contain repetitive effects, filters, and motion, it is often convenient to copy and paste the attributes from one clip to another.

Make Professional Edits
Once you've captured some or all of the clips that will go into your finished movie, it's time to begin editing. You will find a way to edit that is comfortable for you; Final Cut Express is extremely flexible. When you have assembled an edited sequence, you can trim your edits and modify your sequence in several ways as well.

• Using visual controls in the interface
• Directly manipulating your clips using the mouse in the Timeline
• Using keyboard shortcuts

True nondestructive, nonlinear editing
Final Cut Express 4 provides true nonlinear editing capabilities for the DV, HDV, and AVCHD formats. All editing is nondestructive to the original footage on your hard drive. Clips in Final Cut Express are merely pointers to the original source material, so any deletion or duplication of clips in the project, trimming changes, effects, or other alterations you make do not affect the source files themselves.

Editing tools at work
Professional-style editing means frame-accurate control over trimming your clips, more flexibility in making edits in the Timeline, and unlimited editing creativity. The editing tools in the palette include the following:

• Razor blade. Cuts a single clip into two pieces. This can be useful for quickly rearranging pieces of your sequence, deleting a section of a clip, applying an effect to a specific part of a clip, or moving a piece of a clip to the same location on another track.
• Ripple edit. Changes the duration of a clip. It moves the location of either the Out point preceding or the In point following an edit point. The duration of the clip to the left or the right of the edit point is shortened or lengthened to fit the new edit point without changing the location of the edit in the sequence.
• Roll edit. Changes both the selected clip and an adjacent clip. This type of edit adjusts the location of an edit point shared by two clips; the Out point of the first clip and the In point of the second clip are moved or rolled. This changes the location of the edit in the sequence as well as the duration of each clip. Roll edits are useful when you want to match the action of one clip with the action of another and need to find the right intersecting frames.
• Slip edit. Moves the In and Out points of a clip simultaneously while maintaining its duration and position in the edited sequence. Surrounding clips are not affected, just the range of frames in the clip. This is useful for adjusting footage you've edited into your sequence without moving it in the Timeline.
• Slide edit. Moves an entire clip along with the edit points to its left and right. The duration of the clip being moved stays the same, but the clips to the left and right of it change duration.
• Resize edit. Extends or shortens a clip by moving the In or Out point.
• Extend edit. Allows you to move an edit point between two clips quickly. This edit moves an edit point to the position of the playhead in the Timeline.

Refine Your Edits with Trimming
After you have made your initial edits and assembled your footage in the Timeline, you can refine your sequence. Trimming is used to fine-tune a sequence by adding or subtracting frames from the In or Out point of a clip. These small adjustments to your initial edits help to create smoother edits.

Trim Edit window
This window provides very precise control while trimming. It displays both sides of an edit--the outgoing clip before the edit point and the incoming clip that appears after it--allowing you to adjust your edit with frame-level accuracy. You can also use this window to trim a group of edits in multiple tracks at once (only one edit per track).

Dynamic and asymmetric trimming
Final Cut Express includes dynamic trimming in the enhanced Trim Edit window. When dynamic trimming is on, keyboard controls allow you to trim on the fly. Move the playhead using the J, K, and L keys to find new Out and In points for the selected edit point. If dynamic trimming is turned on in the General tab of the User Preferences window, the selected edit point moves to the new position of the playhead whenever you stop. In addition, Final Cut Express supports asymmetric trimming--an advanced technique that gives you a fast way to trim multiple clips in opposite directions.

Add Transitions and Effects
Final Cut Express gives you a suite of powerful tools for adding cool effects. And since you can use third-party FxPlug filter effects, your creative options are unlimited as well. Add a transition between clips. Use the Color Corrector to fix and match clips or to create a dramatic look. Control all effects and motion parameters with keyframes for professional looks and precise timing.

See it now with real-time effects
With the real-time engine in Final Cut Express, you get superb results quickly, without rendering. RT Extreme is an enhanced multistream, real-time effects architecture that lets you view your projects without rendering as you experiment with effects, transitions, composition, and filters. Final Cut Express 4 includes Dynamic RT, which adjusts resolution and frame rate on the fly for maximum real-time performance, letting you set it and forget it.

RT Extreme leverages the strengths of Mac OS X and the Intel or PowerPC processor to support a scalable number of video streams and real-time effects: The number of available video streams and real-time effects increases as processor speeds increase. Real-time video transitions and filters appear in bold in the Effects tab and in the Effects menu to indicate that they will play back in real time. The RT Extreme pop-up menu in the Timeline gives you several options for effects processing. You can choose between various modes that deliver either maximum simultaneous streams and real-time effects or guaranteed playback without dropped frames.

• Safe. In Safe mode, Final Cut Express provides guaranteed playback of real-time effects. The number of streams and effects is based on the capabilities of your system.
• Unlimited. In Unlimited mode, Final Cut Express uses every bit of processing power available, allowing you to stack up multiple streams of video. When Unlimited is selected, you can use nearly all of the more than 200 effects, filters, and transitions in real time.
• Dynamic RT. In Unlimited RT mode, you can choose the Dynamic setting for Playback Video Quality, Playback Frame Rate, or both. In Dynamic mode, resolution and frame rate are adjusted automatically, on the fly, so you always get the optimal real-time performance at the maximum quality possible. For example, Final Cut Express will play back your project at Full Frame Rate unless it recognizes a section of the Timeline that requires a lower frame rate for real-time playback. It will adjust for that section, then automatically return to Full Frame Rate once the section is done. Dynamic RT lets you set it and forget it, confident that you are always leveraging the maximum real-time performance of your CPU.

Smooth out your transitions
A transition is a visual effect used to change from one clip in your edited sequence to the next. Transitions, especially dissolves, generally give the viewer an impression of a change in time or location. Final Cut Express comes with a variety of transitions from which to choose, including cross-dissolve, page peel, cube spin, and gradient wipe.

Use color to create better images
The color correction filters in Final Cut Express provide precise control over the look of every clip. You can adjust the color balance, hue, saturation, black levels, mids, and white levels on individual clips. Check flesh tones and other key elements for consistency and accuracy in color. Evaluate and manipulate the brightness and color levels of clips in preparation for output to tape. All the tools needed to analyze and color-correct clips are included.

You can use the two-way color corrector to adjust the angle of hue and overall balance of an image. This filter can be combined with Image Control filters as well as Matte and Key filters. The assortment of filters makes Final Cut Express exceptionally powerful and flexible for corrective finishing work. The Color Corrector has numeric controls as well as visual user interfaces. All parameters can be changed over time through the use of keyframes. Both interfaces have Limit Effect controls, allowing you to isolate color correction operations to specific areas of an image based on chrominance, luminance, saturation, or any combination. There are a number of reasons to use the color correction filters included with Final Cut Express:

• Ensuring that a project's key elements look the way they should. The color correction tools let you make whatever adjustments are necessary to ensure that the colors and the flesh tones of people in the final edited piece look the way they did in reality.
• Balancing all the shots in a scene to match. With careful color correction, all of the clips in a scene can be balanced to match one another so that they look as if they happened at the same time and in the same place, with the same lighting.
• Correcting errors in color balance and exposure. The color correction filters provide an exceptional degree of control over the color balance and exposure of clips, allowing you to perfect your adjustments.
• Achieving a "look." With color correction, you have control over whether your video has rich, saturated colors or a more muted look. Such subtle modifications can alter the perception of the scene being played, changing its mood.
• Creating contrast or special effects. Using color correction, you can subtly accentuate differences. You can also create more extreme effects, such as manipulating the colors of an exposure to achieve a day-for-night look. You can even keyframe color changes over time; for example, gradually changing a clip from sepia-toned to full color.

FxPlug filters and effects
Final Cut Express comes with more than 200 transitions, filters, and effects, including over 50 new FxPlug plug-ins that use GPU-accelerated rendering. Bundled filters and effects range from standard items like dissolves, wipes, and blurs to more stylized FxPlug effects like Light Rays, Line Art, and Insect Eye. When you need even more creative options, Final Cut Express lets you expand your effects palette with optional third-party FxPlug support, the same plug-in architecture used by Final Cut Studio.

Copy, paste, and remove attributes
When working with large projects or sequences that contain repetitive effects, filters, and motion, it is often convenient to copy and paste the attributes from one clip to another (or others). Similarly, you can remove attributes from a clip or clips. You can paste keyframes as is or scale them to fit the duration of the clip on which they are being pasted. The following attributes can be copied, pasted, or removed from any clip.

Compositing and Titles
Final Cut Express provides powerful tools to manipulate, animate, or combine images. You can achieve impressive results by layering video clips or graphics files, such as multilayered Adobe Photoshop files, to create rich visual images and animations. You can also create outstanding titles with filters, effects, and compositing.

By combining two or more video tracks, also called compositing, you can create excitement with sophisticated special effects and visually rich imagery.

Final Cut Express supports a virtually unlimited number of video, text, and graphics layers.

All parameters of an object--such as size, rotation, corner distortion, and any applied effects--are also controllable using keyframes.

LiveType 2 is a full-featured, professional-quality titling application that allows you to create dynamic, animated titles quickly and easily.

Use Multiple Video Layers
Using multiple video layers is one of the simplest and fastest ways to add a professional look to your projects. By combining two or more video tracks, also called compositing, you can create excitement with sophisticated special effects and visually rich imagery. Using the virtually unlimited number of video tracks, make dynamic, composited video--like picture-in-picture, split-screen, and video collages. A sequence can be nested as a clip in another sequence, and any changes in a nested sequence ripple through all sequences that contain it. Edited sequences are fully changeable and can be nested for reuse again and again in multiple Timelines.

Seeing your effects and compositions in real time instead of waiting for them to render lets you experiment more and spend less time editing. The RT Extreme engine intelligently scales to the capabilities of your hardware, providing dramatically more real-time effects, transitions, and video layers--even when you are using HD footage or editing on a laptop computer. Dynamic RT adjusts frame rate and resolution on the fly, so you always get the maximum real-time performance.

Professional compositing results
Final Cut Express supports a virtually unlimited number of video, text, and graphics layers. You can import Adobe Photoshop files directly into Final Cut Express either as a flattened image or with all layers maintained on separate tracks. You can then combine your Photoshop graphics with video, apply animation and effects to the layers, and add additional titles and animated elements from LiveType.

Complete control of all effects, including motion
All video layers in Final Cut Express can have motion attributes added to them for dynamic compositing. Bezier and numeric controls enable you to change the position of layers, create motion paths with or without a curve, and adjust the acceleration of objects along a path, ensuring smooth, highly sophisticated results. To create motion for an object or video layer, you create a keyframe by clicking the Add Keyframe button, move to a new point on the Timeline, and then drag the object to a new location. A path is automatically drawn. Changing the spacing of the points along the path adjusts the acceleration of the item. Adjustments are made right on the path itself, providing direct feedback on how the animation will work. All parameters of an object--such as size, rotation, corner distortion, and any applied effects--are also controllable using keyframes.

Speak with Titles
Titling provides a finishing touch, and Final Cut Express has all the tools necessary to create beautiful titles, using the built-in tools or the bundled LiveType application. Keyframe and animate titles like any other object. Make text crawl, scroll, or appear in the lower third of the screen. You can even create animated type on effects or spin text in 3D space using the Boris 3D title generator.

LiveType
LiveType 2 is a full-featured, professional-quality titling application that allows you to create dynamic, animated titles quickly and easily. With LiveFonts--fonts with their own animated behaviors--plus full support for all system fonts and a way to create new effects, LiveType is simple enough for the first-time user and powerful enough for the professional.

LiveType comes with integrated LiveFonts, as well as easily adapted project templates, customizable keyframed effects, and a library of animated content. It also includes alpha channel support, dynamic individual character control, and frame-accurate registration with Final Cut Express projects. Professionally designed templates get your project off to a fast start (you can build and save your own templates as well).

LiveType templates combine the various elements available in the application, including LiveFonts, system fonts, and animated textures and objects, into ready-touse, customizable projects for your video.

LiveFonts
Developed specifically for video and designed by professional animators, LiveFonts let you type out sophisticated animated font styles as easily as you'd type out a system font. And because they're created with an alpha channel, LiveFonts key right over video.

Royalty-free content
LiveType comes with broadcast-quality animated textures and objects that you can use in your projects, allowing even nonanimators to produce professional-level content right out of the box. The textures can be used full screen, matted inside text or objects, or scaled down for use in lower thirds.

Customizable effects
Effects in LiveType are like digital building blocks--modular behaviors that include movement, transformation, and timing parameters. The more than 200 prebuilt effects that come with LiveType give you the power to add fades, zooms, rotations, and motion that ripple through your letters, and you can create your own styles by adjusting these effects in the LiveType interface. You can also use LiveType to create effects dynamically on the fly and even save them for use in future projects. Its unique approach to keyframe animation makes creating effects quick and easy.

Timing is everything
With LiveType, animation is easier than ever before. Each keyframe in an effect contains all the parameters for that moment in time, eliminating the time-consuming hassle of long keyframe stacks. And since LiveType treats every character of the word as a separate layer, powerful timing features such as sequencing give you the creative freedom to move single characters in a text block with individual timing elements, so you're not limited to blocks of text that fly around the screen as one image. The wireframe preview lets you see your work in real time.

Flexible and compatible
You can import clips from Final Cut Express complete with markers, so it's easy to synchronize your titles to important video and audio transitions in your video projects. LiveType also imports and exports all QuickTime-supported file formats, including Adobe Photoshop, JPEG, TIFF, and PICT.

A wide range of options
Final Cut Express supports direct Timeline file placement of LiveType projects, for a smooth and easy workflow. LiveType can create a QuickTime movie that you can import into your Final Cut Express bin like any other file, and creates files with or without an alpha channel, making them available to your Final Cut Express projects.

In addition, LiveType allows you to set up your own project size and resolution, so you can work in a custom setting of your choosing. It also supports all of your system fonts, including PostScript and TrueType fonts, making it possible to create an even wider spectrum of titling effects.

Audio
With Final Cut Express, you can edit, enhance, and adjust a video's audio tracks. Final Cut Express can mix up to 99 tracks and play back up to eight audio tracks in real time. You can add multiple tracks of music, sound effects, or voiceover quickly and easily.

Capture audio directly to the Timeline from a built-in or external microphone with the Voice Over tool.

Real-Time Audio Filters
Audio filters can be adjusted in real time as the track is playing, so you can hear your work in progress. This helps you experiment more and exercise more creative control over your projects. Final Cut Express includes a number of filters for adjusting your audio clips to be as strong, clear, and noise-free as possible. Filters can also be used to blend the clips in your audio mix to prevent the sound quality or tone of a particular clip from standing out.

• Soft normalize filter. This nondestructive filter scans the audio for the peak (loudest) sample level, then applies a gain filter that brings the peak to the level you request. This is ideal for achieving consistency in your audio soundtracks.
• Equalization filters. Use equalization filters to correct unnatural-sounding audio recordings by adjusting specific frequencies. For example, if your audio was recorded in a room that accentuates treble or bass, you can reduce those frequencies.
• Compressor/limiter and expansion filters. These filters allow you to adjust an audio clip's dynamic range after it has been captured. The compressor/limiter filter lets you adjust the dynamic range of an audio clip so that the loudest part of the clip is compressed to within a specified range of the softest part of the clip. The expansion filter raises parts of a clip that are too low.
• Hum remover. The hum remover lets you get rid of "cycle hum" (a low buzzing) that may have been introduced into your audio recording by power lines crossing your cables or by a shorted ground wire.
• Vocal DeEsser. This filter is essentially a specialized equalizer that reduces the "ess" sounds produced by a speaker with pronounced s's or a microphone that accentuates high frequencies.
• Vocal DePopper. The Vocal DePopper lets you attenuate the harsh "p" sounds that result from puffs of breath bursting into the microphone.
• Echo and reverb filters. These "effects" filters help you match foreground audio clips to the background in which they appear.
• Noise gate. The noise gate eliminates all sound below a specified volume threshold.

Precise Controls
There's no fumbling when trying to edit audio with Final Cut Express. Subframe audio editing down to 1/100 of a frame gives precise control over audio edits. Dynamic audio level meters provide instant visual information on the range of an audio track as it plays, and audio pan controls make it easy to work with stereo tracks during playback. In the Timeline, solo and mute controls allow you to isolate individual audio tracks. And no re-rendering is required when muted tracks are reactivated, so you save an incredible amount of time as well.

Voice Over Tool
Capture audio directly to the Timeline from a built-in or external microphone with the Voice Over tool. Create quick scratch tracks or voiceover work while editing a project. The Voice Over tool provides a countdown cue, and records before start and after stop to provide the recorded sound with handles.

Finding Your Audience
You've used Final Cut Express to put the finishing touches on your movie. You're done with editing, compositing, and color corrections. You've added effects, transitions, and titles, and you've created professional audio tracks. Now you have several options for sharing your finished project.

Supporting both 1080i and 720p HD resolutions, Final Cut Express 4 automatically performs the necessary scaling, cropping and frame rate adjustments. When starting projects from scratch, the new simplified setup automatically configures everything based on the first clip dropped on the Timeline. Final Cut Express 4 makes it easy to import iMovie 08 projects and enhance them with advanced editing capabilities such as multiple layers of video and graphics, picture in picture effects and animated titles.
