In Final Cut Pro we have video generators, text objects, and other Production elements that we can manipulate. Often these elements take a while to get to the point we use them. We then may have to do it all over again in the next project, or we open 3 projects to get the different elements we need for our current project.

Another option is to create a master Production Elements project, and keep it open all the time. This way you won't have to be constantly recreating the different elements for your projects. Anytime you need one of these production elements you simply select the Production Elements project tab and bring it into your project. Many of these elements may need a little adjustment. For example a text element may need different text, but the color, shadow, size, and font are all set.


You can also add a folder in the Finder, and keep frequently used files, like your studio logo, or your clients logos, in the Production Elements project. They will simply be pointing at the folder.

Final Cut Pro has it's own de-interlace filter.  The following tutorial will walk you through the steps of de-interlacing video in Final Cut Pro.  Alternatively, you can also download free de-interlacing software that runs as a third party program.

Usually you don't notice interlacing during video playback; until the motion is paused, or you want to use a particular frame to freeze.  Interlacing causes the still frame to "flicker" or a jittering to the image, also caused by poor video quality, or lack of a steady hand while filming.  Here's where the De-Interlacing Filter in Final Cut Pro comes in handy.  The De-Interlacing Filter works by simply removing either the upper (odd) or lower (even) field of information from any interlaced video.  It removes half the lines and interpolates the missing lines by using the remaining lines to create a whole image, with a little softening of the image as a result.

You can click on each image to see the difference.
