We'll be making our own 'Monthly Favourites' video, using all these techniques to put together a snappy edit with some simple B roll.

The Project

Film, edit and share your own Monthly Favourites video where you talk about up to 4 things that you've discovered or enjoyed this month.

If you're brand new to video editing, or just want to get your feet wet, feel free to choose just 1 item that you'll talk about on camera.

Filming the Video

This class focuses on editing, and so we've skipped past the filming stage. To keep things simple, if you don't have a camera setup or don't have any experience in filming yourself, please use your phone. Just turn your phone landscape, and using the default camera app, film a selfie-video of yourself talking about your Monthly Favourite(s).

We're not interested in video quality here, we're interested in learning how to edit in Final Cut Pro X, and how to make the edit snappy and interesting. The video quality can always be improved later :)

Raw Footage from my Monthly Favourites video

If you're not keen to have your face on camera, that's okay - feel free to download the raw footage from my August 2019 Favourites video, and you can use that to edit along in Final Cut.
