Final Cut Pro

                                                                                To add images to Final Cut Pro select them and drag them into this box. This will allow you to drag the pictures into the timeline.















 This is the timeline, you can drag pictures into this box to create your sequence.

Once you have dragged your pictures into the timeline they will look like this. Now, by selecting the picture you can change how long it will be shown for and drag it to where you want the picture to be shown which means you can change the order of the pictures.

Once you have dragged the pictures into the timeline, you can then click the play button on these screens to view how that video to will look once you have put it together properly.







Once you have got a sequence which you have put together you can then 'Nest' the items by clicking 'Sequence' then by clicking 'Nest' items. This will put the images together. And if like me, your pictures were taken in portrait; you can now change the the video to the way around you want, by selecting the video in the box where you would view the video, go to the corner and rotate the video.

You can now add music. You can do this by dragging a track into the box which you dragged the pictures into, then dragging the music into the bar below the bar which you dragged your pictures into. Once you press play now the video might beep instead of play the video; also you will see a red line on top of the timeline box. This means that the video needs rendering.

 To render a video you click 'Sequence', 'Render All' then click 'Both'.

To add text to a picture go to the first video box. At the bottom of this, there is a box with an 'A' on it. Click this and a set of options will appear click 'Text'  then click 'Text' again.












Once you have selected Text, this box will come up. Here you can choose what you want to write and what it will look like on the video.
Once you have decided this, click back onto Video and drag this onto the timeline like a picture.

Once you have added music, you can add a final touch to make your video, to make fade out. You can do this by clicking 'Effects' then click 'Default - Cross Fade (+3dB)'. This will bring your video to a slow end instead of just stopping and cutting off feeling like it hasn't finished yet.
