With the advent of nonlinear editing systems, editing is as much a technical art as it is aesthetic. Understanding some basic video approaches will not only improve your technical aptitude but also allow you the freedom to concentrate on the art of editing. You will learn how to organize an online or offline video project, gather project content, and convert offline content to online resolutions and online content to offline resolutions.

In this lesson, you'll observe the workflow of a typical video. Your project specifications may vary, but the principles of video workflow still hold. And since Final Cut Pro is adaptable, it will accommodate different approaches seamlessly.
