A short Video tutorial

I just wanted to show every one that how simple final cut really is. The 1:40 video that I made for our presentation only took about 40 min to make. That is fairly fast considering a normal ratio is about hour per 1 min of edited material. so 1/60.

Any way here are a few screen shots.
here is the time line

if we zoom in you can see that all I used was a change in the opacity to allow the video to fade into the text. There is a way to do this with filters but i wanted it to be all random.

then for the flicker effect of the text I simply used the blink filter and changed the opacity on that as well. The same things was done using motion filter to cause the text to zoom in and out

here is the link if you have any questions on a particular part please ask.

Thanks for helping show that the technology is not as scary as we sometimes make it out to be.
