Editing: Layering Footage Together


In today's lesson, I learnt how to do a simple, yet visually striking effect on Final Cut Pro. It involved layering two sets of footage over each other, which composes an outstanding outcome. In order to carry out this effect, you must layer the two clips on top of each other, as shown in the photo above and then you have to highlight them both.


Once you have got to this stage, you must left click on the selected area and go to 'composite mode', where you will be given the option of "Overlay" which will layer the footage over one another. We decided to use this effect throughout our music video, to compose a clear flow and portray continuity within the cuts.



We used the overlay effect in a range of areas throughout our music video, to show a sense of flow. Here are some of the other overlays which we created:
