Use Keyframes for Camera Moves in Final Cut Pro! HD

In this video, I’ll walk you through the basics of how to add camera movement to your videos using keyframes in Final Cut Pro. And remember, when it comes to this technique, subtlety is key! There are times when having your camera stay completely still is the most effective way to communicate your point or tell your story. But other times, a subtle camera movement can bring your shot to life, direct the audience’s focus, or just add some visual interest to your video. But this can be tough if you film by yourself and don’t always have someone else to operate your camera.
