Using Effects

Final Cut Pro provides extensive effects capabilities, including common film effects such
as dissolves, wipes, speed changes, and text credits. Keep in mind that the video output
of Final Cut Pro is not intended to be transferred to film, and these effects must be created
by a facility specializing in opticals, or created digitally using high-resolution scans of
footage to be composited. See

Using Effects, Filters, and Transitions

for more information,

including an outline of the basic workflow for including effects and transitions in your
digitally edited film.
