Glossary 483
DVCPRO A standard-definition (SD) digital videotape recorder format that records an 8-bit, 5:1
compressed component video signal using 4:1:1 color sampling (PAL uses 4:2:0). Supports two
tracks of audio with 16-bit, 48 kHz audio sampling.
DVCPRO50 A standard-definition (SD) digital videotape recorder format that records an 8-bit,
3.3:1 compressed component video signal with 4:2:2 color sampling. Supports four tracks of
audio with 16-bit, 48 kHz audio sampling.
DVCPRO HD A high-definition (HD) video format that records an 8-bit, compressed component
video signal with 4:2:2 color sampling. Both 720p and 1080i are supported. Includes up to eight
tracks of audio with 16-bit, 48 kHz audio sampling. The total data rate is 115 Mbps.
DVD A disc that is the size of a CD but that uses higher-density storage methods to significantly
increase its capacity. Although usually used for video distribution, DVD-ROM discs can also be
used to store computer data.
dynamic range The difference, in decibels, between the loudest and softest parts of a recording.
ease in An effect in which an object in motion decelerates slowly until it comes to a stop, rather
than ending its movement abruptly. This simulates the effect of friction in the real world and
generally creates a more natural, organic-looking effect than a linear movement would.
ease out An effect in which an object in motion accelerates from its starting position slowly
rather than beginning its movement at full speed. This simulates the effect of inertia and friction
in the real world and generally creates a more natural, organic-looking effect than a linear
movement would.
editing tools The seven tools from which you can choose when you’re working in the Timeline:
Select tool, Trim tool, Position tool, Range Selection tool, Blade tool, Zoom tool, and Hand tool.
When you choose a tool, the pointer changes to the icon for that tool.
edit point Edit points define the part of a clip you want to use in an edited project. Edit points
include start points, which specify the beginning of a section of a clip or project, and end points,
which specify the end of a section of a clip or project. An edit point is also a point in the Timeline
where the end point of one clip meets the start point of the next clip. This edit point can be
selected for various operations.
Effects Browser A media browser in Final Cut Pro that contains video and audio clip effects.
equalization An equalizer (commonly abbreviated as EQ) shapes the sound of incoming audio
by changing the level of specific frequency bands. Equalization is one of the most commonly
used audio processes, both for music projects and in video post-production work. You can use
EQ to subtly or significantly shape the sound of an audio file, instrument, or project by adjusting
specific frequencies or frequency ranges.
event When you import video, audio, and still images, or record directly into Final Cut Pro, the
source media files (your raw footage) are stored in events. An event is similar to a folder that can
hold dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of video clips, audio clips, and still images, as well as
projects. Each event in the library refers to media on your hard disk, and a database file keeps
track of where everything is.
Event Viewer The Event Viewer is a separate video display that appears next to the main Viewer
and is used to play clips in the Browser only.
exposure The amount of light in video or film images. Exposure affects the overall brightness of
the image as well as its perceived contrast.
