Maintaining aspect ratio when exporting stills in Final Cut Pro
One of the downsides to being out of the field for awhile is that you come across problems that you either forgot how to solve or have yet to figure out. Since this is my first attempt at an audio slide show using my Canon HV30 for the audio, I realized that some vital photos were only taken with the video camera while recording audio. Alas, a handy work-around allows you to utilize high-quality video images in your next audio slide show.
Flash Tip: URLs in XML
One of my first assignments here at The Roanoke Times was to create a package detailing Virginia Tech’s 2007 football season, with links to archival stories, photo galleries and videos. I knew I wanted to use XML, but I wasn’t sure how to put a URL link in XML and have it show up as a link in Flash. Why I bring this up is because a recent assignment made me go back to these files to familiarize myself with the code, so I wanted to share it with you all in case you ever get stumped.
