Technical audit of bait tutorial

In class we were taught bait editing, to edit footage using 'final cut pro'. We were given differentiation of shots to edit.
These are some of the keys we used and what they did:
'I' - this was used to cut the shot down to where you want it to start
'0' - this is used to cut the shot down to where you want it to finish
'Alt' - when you click on a gap between two footage cuts and hold the alt button down it gets rid of the gap

To cut down rushes you press 'o' and 'I'. You then drag the cuts down in what ever order u plea, onto the timeline. Doing this it simplyfies match cuts, therefore making it easy to create aswel as efficient. If the cuts changes you can drag the original cut to create a gap in the timeline where you insert the new cuts in the existing gaps. If you have two clips and you want to put a clip in between them you use the insert edit, yellow, button by lining the yellow line on the timeline up in the place you want to insert it and then clicking the button. The razor blade tool on the right side of the screen is used to cut footage cuts down. Music can also be dragged onto the shot from the computer, if mp3's are used for sound tracks they must be changed, meaning altering their format in advance for better quality. There are many different effects you can apply to the footages for example 'dissolve' which is done by pressing 'command' and 'T' when the line is at its prefered place on the clip.
