DVCPRO 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. DVCPRO50
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.
DVCPRO HD 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 A group of seven tools you can use when 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.
embedded captions CEA-608 captions that are included in the output media file. Viewers
can turn embedded captions on or off while watching TV shows, movies, web videos, and
other programs. In contrast, titles and burned-in captions are always permanently visible in
the output media file.
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.
equirectangular projection A display of 360° video that shows all parts of a three-
dimensional sphere flattened in a video frame, similar to world maps that depict the globe
as a two-dimensional rectangle.
