Dear Greg,
Thank you so much for your answer. This is more detailed than I could have hoped for. As you probably noticed, I am new when it comes to FCP editing (and video in general). I will follow each and every step and see if it will load faster and look better. I have many clips that I feel are good, but I need to improve the editing! Your answer helps me a lot.
The shots were takens with a 14-24 Nikkor. A beautiful lens, but I should not have filmed in its widest angle, I feel.
Thank you!
Mirjam
