    Chapter 7. Transitions and Effects > Monitoring Video Levels

    Monitoring Video Levels

    Final Cut Pro provides a fast way to check your video levels.

    In the Audio chapter, we learned that there are three technical requirements in every project: audio levels that don’t distort, video white levels below 100 percent, and video chroma levels that are not excessive.
