Final Cut Pro provides these video and still-image analysis options:
 Analyze for stabilization and rolling shutter: Analyzes video clips and adds analysis
keywords to clips with excessive shake, rolling shutter, or both. If a clip has an
Excessive Shake keyword, you can x the shaking after you add the clip to the
Timeline by turning on Stabilization and Rolling Shutter corrections. See “Correct
excessive shake and rolling shutter issues” on page 170.
Note: If you’re analyzing for stabilization problems, it’s recommended that you also
select the “Create Smart Collections after analysis” checkbox so you can easily locate
clips with the Excessive Shake keyword.
 Analyze for balance color: Analyzes video clips to detect color balance and contrast.
Color is automatically balanced when you add the clip to the Timeline. You can turn
automatic color adjustments on and o at any time.
 Remove pulldown: Analyzes video clips and removes pulldown patterns.
Important: This option is only available when importing from a tape-based camera
or device.
 Find people: Analyzes video clips and still images for the number of people present
and shot types. After analysis, any of the following keywords are added to the clip
or still image: One Person, Two Persons, Group, Close Up Shot, Medium Shot, and
Wide Shot.
Note: If you’re analyzing to nd people, it’s recommended that you also select the
“Create Smart Collections after analysis” checkbox so you can easily locate clips with
“nd people” analysis keywords.
 Consolidate nd people results: Summarizes all of the “nd people” analysis keywords
into one shot type keyword and one people keyword for every two-minute
segment of the video. Select this checkbox if you don’t need to know all of the
“nd people” analysis keywords and instead want a summary of the keywords over
a longer duration of the clip. For example, if you have a clip that contains three
close-up shots and two wide shots, selecting the “Consolidate nd people results”
checkbox gives that clip a Close Up Shot keyword (the most prevalent keyword for
that segment). If that same clip includes four shots containing one person and one
shot containing a group of people, selecting the “Consolidate nd people results”
checkbox gives that clip a One Person keyword (the most prevalent keyword for
that segment). If a clip is over two minutes, selecting the “Consolidate nd people
results” checkbox gives every two-minute segment of that clip a shot type keyword
and a “nd people” analysis keyword.
 Create Smart Collections after analysis: Creates a Smart Collection for each keyword
applied when analyzing video clips for image stabilization problems or analyzing
video clips and still images for the presence of people. The Smart Collections are
sorted by type (people, shot type), and appear in a folder inside the Event in the
Event Library.
