The editing was going really well and smoothly, everything was coming together well as Liam was familiar with the software through his research and mock work. We were about 2/3rds of the way through the editing and it all took a turn for the worst. I (Liam) was editing a clip in time with the beat and in order to do this I had to lengthen a transition. When I clicked the transition and changed the length I did not realise that there was a checkbox next to it saying "apply to all transitions" therefore we went on to compete the rest of the video making everything click into place. Then when it came to exporting the clip, Liam played it back and then we realised the lip sync and timings were not as we originally had them. It took us about half an hour to realise what was actually the problem. Then we figured out it was the transitions they had all been set to 1 second rather than the original 0.5.
Once this issue was resolved we went back and fixed the transitions and then our video was back to the way we wanted it to be.
We our all very happy with our video especially for a first draft and can not wait until the rest of the class see it and pass on their reviews. We can then take there comments on board and go back to the drawing board and get to work enhancing our video for our final draft.
Hi guys, well done on a successful catchy, music video.
ReplyDeleteA few comments to consider for editing to make it even better for Friday's lessons.
• double check lipsync in areas at it was slightly out, against colour brick wall, pan shot and tracking shot at beginning.
• Use more successful styles and techniques to your advantage - slo mo background merge skater at Pierhead, footage from amsterdam anything a bit clearer? Or was that the intended 'gritty' style change?
• Make sure you discuss your still shots and express/ relate it to your concept/ initial ideas.
• All of you need to comment on the success of this draft and what changes you would make as a group..list them and show how you will make changes.
I look forward to the 2nd final version
