During the construction and editing of our music video we were faced with several problems. As no one in our group was a pro at using final cut it meant in some areas of our music video where we had a good idea and wanted to create it, could not be done. This for us as a group was stressful, as our knowledge of final cut was limiting our progress and our ideas. Luckily we had final cut pros at our disposal...the internet. We found that most of the problems that occured, when searched on the internet or youtube could be easily overcome. This gave us so much relief as a group and as individuals. There were so many tutorials at our disposal it was incredible, we were able to learn more about final cut so easily and free.
Here is one of the videos we used to help keep us on track and keep us out of any trouble:
From watching this short video you would probably have an idea of what type of problem we encountered during the editing. Well, on recording day where we went to shoot our videos we thought we had done a great job in terms of lighting, the song and...the lip syncing. But we were later proved wrong when we were exposed by final cut. We put in a clip into final cut and made sure it corresponded with the sound track and found that our artist had come out of lip sync or was too slow or too fast half way in a verse. This was a problem, a very big problem and with the deadline for our rough cut just days away and no time to record, we needed to find a way to overcome this problem. This is where the help of this video came in. We simply used one of the tools on final cut to speed up or slow down the video so that the lip syncing and the sound track went together!
Here is how we did it:
First i had to locate the problem or the part of the clip which i want to edit and either make slower or faster. When this was done i highlighted/selected the part of the clip. I then i went to "Modify - Speed"
