Base track editing
In today's lesson, we were set individually a task to work on previous A2 work (music video footage) by using Final Cut Pro. The techniques involved learning how to combine different base tracks all in one through the use of markers.
To make sure the lip synching of the artist is in time with the music, I imported the track onto the timeline and pressed 'M' on the keyboard when the artists voice entered. Afterwards, I used the similar technique with a clip of the artist singing and hit the 'M' key whenever her voice began to sing. From layering one basetrack, I would follow the same process with others until built a full timeline of clips. By doing this, it's a quick, suficient way to build different basetracks all at once so when it comes to cutting, it is not complicated and keeps your editing precise and neat.
After using experientation with markers, I then cut the different basetracks randomly from hitting the 'M' key once again on the timeline in accordance to the beat of the song. Consequently, this adds dynamic visuals to the video and gives it pace. Additionally, because much of the basetracks lacked movement, I decided to cut most of the tracks down to the beat of the song to add much more movement in order to accompany the rhythm of the song.
As a result of this, from the time given in lesson, here is the short clip of the re edited version of previous A2 work below:
