Editing: Skills development

What new Editing Skills Have we learnt...

- Using Markers to ensure that all the Base Tracks are in sync with the music

The markers are the little house shaped figures, the come up when you press 'M' on the key bored. To make sure that our clips were in sync with the video we pressed M when the artist said a certain lyric and a little marker icon would appear on the timeline or a highlighted clip, when we did this for all of our base tracks we then lined them up an all of our base tracks were in sync with the music.

- Making a clip slow motion whilst the lyrics that the artist in the clip are singing are still in sync with the original pace of the track

For this to happen, before we went out filming we had to speed up the song by the amount that we wanted e.g. 30%, then we filmed with the artist singing along with the sped up version. When we came to edit it we had to reduce the speed of the clip by 30% and the slow motion effect was complete.
