Research | Evaluation On Lip Sync Tutorial

In our previous lesson, we were given on lip-syncing and how to base track edit on Final Cut Pro. Base track editing is an key aspect when producing our own music video, it allows us to edit our footage easier to achieve the visual appearance and pleasure we wish in the final outcome. As the lesson is mainly focusing on base track, we were given a Rock genre footage:

1) Start by dragging down the original soundtrack to the timeline. Look at the footage provided, drag and drop the desired footage you wish to use in the sequence timeline which will lead to layers being created as shown below. 




2) After all your chosen footage is on the sequence, mute all the tracks expect from the original allowing you to only hear the original track. Mark the first clear word you hear and repeat on the clips. This ensure all the clips are in rhythm when lined up with the same starting point. After click on the timeline above making sure no footage is selected and start marking the track on every 4 counts, the edits will change with the beat of the song which refers back to Vernallis's theory of changes within the music video.

3) Click on the 'blade tool' on the right hand side bar on the sequence to cut each section from the marked beat to shortens each clip. Began to delete the clips you don't want which will cut from on scene to another making the music video more appealing and interesting to watch.
