Syncing the base track
Today we uploaded all our footage to the computer and checked out our project on Final Cut Server which allowed us to work on our clips on Final Cut Pro. We then uploaded the music track we used on the shoot day which had an introduction before the song of a series of beeps and then on each clip we filmed a laptop which counted the seconds of the beeps. Having this helped us so much when syncing each shot to the base track as we knew exactly where to cut. I played each clip and pressed 'I' when the number got to 00:01:52 and dragged that clip onto the edit bar next to the music so they both started at the same time. We then deleted all the clips audio so we only had the original track playing. We also went through all the clips and red labelled the ones that were cut short or randomly recording and were useless to remind us we dont need them. Next time we edit I plan to go back and watch the clips we didnt put on the edit bar and label the stylistic shots one colour and non lip syncing shots another colour so we can create a key to organise different types of shots. We should also separate our shots into folders of the best shots, okay shots and ones we wont need but we wont delete any just in case we end up needing a short frame from one.
