As I have never used Final Cut Pro X before (the software I will be using to edit my music video) I decided to look at a few videos so that I could understand how to use it. This is so when I do begin editing I actually have an idea of how to do it and don't waste time playing around with it. Hopefully this further research will help me to produce a video that looks professional.
The first video I watched is above. It is a tutorial for beginners which runs through how to do basic things such as import clips, drag clips onto the timeline, cut clips down, add/remove sound, add effects and share the final product. I found this video very helpful as it provided the basic stuff that I needed to know to be able to use the software at a reasonable level. I now know how to do things which I may have struggled with before and so feel I am more equipped to actually start the editing process.
Although the last clip was very helpful in allowing me to understand how to actually edit using the software it was not specifically based on editing a music video together and so to gain further knowledge I looked at the above video which focuses on editing a music video. This video showed me how to edit the clip in time to the music (helpful for lip sync) and also showed me how to put cuts in etc. This video was also very helpful as it showed me specific things which I am likely to do when editing my music video such as matching the clip to the music. After watching both of these clips (and a couple more which I haven't posted) I believe I am ready to begin the editing process and feel as though I can produce a high standard product.
