Today we did the final editing for our commercial. The first step we did was import all of the clips we recorded onto the computer. Next we needed to import all of the clips onto fl pinnacle studios. The next step was to select which clips we wanted to use. There was a lot of trips we had to choose from. We were very relieved that we took so many shots. A lot of clips had minor issues in them either with the visual or the audio. We did have enough takes that were fine to use. We then took our selected perfect clips and edited them together.
We did this by dragging one clip onto the other. You need to make the end of the first clip touch the beginning of the second clip. By doing this you can play them with no gap between the clips. The next step we did what is make the clips shorter and go together more smoothly. We needed to remove the beginning of the clips before the scene starts. This removes anything we didn't want once the camera started rolling. Once we had the clips shortened and pasted together we had to work with the audio. Most of what we had recorded originally was what we were going to use. A few of the clips needed to be re recorded for the audio. We had to import the new audio we recorded today. It was the same process as importing the visual clips.
Under the visual clip line there is a audio clip line. We took the audio clip to and trimmed it down to match the visual. Then we inserted the audio into the audio line for the scene. Another issued we had to deal with was the narration/voiceover. We recorded voiceover for the slogan of the commercial. Doing this was rather easy all we needed to do was play the audio over a picture of the Gatorade bottle itself. Next we had to insert a picture of the Gatorade logo at the end. After we finished all the editing we watched the final product. We noticed the speed of the voiceover didn't match the clip it was on. We figured out how to speed up the audio without speeding up the visual.
