After going out and filming my music video I had the task of putting the footage together to make the actual video. To edit this I used Adobe Premiere Pro.
Below is my editing process;
My first job when editing my footage was to get the footage into my working area. To do this I had to import the clips using the import option in the file drop down
I then had this window appear, as shown, where I just had to search for my files and select them to import.
I had to do this with both my video clips and the soundtrack.
Once these were selected I just had to wait for them to load. This took quite a while due to the amount of footage that I had collected.
I then simply had to drag in the piece of music that my music video was going to be supporting. once it was dragged to the correct position I was then able to let go and it would turn to a neon green, showing it was set in place as shown below.
Once my sound was in place, I had to start editing my footage and dragging that into the project. I did this by cutting it down using the central window then dragging is down into the project.
I later had a clip that I thought I wanted to use. It was a panning shot but the speed was too fast and therefore I wanted to slow it down to try and see if it was a good match to the sequence.
I did this by right clicking on the chosen clip and selecting speed/duration. Then a small window pops up where I can alter the speed to whatever is appropriate. However, this clip was later deleted due to the lack of steadiness.
I wanted to add some text to my video at the start so to do this I needed to make a title. I therefore clicked on the drop down option of 'Title' then hovered over 'New Title' and then selected 'Default Still'
Once I had done that, a new window had appeared where I could enter my text as I wanted and then I was able move it to where I wanted it.
Once all that my filming was edited with the correct text and sequences, I had to export the movie so that it would render. This tied all loose edges and enabled me to move it as an entire movie and not a selection of clips.
I then simply had to drag in the piece of music that my music video was going to be supporting. once it was dragged to the correct position I was then able to let go and it would turn to a neon green, showing it was set in place as shown below.
