Splicing is not a slice of pie!

 Today I started editing the audio. I did this for my last project, the Inkjoy commercial. My group trusts me to do this as I have a particular skill for matching up and getting the exact audio pitches correct. It has been a while since I have extracted audio, so I had to re-teach myself. I went on YouTube and looked up how to extract audios. Then it clicked, and I remembered what steps I had taken. I started by screen recording clips of the YouTube video baby by Justin Bieber. Then I went into editing software CapCut and extracted sounds from the screen recordings. And then collected the audio slices from the videos downloaded them to the software. Once I had the audio slices, I had to figure out which order they would sound best. And in doing this, I partially remixed this song. I had to fade specific clips and adjust their decibels. Then I added new beats tube to unify the lyrics. I also added scratching from DJ boards to bring the pieces together with transitions. This process was actually pretty tricky. I created several different versions of the remix. It was hard to decide and get them perfect. There would be slight glitches and breaks in between the clips. That sounded awful. However, I think I finally got the definitive version. I then downloaded them all to compare and decide on the final one. I sent it over to the other teammates for their opinions, and they agreed with me.

Clips and Time Crunching

   Now that we’ve finished filming, it’s time to head to our tried-and-true editing app, CapCut. We’ve used this for every project, and I’d like to think we were successful. The first step is adding the clips into the software in order. Despite how simple this may seem, searching through all the videos is difficult. We have to make sure it’s the right clip and place it in the right spot regarding the order. Then it’s time to eliminate time. That’s the most heartbreaking part. You spend hours acting, getting lines, and making sure your costume is correct. Only to have to cut scenes because they take us over time.   When we put the original clips together, we had 7 minutes and 42 seconds. A lot of time is extra. We start filming slightly before and slightly after to make we catch everything. So that cuts down a good chunk of time. Then we must speed up certain clips for the movie, which eliminates a lot more time. Then, we start to determine which scenes are unnecessary a...
