During Further Editing

We have got to a point in the editing stage where we have now roughly finished the first minute or so of our music video. This includes the intro to our video and the intro to the song. The process of editing the video is taking longer than we expected as there is so much footage that we have recorded we think we filmed 'too much'. Since there is so much footage it is taking time to select the parts we want from each clip meaning we are spending a lot of time re-watching our clips to choose what parts we want to use.

Our timeline in Final Cut involves many different layers so that while editing it is clear what layer is being used and we can cut between different layers. Also since in most of the lip syncing shots the whole song is begin sung, all the clips are now synced up to the music so it means we do not have to waste time trying to sync each clip up with the music as they are already in time with with the music.
