Editing

          We were supposed to start editing on Friday, but the computers weren’t working. So now it’s Tuesday and the computers still aren’t working. But it’s fine because I decided to edit our video at home. First, I airdropped the footage from Jacks computer to my phone. Then I deleted the footage that I didn’t think I would need. Then, when I got home, I was able to airdrop the footage from my phone to my laptop. Now, I moved the footage to my external hard drive, and from here I was ready to start editing. I uploaded the clips I wanted to use to Final Cut Pro X. Then I moved the clips into the order I wanted them onto the the timeline. Now, I cut out any extra footage that was taking up space. Now, I sped up parts that seemed too slow to me, monthly the scenes of me walking. Now I was ready to make closer changes. I edited the transition from hallway to field by cutting the scene in the hallway right when I caught the bag and then I cut the scene of me on the field right when I caught the bag and then put them together. From here the music would start playing. I also took out the sound from the original clips to make for zero surrounding sounds. I then edited all the other scenes to make it look clean as possible. When I flick the hall over jack’s head, I added a heart which admittedly doesn’t add anything which is why I’ll probably take it out. But I’ll still explain how I did it. First, I downloaded a green screen overlay pack, and then added the video to my library. I added it into the desired footage and then added the keyer effect to it. What this does is remove the green screen from the background. Now, I transformed the heart and moved it to the desired spot. Again, I’ll probably take it out. Now all that was left was the ending where I added a Nike swoosh and a just do it slogan. I downloaded images from google that had a black background and then uploaded them to the library. From here I was able to add them into the timeline for the desired amount of time. I added the luma keyer effect to take out the black background. Then I transformed it to the desired size. Now I used the luma dissolve to black to end the commercial. From here I exported the final product to the hard drive, under the AICE Media folder. Now, I texted the commercial to my phone. I could always go back to change anything I want to, but for now I think I’m the only one done with the commercial.
