Editing Is Harder Than It Looks
Once I had imported all the individual clips onto Capcut as one video, it was time to figure out the transitions. I do not have much experience when it comes to editing, despite me thoroughly enjoying it, and essentially play around with the settings until I reach a product I believe is visually pleasing and meets the requirements. I knew some of the scenes were choppy and thus quickly understood that the video would certainly not go as I had originally planned. While I was disappointed to come to this realization, I powered through and edited transitions to fit the vision I had as much as possible. For majority of the scene, I attempted to use a black fade or have the scene dissolve into the next. I was nervous to be ambitious with the transitions since I do not have as much experience as I wish I did and wanted to play it safe. Keeping the transitions relatively uniform and not too all over the place was also a prominent goal of mine. With the transition in place, the next goal to tackle was the audio editing. I was not looking forward to this as I knew I would have to do majority of the audio editing on my phone if I wanted to make the process easier. This is because the options for audio in Capcut on the app version are more versatile than those offered on desktop. Moreover, once I had exported the video to the app and important the sound, I had to make some splits within the video. This was because I had to ensure the music video faded out of the ambient noise and into the song itself properly. This was not a difficult process, but lining up the song to the lip syncing was since I had cut out some of the clips for a smooth transition. Nevertheless, after figuring I could add some more footage to the beginning of the video, this should balance out the audio and video length. And with that, the editing process was over! That's all for today's post, until next time everyone.
