Additional Research: Editing to the Beat

When editing the rough cut, a key issue was the editing and the way it synchronized with the fast beat in the song. As a result, I decided to look into different ways of editing to the beat. This is particularly because as our song is quite fast paced, long takes may not work well.



There are many advantages and disadvantages with using this technique. Some advantages are that it is quick to do and easy to understand. However, using this technique means that it may also be easy to make mistakes, so it may take some resilience to master.

To further enhance my understanding, I used a song and practice setting markers to edit to the beat. Here is my attempt.




Alongside this, I practiced the technique with our own footage from the rough cut using the markers which I learned to use from additional research.


This is how the work space looked when I was editing to the beat.
