We Can't Rewind, We've Gone Too Far…
I spent the better part of the weekend working on a promotional video for 80s Invasion. At this point I’m probably 50% finished with it. This project is one of the more complex multi-track audio / video edits that I have done to date; I have 20 cascading audio tracks (one for each song segment) and 7 video layers. Most of the general blocking is complete and within a week I expect to have a rough edit ready for review by the band. It’ll clock in at around 8:30 and will be a good promotional tool for us. In the process of putting this project together I have set up a number of new transition effects for the video layers, and those will be useful additions to my library. Once I have a final version completed (mid-November), I’ll upload it to our site for review.
Oh, and extra points for recognizing the Buggles quote. David, I figure you are already singing the song 🙂
“Oh-a-oh!” Yup – Video Killed the Radio Star – first selection played on MTV… ever. I’m curious – what package are you using for your video editing? “Oh-ah-ah-ah-oh!”
Let’s see if your 50%-finished and 1-week-to-go estimates are right Mr. Project Manager.
David,
I’m using Sony Vegas to do the video editing. Working very well indeed!
Gil,
As of today, I’ve finished the first cut of the full video. I’m planning to continue refining some portions, especially transitions and titling. But the first milestone has been hit.
