In part 2 of my 3 part series, I show how I retime and trim my clips to create scene changes that are synced with the music I have chosen.  Hopefully you can pick up a new trick!

I'll give a shoutout in part 3 to anyone who can get the exact total number of times I say the word "snippet" (or snippets) as well!




in case you missed part 1:




As always, I welcome all comments and critiques!

Thank you Robert, very interesting. Is quite similar to my own workflow but I've learned a couple of tricks from the video... Good work.

Interesting idea about changing up speed.  I have seldom tried it.  Not sure about slowing down a 30fps clip from the Spark.

One of the vloggers suggested listening through the song and inserting markers on the beat that you want and then cutting to them.  If you are going to vlog into the camera, you need to be off the wall.  You are lost in the wall if you are against it.  Background lights and shelf of camera gear/Pop bobbleheads, maybe.  Alternatively, it looks nice to hold up the prisoner number and id plate for the mugshot.

I love slowing down spark footage. I think it works really well.  Even editing in 24fps works great. I’ll show my tips and tricks for making it look better in part 3.

Thanks for your tip on the parts where I’m speaking into the camera. It’s a tighter shot than I was thinking it would be. I used the wrong lens. Maybe I will re-shoot part 3 tomorrow.

That's in part 4 of this 3 part series!


Actually, I do have a couple of things that I do to try to make my videos "relevant" but I don't know if people are super interesting in hearing about that.  If yes, I can totally divulge my secrets!

Your videos are very informative and I appreciate the time you take to put it together.

Haha mine too. At least the 4/3 part was.

Thanks for your kind words. It actually takes a good amount of time to put these things together.
