Post Production #4

In this editing session, we placed on the mobile footage of the bowling from when we went to London the second time. We also added more reversal effect to this footage to fit in with the rest of what we had done prior. This session went well as we stuck to the animatic and added more effects. To improve for next time we should experiment with more effects and cut to off beats of the song to make it more interesting.

To create this reverse effect:

1) Import footage and place in timeline

2) Use the razor tool to cut where you want the reverse effect to start and end

3) Delete footage that follows on from the end of where you decided when the reverse effect ends

4) Duplicate the clip you have decided to reverse and place after

5) Right click on the middle section of your sequence and click on "Speed/Duration"

6) From here, tick the "Reverse Speed" box the "OK"

7) From the start of the clip you have reversed, drag backwards towards the first clip, they will both appear in the preview window with where they start, match the numbers so when the clip reverses, it is aligned with the forward clip.

8) Do the same with the other end of the reverse clip and drag it forward towards the start of the  last clip and match the start and end, like previously.
