Social action & Community; FINAL EDIT

Today I looked over my first edit of my social action and community film and decided to slow down the parts in the film that seemed to be going too fast. I went through each frame again on Final Cut Pro before changing the times of the middle frames so that there is now enough time for the text in the film to be read before it disappears. By doing I changed the length of the film from 32 seconds to 45.9 seconds and because of the this the excerpt I'm using from a song is now too short. To get around this problem I decided to edit the song so that I could control the part of the song I wanted to use for the film.

To edit the song I opened the Garageband program on my laptop. I then created a new file where I dragged the song I'll be using onto the timeline.

I then found the place in the song where I wanted it to end for the film before splitting it (command+T) and deleting the part I no longer wanted. 

I then added the song a second time to a new timeline underneath the original song. I then repeated the step of splitting the song at the part I wanted and deleting the part I didn't.

I then moved the part I wanted onto the original timeline before copying and pasting the same part so that it would then repeat again making the the part of the song I wanted to be longer.

After I had done this I sent the song to Itunes before importing my social and action film I had made previously on Final Cut Pro into IMovie (File>import>movie) before dragging the film onto the timeline and adding my edited version of the song onto the timeline. I then exported the film from IMovie in an AVI format.

FINISHED PRODUCT;

I'm really happy with the final product although because I had to slow down some parts of the animation the movement of the ballon in some parts is a little disjointed then it was before but still playing well. You can also hear where I edited the song towards the end, but unless you're listening closely I don't think it will be too noticeable.
