Day 11 – The best laid plans….

Yeah, I know, a tad melodramatic.

I have added some stock music that @Apple provides in the app and am in the process of trying to have everything sync the way I think it should (the way other Youtubers say it should at least). That is an exercise all on its own. I have gained an appreciation for the jog wheel. It has allowed me to be very precise (I hope) in placing videos in line with the music.

It is also good to be able to use the Apple Pencil in the editing process. I like using it to scrub through videos. It seems to allow for a smoother flow than my finger does.

That said, after spending a couple of hours working to get everything just right I ended up with a video that did not quite sync with the music. 

I think it may be that I imported the music but did not sync it to the end before I started tinkering with everything. When I had very thing the way I wanted it I collapsed the soundtrack to the end of the video and voila, everything was now just a smidge out of sync.

Lesson learned.

I will attempt another sync tomorrow and hopefully have the rough version that I can add some polish to.

Thanks for listening to me tonight.

I hope you all enjoy your evening.
