So yeah, this turned out to be harder than I thought.
I wanted to make an introduction that would quickly showcase all of the @JustSpices seasoning blends that I am going to review with the final frame landing on the blend that I would be using for the review.
I thought I had been spot on with all of the pictures and, only looking at them through the camera display, they looked right. After importing them to Final Cut Pro and running through the video I quickly saw that was not the case. If you watch the video you too can experience what it’s like to film a video during an earthquake.
I need to figure out how to place each seasoning container in the same place for each shot. I also need to rely on a tripod instead of holding the camera with my hands.
I thought it would be simple but it is not.
Lesson learned.
I will do a little brainstorming, figure it out, and do a reshoot.
Problem solved.
Another thing I discovered about Final Cut Pro is that it is not set up to easily edit a collection of photos into a quick, short duration video. I had to trim each picture down after importing them into my timeline.
The soundtracks also allow only so much trimming. I could not figure out how to trim the soundtrack down to the duration I needed. I ended up having to export the video (thank you Airdrop) to my iPhone, trim the video so it ended where I wanted without the extra soundtrack playing to a blank screen, and then Airdrop it back to my iPad. I am going to see if I can find an easier solution.
Or it could be that I don’t know what I am doing.
I have a bit of work ahead of me, but I also think I have a good idea about what’s needed to accomplish it.
That’s where I’m going to leave it for tonight.
I hope you all are well.
