Final Assignment: Editing for the 2nd time

Because of the extreme conditions during the other editing night, we had to do a check for the subtitles as well as some of the editing that we have done the night before.

After running a check through the NUS video's subtitles, I went ahead to continue editing the CNM video. The CNM video still did not have an audio file to go with it so I had to look for one. Freeplaymusic.com was one of our choices as it offers music that is free for all non-commercial uses. Thankfully, Wang Yi, my group mate, found a good light-hearted tune to go with the CNM interview video. Thanks, Wangyi!

We also had a lot of problems with some green screen errors. We did not realise it when we added the background before but upon previewing the video, parts of our friend's body disappeared because she had an accessory on. And the guitar in the 'Music Conservatory' scene also disappeared! We panicked and called Jia Xiang for help.He taught us how to do masking and tracking, such that the mask will follow the subject and cover up the green screen errors. It's really amazing how something like that could save our work.

Now that the audio is in, the backgrounds are done, all we can wait for is the presentation.

Cheers!
