Getting way better at navigating Capcut, I actually know what I’m doing. I’m adding pictures with ease now, a very quick process. As I watched the unfinished video, I decided to keep the song Stand by Me, by Ben E King. It really goes with the photos, and it has a lot of beats that I could be in sync with the photos. Today's task is matching the beat with the photos. When the beat drops, a photo should cut to the next for example. I added 3 more pictures to my video that I’ve taken over the past few days. Matching the cuts with the beats was way more difficult than I figured it to be. It took an insane amount of listening, I had to use my headphones so I could listen better. Within the song its multiple beats, and the beat I'm trying to match it up with is the “clap” sound, but behind the claps it's almost like a guitar sound. I had to basically start from the very beginning of the video to match and sync each clip. At first it was difficult but as I got a little farther it got somewhat easier. Some clips were way more difficult trying to align the beat because of the next picture.
It was one big process of shorting and lengthening the clips, so now every clip is not 1.5 seconds. Some clips are perfect and right on beat, and some are a little delayed by barely half a second but it's not very noticeable. Around the 20 second mark, about halfway is where I got tricked up, I had to replay and keep fixing it about 8 times because I wasn’t satisfied. After the clip I struggled on, I realized that the next clip didn’t have an animation or a transition and it started to look plain and not on brand with the song, so I decided to add a short half a second animation. It made that half look way better. The second half of the video I didn’t have to fix much because it was pretty much aligning with the beat. Only a few minor tweaks here and there which were easy. My next concern is now the end of the video.
