After putting all the shots I wanted to use together, I exported them as a rough cut version of the soon to be music video. After viewing the it, I saw that the clip had 20 minutes, as I was very confused as to why, and more than 15 minutes were blank. I checked the exporting settings, and the curser was set very far from where the video actually ends, so it saved it as a whole 20 minute clip. The format chosen was also not the right one, being too long and thin. These mistakes were done as I didn't know the software well enough, but I was happy I made them with this unedited version, because I now know what to do differently. When I first started to work on the project I was still using Final Cut Pro, and cut only the parts with Francesca dancing, after which I moved my platform to Da Vinci Resolve. What I did then was export the clips with Francesca, added them to the new platform, and cut them again, as I had a lot of footage I didn't want to use, due to it being too repetitive or redundant and long. An I issue I encountered was that these clips showed as 'media offline' in my timeline, so I saved the version where this is visible, in order to show that the editing process can be long, and many unexpected problems may arise. At first I thought I had to cut each part of the long video with her dancing again, but I figured out a way to just replace the 'media offline' clips with the right ones again by clicking 'relink selected clips' in Da Vinci, and adding that exported whole video again to the media pool, and the cuts I made stayed the same, so it saved me a lot of time. After shooting all scenes, I started choosing with care the shots I wanted in my video, but my teacher advised me to only look in the media timeline on Da Vinci, and put the shots directly onto to song, to ease my work and to be more effective. The beat match wasn't a big problem, only in some cases where I had shots that lasted a few seconds, I needed them to be longer in order to match the music, but I figured it out by either shortening them and adding another one in the seconds left or move them onto another part of the song. Further on, I plan to color edit my shots with green and red, and play around with the exposure to make them look bright enough but not to bright, to also match the darker theme of Sevdaliza.
