  • #s:vidding | My own notes for this panel resemble my notes for teaching, which is to say that they are extensive and yet idiosyncratic to the point of being incomprehensible to anyone who isn't, well, me. I have attempted to arrange and elaborate on them in a way that might actually be readable, and possibly…
  • #s:vidding | One trick I learned from [personal profile] futuransky is to use markers! Markers are exactly what they sound like -- visual bookmarks in your timeline. Most programs have them, as far as I know. Some programs let you color-code your markers, or do other fancy things. Play your timeline and set a marker with the shortcut key every time you hear a beat (or on important lyric lines, etc.) The key is to make sure you're consistent about what the markers mean.
  • #s:vidding | The technical question is how to get a particular visual (an explosion, a punch, or whatever) to land in sync with a particular point in the audio (usually a beat, but not always). It really helps to be able to look at the waveform of the audio, so, if you can, zoom in on that. If you're trying to land something on a beat, you will probably see a spike in the audio where the beat is. Find the frame that you want to land on that beat (the moment of impact, the point where the light starts to get really bright) and position it three frames BEFORE the spike in the waveform. Then replay and tweak as necessary -- three frames is a guideline, but a lot depends on the exact visual and sound that you're working with.
