TUTORIAL #2

 

Working With Sound

In the second lesson, you’ll learn how to view audio waveforms and edit the audio portions of your project. You’ll also add music and a lower-third graphic to identify your interview subject. And finally, you’ll export your final video file to share with the world.

Skills Challenge

Using the project files found below, practice the skills you just learned. Edit portions of the included interview footage together to form a cohesive short segment. Then, add some supporting B-roll footage over the interview to add visual interest. Finally, try adding a music bed underneath the interview, and a lower third to identify the speaker.
