lip syncing tutorial

Before i started my filming and editing I did a lip syncing tutorial so I could learn to lip sync the right way before doing it on my music video. In this tutorial I learnt where to put the music onto final cut express and then where to put the clip that had been filmed. We learnt to put these in certain places otherwise the audio would not work properly.
After we put the clips and the audio onto the time line we then learnt how to use the makers. The markers where very useful when I started to try and lip sync. Instead of just guessing if the words match the clip you could make a specific point on the audio for example the first big beat of the song or the first word sung of the song and the listen to the audio on the clip and put a marker where the same word is. By doing this I could then move the clip so the markers were in line and then if you have done it right the clip should be lip synced. This was a very good technique to use when it came to lip syncing my own music video. It was very useful to make the lip syncing exact and look professional.
