The lip synching, in my opinion is one of the hardest parts in the process of making a music video, as it needs to be perfect. After uploading the footage from our tape, we had to place each clip onto the timeline with each clip in a new layer. As we did not capture each section of lip synching in a whole take, this makes the process of matching the scenes to the song, very difficult.
We'd estimate where the lip synching started and try to place it in the correct part of the timeline. We would have to watch the attempt on screen, before deciding whether the lip-synching was before or after the lyrics of the song. Sometimes we were lucky and managed to get the lip synching correct, first time.
Even though the process is tedious, each clip only took a few minutes. We would then look at each layer and check/uncheck the visibility of it according to whether we needed to view it or not. This method allowed us to cut sections of the take out, and move them to different layers.
