Editing- Using Photoshop and LiveType.

As part of the music video, the title and artist must be placed at the beginning and at the end, much like the video's shown on music channels. To do this we decided to use Adobe Photoshop for the first part of the process.

After opening Photoshop, the first thing that we did was created a new file. We decided to make this transparent which meant that when eventually put onto Final Cut Express, only the writing would be visible.

Using the text tool, we seleected an area and typed out the information needed. We changed the font, colour and size as necessary.

To finish adding the song title and artist to our video we needed to use LiveType. After placing the file into LiveType, we then had to adjust the settings. The images below show the timeline, as well as the options available for changing the size and other attributes of the image.


After making sure the text is the right size, we exported the clip into a QuickTime movie which allowed us to place it into Final Cut Express.
