Bait Tutorial
In order to create an opening sequence that looks proffesional, our class had a Bait Tutorial, which teaches us certain skills in editing on an apple mac.
There are 4 different sections on the screen; the Timeline, Canvas, Viewer and the files.When editing using Bait, all unedited shots are in the Canvas. To select a section of that shot which u would like to use; u select it by pressing "I" at the beggining of the shot, and pressing "O" at the end of the shot. You then drag your selection down to the Timelie. Any shots that are selcted and brought down to the Timeline can be watched in the Viewer.
On our tutorial we learnt how to use match cuts. The example that we used was of a man walking into a cafe and grabbing food from a plate. We cut from his body, to his hand, then back to his body. Match cuts make the shot change look natural and they have to be accurate for them to work.
There is a tool on Bait called Razor Blade. This tool allows u to select sections quickly and delete them with a click. It is easy and fast so that no time is wasted. It is found on the toolbar on the right of the screen.
If there are any gaps inbetween clips on the timeline, to get rid of them quickly and perfectly, click in the gap and press CTRL at the same time to close the space.
To edit shots so that they dissolve into eachover, click on the end of the shot and press CTRL and "T" on the keyboard and the effect will be added. However if there isnt sufficient space on the IN and OUT points the effect will not work and an error bar will appear.
To include music in your clip, select the music you want, using "I" and "O" for the IN and OUT points, select the hand at the top of the bar and drag it onto the Timeline underneath the clips.
