VT Insert work

During the multiple sessions we were having in our groups to order our rounds. I was busy making sure the Internet rounds VT inserts were done, and then helped some friends out in thinking about opening title sequences, audio music and stings. The title through a class vote became Media Meltdown, and with the name, we thought the show was to be upbeat. So using programs such as Garage Band and Logic Pro, me and another PPP (Post Production Producer) created a theme tune, however in truth it sounded like a construction site and wasn't particualry nice. I tried to change it however it still failed, but 2 others had managed to go onto youtube and watch a guide on using photoshop, and several other programs, to create the opening sequence, with stings and title.

It took them 2 days, and for the time they made it and a week off due to hospital reasons, i find that a lot of my work has been done for me. Which I am gratefull, but at the same time, was hoping to get something done. So at the first chance i leapt to gain some ground of respect and took the job of compiling all rounds vt inserts onto 1 DVD, complete with chapters. Needless to say I found it difficult to work with, and even now 2 days before the actual show there are still some bugs that need sorting out.

What I had to do was get every single audio, video, and picture track into Final Cut Pro, and edit it all together into one peice. Then export that onto DVD Pro, and give it some chapters, i had to redo the peice several times, due to missing titles out, or not knowing the order that some were to go in. On top of that the script writer needed a Cue sheet of the inserts to do the scripts. So once i had worked everything together, i then had to go through each insert, and record its start time, end time, duration, and finally what actually happens in the clip.

Most of it was fine, however 2 of the clips i made for the internet round was horribly short, about 2 seconds, and that is my fault for not noticing it sooner. Also i thought that i had done the chapter marking correctly, however when returning to college the next day, I had missed the chance to do it as i was at a doctors appointment, and even with the help of my fellow PPP's the chapters had not synced right.
