Now that we've got everything reassembled,…let's just take a close look at…how everything is working.…We'll definitely need to change a few things…before performing color correction,…and eventually getting approval from our client.…I'm going to go into my pre-tweak sequence here,…and there were definitely a few issues that arose…because of readding the new elements.…There were just a few slight timing discrepancies…between the lengths of the hero placeholders,…and the lengths of the provided…graphically treated shots.…Additionally, there were differences in the music…and the voiceover, so at the very least,…we'll need to fix those timings,…and we'll likely need to adjust some sync issues…between the picture and audio, as well.…
