Join Ashley Kennedy for an in-depth discussion in this video Continuing the edit: Adding and removing material, part of Avid Media Composer 8 Essential Training.
…Okay, I'm in my 4.2 bin.…And we've got our narration spliced in here.…And in this movie, we're going to continue editing this.…We're removing material that we don't want, and…adding B-roll to help tell our story.…Now first, although I do want to keep the vast majority of my narration.…There are just a couple of areas that I need to remove,…because I just simply don't have any B-roll for them.…For our convenience, I have marked them with markers here.…And I'm going to just zoom in, and let's take a listen to see what's going on.…
>> Once the gob is secured, the other end of the 5-foot steel or…iron pipe is cooled in a barrel of water.…And the glass blower can set to work handling and shaping the delicate mass.…The glass blower blows into the pipe-…>> All right, I simply don't have any B-roll of the pipe being cooled in…a barrel of water.…So I think it will still work if I remove this section and…say, once the gob is secured, the glass blower blows into the pipe.…So let's do this, go ahead and…mark an in at the beginning of this, and an out right at the end.…
