The document provides guidelines for editing a music video, including: 1) Choosing the best takes and angles from different shots, with the option to cut between clips as long as there is a transition between parts from different takes. 2) Using specific editing programs to synchronize video clips with the audio track and disable scratch tracks for playback while editing. 3) Cutting between shots simply by using a razor tool to delete clips above the desired shot, allowing for easy switching of angles like live TV editing. This technique works well for music videos but not movies.

2. Possible Ways to EditAs the editor review all the takes and shots, then choose your favorite take for every shot and angle. In practice, you may prefer to use different parts from different takes. E.g. you may decide that your preferred beginning of a crane move is in your first take, whereas your favorite ending of the crane move is from another take. That’s good, providing of course that there is a cutaway between the two clips and you are getting your point or emphasis through. If you want the crane move to be uninterrupted, which is highly unlikely in a music video, you will have to choose your favorite take and leave it uncut.Using I Movies HD you will need to use specific programs that will help synchronize the video clips with the track, disable the scratch sound tracks, but don’t delete them from the timeline, because you might need them again later. In this way when you scrub the timeline you will only hear the master track and you will see your music video take shape.To cut from one shot to another, you simply use the razor tool and delete all clips above the one you want. In this way you cut the video without having to drag and drop clips, because that step was taken care of when you synchronized your selected clips with the song. In this way you are effectively switching view from one angle to another, a bit like real-time editing of TV shows. This technique is not applicable to movies, but works very nicely when editing music videos.
