Music Vid editing/creation
Hi, about to embark on my first music video for a band, low budget doing it all on my own: final vid will be performance footage shot on a white bg with some mograph elements and some cool transitions narrating it. the footage will be layered up in AE with textures etc. and never look aesthetically like the original shoot
Now, everything obviously needs to be in sync with the original track, do I sync up all the angles/shots with the track in fcp or just stay in AE? Any reccomendations? I don’t have much experience in final cut but I think the razor tool is all I need really isn’t when the shots are synced with the track?

Yeah, it would be best to do a final edit of footage with the music in FCP, realtime is so much faster than waiting for a preview. Then, when you render, make sure to render out a reference movie and drop that into AE. (No intermediate files here!) and all should be good to go in AE. When you render out of AE you won’t have to use a compressed version of the video and it should turn out as pretty as a picture!
As far as synch goes, there should be a small red box on your clips in the timeline when they are out of synch. If you right click over it you get the option to slip in synch with the audio track. If that’s all goofy then you will need to use the slip tool. The razor blade will do nothing to help synch, it is only for cutting.
Hope that helps,
