Escape Clip
I will now be adding a new clip to the
trailer. This clip will go after the Witch 2 clip. I choose this clip because I quite liked the idea as this clip as the ending. I know over the course of the creating the trailer that I have kept changing my mind about the ending. However, I am happy with this as my ending because I like the way she looks like she is escaping from something. I think it made the ending more dramatic now I am not longer using the jumping clip. I
will be
taking this Escape clip from Tombraider Walkthrough.
I made sure that the source tab was on in the viewing panel and dragged the walk-through to the viewing panel. I then used the In and Out Tool to
make a mark at 00:10:38:22 and 00:10:48:22. This clip is where shards
of glass fall onto the floor. I then dragged the clip down into the Project Clips Bin and renamed it 'Escape'.

I then dragged the clip to the timeline at the end of the end of the music. The
only problem with the clip was the writing on the clip which needed to
be removed.
So, I started by separating the video and
the audio, however, this time I kept the audio. I did this by right
clicking on the clip on the timeline and went to Unlink. I then
selected the audio and deleted it because I did not want the audio as I
was going to be using different audio music for it.

So, I have decided to try to resize the
clip so that there are two black lines which will match with the
previous clips by double clicking on the clip in the view panel on the
right hand side of the screen. However, this did not work very well,
because I resized the clip with a corner square, then tried to widen it
with a square on the right hand side, and it just resized it in the
wrong way. So, My only option at the moment is to crop it.
I used the crop and it worked out
loads better than I anticipated. I thought that I would be loosing a lot
of the video clip from both the top and the bottom, however I did not.
Which was a big relief, otherwise I would have had to go back and resize
all of the clips, meaning that I could loose quality and become
pixelated.
To get to the crop I went to the Effects Panel > Video Effects > Transform > Crop. I then selected the clip and then clicked on Effects Control. I
changed the crop percentages for both the top and the bottom only. This
is because I still wanted the width to be the same size as the fit, but
I wanted to cut some off the top and the bottom on that it matched the
previous clips [as mentioned above]. I only went with 20% because it was
enough that it looked like the other clips, but also enough that a lot
of the clip is still in tack and that you can still see everything that
happens.

I wanted to make sure that I had enough to fit within the gap that is left within the trailer. The reason why I got the got the whole clip was because I was not sure what part of this clip I actually wanted. So, I played through the clip till I found the pet of the clip I wanted. The part which I had choose was the part where the main character looks they have just escaped a chase within some caves. I thought this was really effective ending it kind of makes you think what is happening here, are they escaping from something!? To cut this clip I used the Razor Tool I just placed it where I wanted to cut the clip and clicked and it cut the clip. I then deleted the other half of the clip and moved the remaining clip into the gap. Lucky enough it actually fitted within the gap.
