However - as I blogged about in our last session - there is no reverse or rewind effect on imovie.
So, this week Dominic helped us to export the video onto the server so he could reverse it on another device.
To export the file we had to:
- Open the project in imovie
- Select "share > export movie
- We exported the movie to the desktop, which took about 15 minutes
- Then we dragged the exported file from desktop into the server
While we waited for the movie to be exported to the desktop, Becca showed us Conchita Wurst's performance at the Eurovision 2015 semi finals to show us the lighting on it. It was really cool, they had a whole curtain of lights all controlled individually, moving up and down in a particular sequence that made it look like the movements of wings (which fits the song "Rise Like a Pheonix"). It was beautiful, I'd like to find out how they designed it. Becca told us that each light on there will have been controlled by DMX; I almost can't believe that such a huge display can be controlled by one system, but it's awesome.
Anyway, after the movie finished exporting and we moved it into the server, Dominic then went to another device and reversed the movie for us on Final Cut Pro. He came back and helped us put the reversed file back onto the desktop and then we tried to move it into imovie, but this is where we reached our next problem. Even though imovie said the file upload was successful, we couldn't find the file anywhere in imovie. After trying to upload it a few more times but it still not working, we had no choice but to give up.
It is really annoying that we still cannot finish it ourselves, but Dominic has really generously told us he'll export it as a different file type tomorrow morning to get it finished. Hopefully that will go well, and we will finally have our finished music video!
