Artist Talk and Mashup

So I went to the artist talk today. Amar had come to speak to my Nature Writing class and I have to say, she was much better in front of 10 of us then in front of 30. More on that later.

My mashup has taken a while. Last Wednesday, I went through 8 video clips and wrote down the information (name of clip, name of poet, time of words) that I wanted to make my poem. I then drafted 5 different poems to choose from. I chose my third. After I figured out how to use Final Cut, I cut the different clips into the couple second bits that I needed. However, it will not play as a whole. At first, I was cutting the clips on the same line and then I realized that I was looking at the wrong time tracker thingy. I switched to having each clip on its own separate line and I was able to edit the pieces much better. However, I am still not sure why it will not play as a whole. Also, after doing those hours of work, I realized that all of the compiled edits only added up to about 30seconds of video. So, I added about 25 more. Still the same problem. I read the entire tips sheet and watched several youtube videos but I can't figure out why it will not play. I think it is probably something really silly and simple that I am missing. I guess we will see tomorrow...
