Adding time signatures to existing marker positions
In this section, we will review the technical aspect of adding a time signature. Previously, we used Beat Mapping to make the markers fall on the downbeat of a bar. As a result of this process, there were a variety of tempo changes made throughout the entire film. We will use time signature to make sure that each marker now falls on the downbeat of a bar.
This task of dealing with a time signature on its own, combined with beat mapping and tempo operations, can become challenging to deal with, so it’s important to take the extra time to work through each marker in this section and the next to become familiar with them.
Open the Mercedes-Benz Cabrio C 300_BITC.mov
movie file that was saved in Chapter 7, with the SMPTE-locked scene markers. Make sure that the movie and Logic Pro are in sync, and then name and save the project (for example, I will choose Time signature_01
).
