Here is an overview of one way that this process could be applied to making your own music video on a budget.

  1. Work out your exact musical arrangement. 2. Video record the band playing the song to this arrangement. Make sure you include the sound in the

recording. Using more than one camera will potentially make for a more interesting final product, because of the opportunities it offers to cut, crossfade, etc. 3. Create a new project file and import your video items, each to a separate track. Import also any

additional video items (e.g. not of the band playing) that you wish to use. If you have more than one item, turn the volume on all but one track all the way down. 4. Using the video sound track as a guide track, overdub record every part (vocals and instruments) in the

studio, as you would for a non-video project. Add any other audio material that you need. 5. Edit and mix the audio material in your usual way. Edit your video tracks as required. Save and render.
